Yes, everyone in my group has had about the same extraction result, because everyone has the same amount of DNA. How the amount of DNA that’s extracted affected by my day to day activities is that when you do certain things more DNA can be extracted. ======

= DNA =

Adenines go with thymine to make bonds. Cytosine goes with guanine to make the other bonds. But when adenine goes with guanine they make purines, which have two rings. When thymine goes with cytosine they make pyrimidine. Which only has one ring. The steps of replication are: step one: the helicase bonds break apart DNA. Step two: single stranded bindings keep bonds from coming together. Step three: primase binds, forms a starting point. Step four: polymerase binds, replacing DNA. The helicase is enzymes that break apart hydrogen bonds in the DNA. Leading strands are enzymes that give a starting point. Lagging strand- Okazaki fragments. Lagasse is enzymes that join Okazaki fragments.
