25 views7 pages
Document Summary
99. 9% of human genome identical among homo sapiens. Only portions of dna unique to the individual. Tandem repeats: segments of dna that are repeated a variable number of times. All cells of living organisms contain dna (code is universal) Every cell of an organism has the same exact dna. Human cells contain two types of dna; nuclear and mitochondrial. Mitochondria: structure found in all cells used to provide energy to our bodies. Composed of a sugar, phosphorous-containing group, and a nitrogen containing molecule called a base. Adenine (a), guanine (g), cytosine (c), and thymine (t) Double helix: two strands wrapped around each other. Complementary base pairing: bases on each pair matched at, gc. Polymerase chain reaction (pcr) testing: replicate small quantites of small amounts/broken dna found @ crime scene/outside living cell. Dna polymerase and free nucleotides added to rebuild separated strand i. i. Primer: short dna strands that target specific regions for replication.
