Jordon+T.

flat =About Me= My name is Jordan. I am kind of shy. I like to draw, play basketball, and hang out with my friends. I am in Art. My favorite color is purple. There are to many foods in the world to choose a favorite but the first food that i think of is sandwiches that my uncle makes. My favorite animal would have to be dogs because they are mans best friend. I go on vacation every other year to the beach. My friends and I like to hang out in town a lot. I couldn't live without my cell phone because i need to be able to contact my friends. I couldn't live without my friends.

=Live Oak= I did the Live Oak tree. The scientific name of the Live Oak is Quercuz Virginia. It is deciduous, which means the leaves change color and fall. The leaves on the Live Oak are smooth. The leaves are simple, which means they don't have leaflets. The leaves are alternate, which means they aren't right across from each other on the branches.Some of the characteristics of the leaf are stiff and leathery, tops are shiny, bottoms are pal. Live Oak can be used for fame work of ships.The Live Oak is related to the evergreen oak.

=Basswood= I did the Basswood tree. Its scientific name is Tilia americana. It is a deciduous tree meaning the leaves change color and fall. On the tree, the leaves are simple. That means they are one leaf and don't have leaflets. On the branches, the leaves are alternated. The leaves are dark green, smooth on top, shiny above, and paler underneath. They are coarsely serrated. The flowers, leaves, wood, and charcoal from the tree are used for medical purposes. The Basswood is also related to the Tilia cordata.

Hypothesis:
I thought that the milk would have protein, fat, and simple sugars.

Milk
(Benedict) Simple Sugar- negative (Iodine) Starch- negative (Biuret) Protein- positive (Sudan IV) Fat- Positive

Analysis
1. I tested the milk. When I tested it for simple sugar, the benedict in the mild didn’t change colors so it was negative. It also tested negative for starch. I used the Sudan IV test to show that milk tested positive for fats and oils. Last, I used the Biuret test to show that milk tested positive for proteins. The potato was also tested. It tested negative for protein. When it was tested it was tested positive for starch. It had no fat and no simple sugar.

2. I found that the vegetables don’t have any simple sugars or proteins and just have fat and starch in them. The meats only have fat and proteins and not starch or simple sugars. Dairy products only have protein and fat. They don’t have simple sugar or starch. I found that egg whites and egg yokes are different. Egg whites have only protein and not simple sugar, starch, or fat. Egg yokes have starch, fat, simple sugar, and protein.


 * 3. || ** Vegetables ** || ** Meats ** || ** Dairy ** || ** Egg whites ** || ** Fruits ** || ** Egg yokes ** ||
 * ** Simple Sugar ** || Negative || Negative || Negative || Negative || Positive || Positive ||
 * ** Starch ** || Positive || Negative || Negative || Negative || Negative || Positive ||
 * ** Fat ** || Positive || Positive || Positive || Negative || Negative || Positive ||
 * ** Protein ** || Negative || Positive || Positive || Positive || Negative || Positive ||

4. I was surprised to find that egg yokes are positive everything. A lot of the food that were tested weren’t positive in everything but it was different and was positive. I just thought that the egg yokes would have just protein.

5. In the research I found that vegetables have been positive for protein and simple sugar. The meat is correct in the chart. The milk under the dairy section should have been positive for simple sugar. Egg whites should have been positive for simple sugar. Finally, I found that the egg yokes should have been negative for starch. Fruits should have been positive for starch.

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?


 * Our group members did NOT have the same extraction results because not everyone followed the procedure exactly correctly. Doing the procedure wrong caused it to mix while it shouldn't have. That caused it to have a different ending result. Eating could affect our DNA result by making you pick up DNA from food.

=DNA Replication Summary =

The double strand of DNA is like a ladder. The DNA is broken by the helicase, which makes it look like a fork shape. The single stranded binding proteins keep the DNA strand from coming back together. They are like wedges that keep it from moving. The top strand is called the leading strand and the bottom is called the lagging strand. Primase is an enzyme that attaches to the leading strand that gives a starting point. The polymerase begins the replication like a copy machine. The lagging strand is more complex. The primase gives another starting point. The polymerase makes a short copy, which are in fragments. The fragments are called Okazaki fragments. In between the fragments is DNA ligase. The ligase is an enzyme that fills the gap to make it a continuous strand. That is the Replication of DNA.
