=DNA Cheek Cell Lab= 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? Yes, everyone in our group had about the same extraction results. We both noticed that only a tiny bit of DNA was extracted. I would assume we had about the same amount because we were both scraping cheek cells for the same amount of time. The amount of DNA that I extracted could be affected by the types of food I eat.

=DNA Summary = In the first step of DNA Replication, the hydrogen bonds have to break. The enzyme Helicase has to unwind. Next, single stranded binding proteins keep the strands from coming apart. This happens in the replication fork. Then, an enzyme called Primase gives off a starting for the leading strand. It creates a polymerase. The polymerase replicates the rest of DNA. = = =DNA Vocabulary Infographic =
