When an organism grows, repairs itself, reproduces or replaces old cells, new cells need to be made. Every new cell needs its own copy of the genetic code.

Harlem Children Society Stacia Semple - Midwood HS Kimberly Small - George Washington Carver HS New York University Dr. Todd Disotell / Kirstin Sterner Understanding Primate Evolution Using Genetic Methods

DNA is a double stranded helix. The full name for DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid

DNA can replicate itself.

Template melted into two strands by high heat –> 90 degrees C Primers anneal to both strands Polymerase makes a copy of both strands PCR

Temperature raised to melt newly made DNA Primers allowed to anneal as temperature drops Polymerase elongates new second strand of DNA Process repeated Exponential increase in DNA

Summary of chain termination sequencing

? ? Old World Monkeys are from Africa and Asia. Researchers are trying to place these genera properly onto the primate family tree.
