Jeffrey Meyer Instructor: Laura Pearn M.S. J.D. Criminalistics 21 November 2017 The way people behave to one another has always been an important subject to society throughout history. Like why one may kill another human being over something petty or steal something that doesn’t belong to them. So as a society we have come up with ways in trying to keep order on when these incidents happen and how to fairly punish someone when they go against these rules society has created. When someone breaks…

cleavage? Why doesn’t DNase work on RNA? - What DNase does is denature in DNA proteins and leaves any RNA intact. It cleaves specifically at DNase hypersensitive sites. DNase doesn’t work on RNA because DNA and RNA are two different things and DNase will not denature RNA due to it having different properties. 2. Why is it important to remove DNA contamination? - It is important to remove any DNA contamination to make sure you don’t have any false amplification of your sample. Any DNA that is left…

Investigation DNA has become crucial in forensics and in the solving of major crimes. Give a background to DNA and explain why it has become so important in crime scene investigations. Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is molecule that carries the genetic code of organisms. DNA is in each cell in organisms and tells the cells what proteins to make. DNA has the blueprint essential for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. Almost every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. DNA is found inside…

of electrons between two atoms H + H = H2 Metallic Because no one atom in a metal sample has a strong hold on its electrons and shares them with its neighbors, we say that they are bonded Zn+ Zn= 2Zn 5) Why is pH important in Anatomy? In anatomy, pH isn’t actually that important. In Physiology, however, it is essential because the body must maintain a careful pH balance in order from the organs to work. 6.9) Name the 4 main Organic Molecules in Biochemistry. Describe each one, and provide…

DNA DISCOVERY Who was Rosalind Franklin, what did she discover and how did she discover it? Rosalind franklin was a Pioneer Molecular Biologist which discovered the discovery of DNA structure helped her co-workers understand how genetic information passes from parents to their offspring. Rosalind also discovered the double helix by a process called x-ray crystallography. X-ray crystallography is a tool used for identifying the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline…

the negative side of one polar molecule meets the positive side of another polar molecule. The bonds are similar because they all involve the smallest unit of matter, atoms, and they all focus on the valence electrons. 5) Why is pH important in Anatomy? pH is important to anatomy because our bodies have to function at a stable pH. Many tasks cannot be performed if our body fluids are to acidic or to basic. 6-9) Name the 4 main Organic Molecules in Biochemistry. Describe each one, and…

QUICK LAB MODELING Replication Use two zipping plastic bags to model how complementary strands of DNA attach to template strands during replication. PROCEDURE MATERIALS • 2 zipping bags • scissors 1. Cut the sliding zippers off both bags. One zipper represents the template strands of a DNA molecule. 2. Cut the other zipper into four smaller pieces and unzip each of them. These represent free nucleotides. Don’t worry about which nucleotide is which in this activity. 3. Use the pieces to model…

the genetic information is encoded is DNA and not protein or carbohydrate. Hershey and Chase- Identified the double helix structure Discovered the difference between DNA and RNA Identified DNA as the transforming factor Identified proteins as the transforming factor Rosalind Franklin-She's the one that spotted DNA first, but Watson and Crick expanded her idea and got through where we know today about DNA. Reason why she isn't really that important back then is because females are minorities…
