Make Up of DNA
DNA stands for this.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
Process of determining an individual's DNA characteristics.
What is DNA profiling?
They discovered the structure of DNA.
Who is Watson and Crick?
DNA is usually found here in living organisms.
What is the Nucleus?
DNA is made of these.
What are nucleotides?
Used in genetic genealogy that looks at specific locations of a person's genome in order to find or verify ancestral genealogical relationships.
What is autosomal DNA testing?
He initially discovered DNA.
Who is Fredrich Miescher?
DNA contains this information.
What is our genetic "code" or "makeup"?
Nucleotides contain these.
What is a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base?
Uncovers a male's Y-chromosome haplogroup, the ancient group of people from whom one's patrilineage descends.
What is Y-DNA testing?
DNA originated from this.
What is RNA?
Other than DNA, this material has the power to contain genetic information used to replicate proteins.
What is RNA?
DNA’s sugar is 2’-deoxyribose, which means it has no ____ group attached in contrast to RNA, which does not have the reduced 2’ position on its sugar reduced.
What is the hydroxyl group?
Uncovers a one's mtDNA haplogroup, the ancient group of people from whom one's matrilineage descends.
What is mtDNA testing?
In 1881, this person gave DNA its name while also isolating the 5 nitrogen bases (A,G,T,C and U).
Who is Albrecht Kossel?
Do to the high volume of DNA in a cell, and the high volume of cells in an organism, DNA must be tightly packaged in a form called...?
What are chromosomes?
Amount of DNA in a cell.
What is about 6pg?
Method that determines the order of the four nucleotides bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) that make up the DNA molecule and convey important genetic information. Some processes can examine billions of templates of DNA and RNA and simultaneously detect variable methylations without bias.
What is DNA sequencing?
In 1973, UCSF and Stanford scientists came together to accomplish an experiment never done been called...?
What is the first animal gene cloning?
DNA evolved to be the blueprint of "life as we know it" because...
DNA discovery is only 200 years old, so we do not have an understanding of what it could be, only what it is now: the genetic makeup for living organisms and how we individuals are unique, but also so similar.
