DNA Technology and Genomics

Hello all,  I hope you are doing well and keeping positive during the current situation.  This will be the last assignment. There are just three short videos for you to view. I will respond via this blog after hearing the update from the district.  

Next week is the official Spring Break.

The application of the material you studied during the unit of genetic is important.  You have seen an example like the Sixty minutes video on sickle cell shown in class how the technology is changing lives.

It is important to finish the unit by showing you some real life application. These examples are taken from the topics in Chapter 12 of the textbook.

Viewing the video links provided will help with the understanding of the tremendous application of the DNA technology.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) : is a technique by which a specific segment of a DNA molecule can be targeted and amplified ( copied in quantity) in a lab.

 Modern DNA technology methods have rapidly transformed the field of forensics, the scientific analysis of evidence for crime scene investigation and other legal proceedings.

DNA Profiling, the analysis of DNA samples to determine whether they came from the same individuals.

This lesson will replace the Genetic Research Presentations.
Write a few sentences to explain the topic of each video.

Remember, attitude makes the difference between an adventure and an ordeal.  Stay positive and think creatively during this period. Have a good Spring Break.
