Wednesday, April 13th

We bridged the gap today between the presentations of 12-1 and the DNA extraction lab that we will be doing on Thursday with some background lecture. Over the background lecture we covered the following information: 1) Why scientists were intrigued by the structure of DNA 2) Components of a nucleotide 3) Structure of DNA -bases, base pairing, hydrogen bonding 4) Number of base pairs in the human genome
