    • 2 Pages

    mutations such as adding or deleting a letter in a DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, sequence may dramatically change the health of an organism. Mutations are changes of the DNA in an organism's DNA sequence. There are three main kinds of mutations, substitution, deletion, and insertion. Substitution many times is the least fatal because only a specific letter changes so only the amino acid of the letter is affected. Deletion is when a letter is removed from a DNA sequence, this change usually affects all amino

    • 2 Pages

    When finding the identity of the missing person from the DNA from the skeleton, the DNA was compared to the two individuals who were suspected to be the missing person. The DNA from the two individuals who were linked to the skeleton: Missing person #1 and Missing person #2 were then analyzed. The first part in finding the DNA was DNA digestion with restriction enzymes. That’s when 4 DNA samples, the DNA of person #1 and #2 that were treated with two different restriction enzymes, were taken and

    I’m going to tell you about how DNA makes gene’s in the human body. A gene is made up of different sequences of DNA. That gene is translated into protein production information. A DNA molecule is formed into a spiral, or a double helix. The DNA has a backbone that looks like a railing for the spiral and it’s made up of phosphates and suger’s. Through hydrogen bonds the spiral is sealed together. A protein is like a chain that’s folded of acid’s in a specific order, only 20 amino acids exist. A function

    In this study, we describe DNA methylation and gene expression of SLC22A1, SLC22A3, and SLC47A1, which respectively encode the three metformin transporters OCT1, OCT3, and MATE1, in the human liver. In agreement with a previous study where OCT1 was found to be the most expressed drug transporter in the liver [15], we found higher mRNA expression of SLC22A1 than SLC22A3 (Additional file 1: Figure S2A). SLC47A1 was also highly expressed in the liver, as previously reported [16]. Metformin transporter

    lab assistants tested suspects 2 and 3, and suspect 3 was the one who committed the crime. When looking at the DNA test, suspect 3’s DNA matched up almost perfectly, while the suspect’s DNA I tested (1 and 4) did not match up, and were not in the same location. The bands in the DNA test between the crime scene and the suspect 3 matched up almost perfectly. When looking at the crime scene DNA, the distances were 21mm, 23mm, and 31 mm, and when looking at suspect 3, the distances were 21, 23, and 30.
