DNA in General
The Four Bases of DNA
Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, Thymine
These two scientists found DNA structure with Model Building
James Watson and Francis Circk
PCR stands for
Polymerase Chain Reaction
The percent DNA differs from person to person
0.4%
Erwin Chargaff discovered this about the ratio of A/T to C/G
They are the same percentage, differing among species
It takes this amount of time for PCR to complete
A short ammount of time
30 minutes - 5 hours (?)
Ammount of Nucleotides?
4
Maurice Wilkins found groundbreaking discoveries on DNA after stealing information from this scientist
Rosalind Franklin
PCR has three repeated steps which are these
Denaturation, Annealing, Extention
The three components of a nucleotide
Deoxyribose - Sugar
Nitrogeneuos Base
Phosphatic Group
X-ray crystallography helped scientists discover this about DNA's shape
Helix Shape
The thermocycler does this during the Annealing process
Raise and Lower the tempuratures
DNA's full legal name
Deyoxyribonucleic acid
X-ray crystallography found These two things inside of DNA
Phosphates and Sugars
The third step, extension, does this
Adds new complemetnery bases to build new DNA strands
