Disease” As you read, answer conclusion questions 1-8. As time allows, investigate disease on the HOPES website. Huntington’s How is DNA isolated? DNA is often described as the of it determines an “code life” because organism’s characteristics and is passed from one generation to the next. DNA is located in almost every cell of your body. The length of DNA is about 100,000 times as long as the cell itself. However, it fits into the nucleus, which takes up only about 10% of the cell’s volume by folding around proteins and compacting into chromosomes. Answer the questions below as your teacher reviews the structure of DNA. What are the base pairs? What molecule is encoded by genes? Describe the basic structure of DNA. What is a histone? How many chromosomes do human beings have? Label the image below: Describe the three steps involved in precipitating and isolating DNA from cheek cells as your teacher continues the presentation. Collect cheek cells
