toc =DNA Homework Question= Did everyone in your group have about the same extraction results? Why is this the case? How is the amount of DNA that you extracted affected by your day to day activities?

Not everyone in our group have about the same extraction results. This could be because there wasn’t enough DNA in the testing tube, they did the testing incorrectly, or their DNA sizes differentiated.The amount of DNA that was extracted could have been affected by day to day activities because the foods you eat can cause different amounts of clumped DNA, and if the cheek was torn up. =DNA Infographic= =DNA Replication Steps = The first step of Replication has to do with breaking the hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds connect two bases together. The enzyme helicase comes in and breaks the hydrogen bonds apart. An enzyme is a structure that builds and destroys matter depending on what they do and what they do it to. The second step of Replication has to do with single stranded binding proteins attaching to the DNA strands. They stabilize the DNA The third step of Replication has to do with attaching a primase. This creates an RNA Primer equal to the parents DNA and creates an Okazaki fragment. The fourth step of Replication has to do with attaching a polymerase. This enzyme creates deoxyribonucleotides and makes a starting point to DNA replication.
