1. Hoe effective is the ALU method in detecting the difference among the racial diversity in humans?

2. Our research will show that the ALU method will offer a good guess of one’s race through genetics. Yet, due to human diversity, the method will not be 100 percent accurate.

3. Why is it important to look at polymorphisms in different gene pools from different places of origin? Can find disease that are more prone to one gene pool. ex: Cystic Fibrosis, Different drugs can be more useful to certain gene pools than others. ex: Angiotensin-Converting-enzyme

4. There is no such thing as race!

5. What is a Polymorphism? He has Black skin He has black hair He he thick eyebrows He has white skin He has grey hair He has thin eyebrows

6. The ALU Polymorphism The ALU allele is located all through out the DNA. The location in which people have it is different.

7. The ALU Allele DOES NOT CODE FOR ANYTHING! ALU is in the part of our DNA called “waste” Does not code for protein Found be scientist to have a pattern between groups of people from different origin.

8. Becomes apart of LI during meiosis. The ALU sequence then has a different placement in the DNA. Placement random? The reason that the ALU allele can be in different base pairs is because it has the ability to jump and move spots How the ALU Sequence jumps

9. What is a Gel? The gel is what we place the DNA in so it is organized and we can read it later on. It allows the DNA move which Is how your read it.

10. What is a Gel? The gel is what we place the DNA in so it is organized and we can read it later on. It allows the DNA move which Is how your read it.

11. What is a Gel? The gel is what we place the DNA in so it is organized and we can read it later on. It allows the DNA move which Is how your read it.

12. How to read the results Move through the electrophoresis by size, the smaller pieces can move father. One row is for 416 and the other is for the 731.

13. What it means? +/+ +/- -/-

14. Methods:How to test for the gene Get hair/cheek cells from subjects

15. Methods:How to test for the gene Extract DNA

16. Methods:How to test for the gene Copy in PCR

17. Methods:How to test for the gene Dye Samples

18. Methods:How to test for the gene Load Gels

19. Methods:How to test for the gene Turn on the Electrophoresis

20. Why our experiment failed! Unsanitary conditions Did not extract good samples Resources were to old

21. What is a Database?

22. How to read the Results

23. Results:

29. What do these results mean? The original hypothesis is accurately supported by the analysis of our results.

30. Europeans People who came from Europe, 67% of them do not have the ALU allele on either of the 731 base pair or the 416 th base pair.

31. Northern Americans/Africans 57% of Northern Americans and 60% of Africans, did not have the ALU allele of either of their base pairs

32. Could we find a Criminal?

33. Flaws with the Database The people tested on it were of mostly European decent. There were very little mixed races

34. Connection to medicine This experiment supports the scientists who emphasized that using race to modify drugs has not been a proven technique

35. Connection to new scientific research
