What are the main types of fingerprints?
Loops, arches, and whorls
100
What is the shape of DNA called?
Double Helix
100
What is the purpose of PCR?
To make millions and billions of copies of the same DNA sequence.
100
Which direction does DNA run?
Negative to Positive

What are the three parts of hair (though some people only have two!)
Cuticle, Cortex, and Medulla
200
What are the building blocks of DNA called?
Nucleotides
200
What does PCR stand for?
Polymerase Chain Reaction
200
Why do DNA bands separate when they go through a gel? What type of DNA do we find closer the negative side?
Because of their size; larger DNA fragments
200
Depressed, widowed father teams up with unlikely woman with a "short issue" to find his son.
Finding Nemo
300
What is blood type shown:
AB-
300
What makes up the "backbone" of DNA?
Phosphate and Sugar
300
What is the enzyme that is used in PCR for make the DNA copy?
TAQ Polymerase
300
What are the things that cut up DNA at specific locations? Where do we get these things from?
Restriction enzyme; Bacteria
300
Talking green "frog" convinces son to kill his dad.
Star Wars
400
Type A and Type B blood can be given to Type AB but why can't Type AB be given to Type A or Type B? Be specific!
Because Type AB lacks the anit-bodies that would or attack Type A or B red blood cells. However, Type A has B anti-bodies and Types B has A anti-bodies that would attack AB red blood cells and cause red blood cells to clump and die.
400
Which bases are considered purines and which bases are considered pyrimidines? Also, what is the difference between and pruine and a pyrimidine?
Purines- Adenine and Guanine; they have two-ring sugars
Pyrimidines- Thymine and Cytosine; they have one-ring sugars
400
What is the name of the machine where PCR happens and simply put...what does it do to help the process of PCR happen?
Thermocycler and it raises and lowers the temperature.
400
What are the two types of "ends" that are made when DNA is cut?
Blunt and Sticky ends
400
A group of friends spend about a year returning a piece of jewlery.

500
What are the dependent and independent variable in the following scenario:
Ari and Elyse were playing basketball after school. They noticed that one of their basketballs has lower air pressure compared to the other. They decide to do an experiment to test if the difference in air pressure affects their free throw shooting percentage.
Independent: Air pressure in basketball
Dependent: Free throw shooting percentage
500
If a DNA strand is made of 15% Thymine, how much Guanine is there?
35%
15% T + 15% A= 30%
100%-30%= 70%/2= 35% G and C
500
What are the three steps (I need specific names) and what are quick descriptions of what happens during each step?
Denaturation- DNA Strand separates
Annealing- Primers are added to the separated strands
Extension- TAQ Polymerase finds primers and adds nucleotides to make DNA copies
500
Which two have the same DNA?
3 & 7
