Crystallography and DNA Rosalind Franklin, the woman who contributed to scientist of the future understanding DNA structure. Scientist such as James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins benefited greatly from her findings. They received a Nobel Prize based off of her findings. Rosalind was also an X-ray crystallographer. X-ray crystallography is used for looking at atomic and molecular structures of crystal. This work contributed to her discovering the structure of DNA. Franklin was born

and archaea. Viruses depend on the cellular system of their host for reproduction. Viruses have three main parts, which are nucleic acid, protein coat and lipid membrane. Nucleic acid is the core of a virion, which holds all the genetic information (DNA and RNA) and helps it multiply. The protein coat or capsid protects the virus by covering it and the capsid is covered by a envelope called lipid membrane. Not all viruses have the capsid and the ones that do not have the capsid known as naked viruses

theory was correct and laid the foundation for many other scientific studies to eventually lead to significant advancements in genetic study. In the 1960’s scientists exposed the genetic codes which led to decades of discovery to include genetic maps, DNA and RNA sequences, and multiple data strands. Gene therapy was introduced in 1990 with a clinical trial study on a 4 year old little girl suffering from adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA); which is a severe combined immune deficiency brought on by

I killed the 48 women listed in the states second amended information. In most cases when I killed these women I did not know their names. Most of the time I killed them the first time I met them and I do not have a good memory of their faces.

is 100% true. Actually what you see on T.V. is mainly false or over exaggerated in some way. Criminal Investigation is the largest and most known form of Forensic Science. More of the known areas that people know about Forensics are; Fingerprinting, DNA Identification, Fiber Samples, Computer Animation, etc. What people see on T.V. is that it takes about an hour for the people on the NCIS, or Law & Order to figure everything. Typically it takes months at a time, and most of the time aren’t even accurate

DNA is a large and complex molecule made up of a sugar phosphate backbone which consists of deoxyribose sugar bonded with phosphate groups. Then branching off the sugar phosphate backbone are complimentary nitrogenous base pairs which are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. Transcription happens in the nucleus, where the double helix ‘unzips’ allowing mRNA to

Assignment 1: Biology Article Cinthya Jacobo Professor: Dr. Francie Coblentz Introduction to Biology: SCI115 11/08/2015 The article “Therapeutic Cloning, and stem cell Research” by Gena Smith is about how we can extract stem cells from replicated human embryos and use them for medical and therapeutic purposes. The stems cells are perfect because they are what the article calls “master cells” which with the help of science, can be manipulated to become anything from brain cells to kidney cells

eugenics. Genetic engineering was incorporated in certain species of plants to modify crop yields and improve resistance to certain crop diseases. The scientists inserted a given gene into plasmid bacteria to ensure that the plant cell assumed the new DNA. The technology has allowed many plant species to thrive in harsh conditions, including cold, hot, and effectively resist pests. There are different edible foods, which have been designed through the technology. The last century has recorded discoveries
