3-2-1 Assignment- Genetic Inheritance 3 Main Points: 1. The cell contains three important things. Those three things are the nucleus, mitochondria, and the ribosomes. The nucleus consists of DNA and RNA molecules which contain hereditary information that has a jurisdiction of the cell’s purpose. The mitochondria contains mtDNA distinctive influence in human developmental research. Lastly, the ribosomes are the basic necessity to the process of protein synthesis. 2. Meiosis is a process where…
The focus of this lab was to identify which plasmid (pFG or pGLO) transformed into E. coli culture. E. coli have the capability to take up foreign DNA from their environment in times of stress. In order for the E. coli to be transformed, the E. coli must first be made competent. Once the culture has been made competent, the cells can transform. The plasmid that was inserted into the E. coli culture contained antibiotic-resistant gene and a reporter gene. A reporter gene is a gene that is easy to…
The career my group and I chose was forensic genetics. Forensic genetics is the branch of genetics where they use genetics to help identify crime victims, perpetrators, or family relationships. People who work in this field are called forensic geneticists. They work mostly in medical of crime labs. Most of these jobs require only a bachelor's degree in one of the physical sciences. If you want to become a leader on the lab, you will need a Masters degree. A bachelor's degree is the lowest…
Environment is the term used for defining our surroundings which may include the biotic and abiotic components that are present around us. Biotic components include the microbes, plants and animals and abiotics are soil, water and air [1]. Biotechnology is the integration of technology and natural sciences by utilizing organisms and cells, to produce knowledge, services and products [2]. Environmental biotechnology refers to the application of biotechnology which is used for finding a way to…
Saibhuvaneswari RA1611014010048 JUMPING GENES Transposable elements (TEs), also known as "jumping genes" or transposons, are sequences of DNA that move (or jump) from one location in the genome to another. A transposable element (TE or transposon) is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size. Transposition often results in duplication of the TE. The transposable elements make…
Otto Schneider Grade 10 Biology Ms Ruebe D Assessment - DNA Technology DNA Profiling Forensic Identification Forensic Identification refers to the use of forensic science to identify objects from trace evidence found on them. Trace evidence is used to reconstruct crimes or accidents. DNA profiling is a method in forensic science which can identify individuals by their DNA profiles. DNA profiles are encrypted sets of letters that represent a person’s DNA makeup. These sets can be used as a…
1. Francis Crick Crick discovered the relative distances of the repetitive elements in the DNA molecule, and the dimensions of the monoclinic unit cell which indicated that the molecule was in two matching parts, running in opposite directions. He also, in collaboration with Watson discovered the material that our genes are made of and put forward the model of the double helix DNA structure which included the measurements of the angels formed by different chemical bonds. Crick in collaboration…
Possible Modifications of Central Dogma of molecular Biology Introduction The central dogma of molecular biology is describes the transfer of genetic information within a biological system and was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956. The central dogma is the flow of genetic information as ‘’DNA makes the RNA and RNA makes the protein.’’All biological cells with few exceptions in some follow this rule. This flow takes place through three fundamental processes: replication, transcription and…
Molecular communication is a paradigm for Nanomachines to exchange information. Due to some of the biological properties, bacteria have been proposed as a carrier for molecular communication, such communication networks are known as bacterial Nanonetworks. The biological property of bacteria is ability to mobilize and carry the information encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid molecules. Bacteria have social characteristic, which provides bacteria to evolve in fluctuating environment using…
Suppose we have a certain segment of a DNA molecule ,a gene for example that we want to amplify ,that is make many identical copies of that gene of interest, one way is to basically take that gene to integrate it into a bacterial plasmid to place that recombinant plasmid into a bacterial cell and to allow that bacterial cell to divide many times and eventually make many copies of that gene of interest. The problem with this particular method is that it is not only time consuming and not only is…
