    Nt1310 Unit 1 Lab Report

    1. Four kinds of samples that could be collected at a crime scene to obtain DNA are fingerprints, shed hairs, bloodstains, and saliva. 2. When loading DNA into the gel, to guarantee no cross contamination, different pipettes were utilized to load each DNA sample into the wells. The different pipettes ensured that no residue left over from the previous samples would mix with the new samples. Proper procedures were also taken to insert the DNA into the wells properly without puncturing the agarose

    Deleting Oncogenes in Cancer Cells with Dna Strand Slippage

    synthesis by DNA polymerase can cause single bases to be deleted (2). Applying conditions for this slippage to the replication of the oncogenes in liver cancer cells will cause base deletion and render the gene unable to encode a protein that promotes tumor growth. The experimental control will be DNA sequences matching the oncogenes that will be treated with DNA polymerase λ due to its high rate of base deletion (2). A second experimental control will be DNA treated with DNA polymerase μ. The negative

    Dna Fingerprinting

    bases held together by weak hydrogen bonds. A DNA fingerprint is manufactured by first extracting the DNA from the cells and multiplying the DNA by performing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA is then analysed by use of restriction enzymes and electrophoresis. The DNA is firstly multiplied by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is artificial DNA replication. DNA is extracted from the cells, which were possibly found at the crime scene. This DNA is added to a test-tube simultaneously

    Essay On Influenza Epidemics

    The RNA polymerase is essential in the construction of multiple copies of RNA using an mRNA template. A virus benefits from producing multiple copies of RNA as this ultimately leads to reproduction of multiple copies of the virus within the host cell. Influenza viruses contain the necessary genes on their own RNA proteins to produce RNA polymerase. The gene is known as PB1. We believe that mutations in the PB1 gene play an important
