genetic information from DNA to RNA and it occurs inside the nucleus. DNA has four nitrogenous bases (adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T) that are paired together as A-T and G-C. Since DNA is a double helix the second strand has the corresponding nitrogenous bases. The second base has the complementary pairs to the nitrogenous bases of the nucleotides in the first strand. During the process of protein synthesis, DNA helicase unwinds or unzips the double helix of DNA creating two separate

DNA DATA STORAGE GOOD OR BAD? Thomas Tyrrell Will Combs With the growth of the amount of data that is now being stored, the idea behind storing that data in DNA is a fascinating one. Companies, governments and universities face an enormous challenge storing the ever-growing flood of digitized information, the videos, books, movies and songs sent over the Internet. Some researchers have looked for answers in biology. In recent years, they have found ways to encode trademarks in cells and

cause a protein to unravel and lose its normal shape. This is called denaturation of the protein. 4. Explain the differences between DNA and RNA? The difference between RNA and DNA is that instead of the base thymine, RNA has a similar but distinct base called uracil. Except for the presence of ribose and uracil, an RNA polynucleotide chain is identical to a DNA polynucleotide chain. RNA

attempt to explore the philosophical controversies that represented by “new and emergent science”. The field of new and emergent science includes many other sub topics such as human cloning, animal cloning, nanomachines, human genome mapping, and DNA altering. I believe that a person could write many books while only scratching the surface of the philosophical debates that surround these intense issues. I believe that there are specific parts of these new sciences and technologies that a postcolonialist

or metabolize food, and which therapies our bodies do and do not respond to (Hart, 2005). The genome consists of an organism's total DNA, including its genes. DNA—the famous "double helix"—is composed of four chemicals, which are repeated many times in different sequences (Jain, 2007). (The names of the chemicals are abbreviated as A, T, C, and G. That's why DNA is sometimes referred to as a code with a four-letter alphabet) (Jain, 2007). The sequence of the chemicals dictates the type of organism

Your mother did no work in creating you.” I told the lady yes I was his daughter but what amazes me was this lady I never met knew my father and stated that I look just like him.
