Noncoding DNA

After each cycle, the newly synthesized DNA strands can serve as template in the next cycle. 4.2. Advantages of Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Since its first description in 1988, multiplex PCR has been successfully applied in many areas of DNA testing including analyses of deletion, mutations, and polymorphisms, or quantitative assays and reverse transcription (Henegariu et al., 1997). Indeed…

Chakrabarty Case is a case involving the application of a patent filed in 1972 by Dr Chakrabarty (Plaintiff) , a microbiologist. He sought to patent after artificially creating a bacterium which could degrade crude oil , breaking it down to multiple components. The patent filed by Chakrabarty was under Title 35 U.S.C Section 101. It was a patent for people who discovered or created products or composition of matter that is useful. In other words, it was a patent about an oil-eating…

There is a thing that protects humanity from dangerous crimes; a thing that diagnoses and prescribes to individuals according to different diseases; a thing that works faster and more accurately more than humanity. What is it? It is artificial intelligence. When people go to a movie theater, they can easily notice various films based on artificial intelligence. In the past, almost all movies which were dealing with artificial intelligence on humans contained a battle to take over the world…

read for my Biology book report was, The Double Helix, A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA an autobiography written by James D. Watson. It was released in 1968 and was published by Atheneum Press (US), Weidenfeld & Nicolson (UK) and is 226 pages. As the title suggests, the book is Dr. Watson’s personal account of the groundbreaking discovery of the structure of DNA. Biologists already knew that genes were the material responsible for traits getting passed from one…

The Difference in Seed Drop Velocity Between Sugar Maple and Norway Maple Seeds Authors: Vanessa Alan, Aubrey Bianco, Micayla Boots, Erin Slason BI 101.35 Dr. Kotila Introduction: The question on how plants and ultimately seeds travel from one place to another was just one of the many research questions asked by Charles Darwin. Darwin was an experimentalist who proposed many questions and performed corresponding experiments that tested multiple hypothesis. For instance, Darwin wanted to…

The era that brought a wide spectrum of new ideas to the written world, the era that made talking animals almost normal; welcome to postmodernism. Literature in this era was different from what was seen before. It was believed that everything that could have been written about was already done and then done once more. Writers took this and approached it with a positive attitude and made this for the better. Writers acquired what was already done and experimented and drew inspiration from that to…

Also, if Hitler had a brain disease that influenced his decisions and bad people were able to clone, they could clone Hitler and it would be bad. Some people claim that they have found cloth that has Jesus' DNA on it so they could try to clone Jesus and that wouldn’t be right. I am completely against it, it is unnatural and I don’t think God wants us making copies of each other because we are supposed to be…

The fruit flies does deal with dominant vs. recessive for the wing traits. Complete dominance occurs when the dominant allele complete cover (hide) the recessive allele. This occurs to the wing traits in the fruit flies. Normal wings are dominant over vestigial wing and base on the data, the female that carries the vestigial wing did not create any F1 generation of vestigial traits. This occurs because the male has normal wing so when the two parent meet; the dominant normal wing in the male…

Data and Results: During ten generations of construction bugs, the blue construction bug declined in number greatly and then went extinct, the yellow construction bug number declined greatly and then leveled out, the purple construction bug number increased greatly and then declined, the green construction bug number increased greatly, declined greatly ,and then increased slightly, and the orange construction bug number increased, decreased, and increased again. Conclusion: The aforementioned…

Should foods be genetically modified? Simply, yes, foods should be genetically modified, but no more than they are currently. At this point in time, it would be impossible to "unmodify" all the foods to the extent necessary to say that they are no longer modified. However, further modification could lead to backlash from opponents that are already near if not at their breaking point, and the food that isnt modified is all they are willing to take as it is. Forcing them to take what they don't…
