The University of California Davis Medical School reserved sixteen spots for minorities…

Affirmative action policies have been the topic of debate amongst universities for quite some time now. Many question whether or not using race as a factor in the admissions process is legitimate, and some people like Ronald Dworkin attempt to back up the claim that it is. Throughout this paper, I will analyze Dworkin’s argument by first stating it, then evaluating it, and finally responding to it. Ultimately, I will show that Dworkin may be right, but I still believe using race as a factor does…

They argue that affirmative action is looking for a solution to a problem that no longer exists, we live in an age where all are treated equal and it is…

Objective: We started by isolating a DNA plasmid from a bacterial culture for cloning. Then, we reverse transcribed mRNA to amplify it in a polymerase chain reaction. Finally, we amplified a specific gene (actin) through PCR. Protocol: A. Isolation of Plasmid DNA from a Bacterial Culture: We were provided with a tube containing 1 ml of bacterial culture. We centrifuged it for 5 minutes at 10000 g. Then, we removed the supernatant by pouring it off and we used a small chem wipe to remove any…

BigDye® Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit provides everything we need in order to generate a sequence all we need to do is add one primer and the DNA template. These reagents are suitable for performing fluorescence-based cycle sequencing reactions on single-stranded or double-stranded DNA templates, on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments, and on large templates. First, you must prepare your template by performing a DNA extraction and purifying your template. The purification will be…
