Gel electrophoresis is a procedure which sorts molecules based on size and charge. The gel in gel electrophoresis refers to the object that separates the molecules. Electrophoreses refers to the force that is used to move the molecules through the gel. There are 2 stages to gel electrophoresis‚ separation and visualization. During separation the gel matrix is placed in an electrophoresis machine. An electric current is run through the machine and the different sized molecules form bands on the gel

DNA replication mechanism is an integral and the most important part of cell division. It is a complicated mechanism that requires a lot of steps and different enzymes. Many scientists were trying to understand the mechanism of DNA replication and its role in the transfer of the hereditary information to the offsprings. DNA replication begins with a single origin of replication that starts off the process by creating a replication bubble. In many eukaryotic cells‚ the DNA strand will have more than

TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases‚ Transcription is located in the Nucleus‚ and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA‚ and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus‚ mRNA is also made through Transcription‚ It also takes information that doesn’t directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins‚ DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases‚ Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine‚ Guanine

What is gel electrophoresis? Gel electrophoresis is a technique that separates pieces of DNA (or other biological molecules) by size. Pieces of DNA in a test tube all look the same. DNA Gel Electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis separates pieces of DNA by size so that researchers can further analyze them BURST Training Session November 29‚ 2005 Once the DNA samples are loaded onto the gel‚ an electric current is applied to the gel. DNA is negatively charged due to all the phosphate groups in the

Gel electrophoresis is a routine laboratory procedure in biochemical studies that takes advantage of a protein’s amphoteric nature to determine its molecular weight and charge by running the sample through a gel matrix under the influence of an electrically charged field. A popular example of gel electrophoresis is Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis or SDS- PAGE which has been used in this experiment to supposedly determine albumin and casein’s molecular weights respectively.

The investigation on the average mass of DNA with the mass of banana‚ strawberry and kiwi. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the comparison between the amount of DNA per gram of fruit that can be extracted from a banana‚ strawberry and kiwi and to determine which one has more DNA. Hypothesis: The banana genome contains 837 MBPs and the strawberry genome contains 206 MBPs and the kiwi genome contains 128 MBPs. This states that there are more base pairs in a banana genome

EXTRACTING AND PURIFYING GENOMIC DNA FROM A RAT LIVER FOR ELECTROPHORESIS Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Along with RNA and proteins‚ DNA is one of the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Genomic DNA is the DNA that holds the complete set of genetic data for an organism. In humans‚ the genomic DNA spans 46 chromosomes‚ providing a complete

Module 2 Section 2 EXPERIMENT: DNA & Protein Synthesis Exercise 1 – Modeling DNA 1. List the four bases which are found in DNA. (1 pt) The four bases found in DNA are cytosine‚ adenine‚ guanine and thymine. 2. Fit any six nucleotides together to form a row‚ then list the six nucleotides in the order you used them. Work with your model pieces and try fitting the bases together to make a double strand as shown in Figure 9 of the lab manual. Which nucleotides form

extract DNA from a strawberry using limited household items. This was accomplished with the prior knowledge that the DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell‚ and that is an extraction buffer would be needed to acquire the DNA. This experiment had no control group‚ however‚ if there was a control group it might be a group with no extraction buffer. The independent variable in this experiment is the extraction buffer. The dependent variable in this experiment is the ability to extract DNA. The constants
