Function and Location of the obicularis oris, obicularis oculi and temporalis

A

obicularis oris - located around your lips and helps you kiss
obicularis oculi - located around your eye and helps you blink

16
Q

Conversion of CM to Feet

A

2.54 CM = 1 inch

17
Q

Bone used to determine gender? how do males and females differ?

A

Pelvis is used to determine gender (females more round and males are V or Heart shaped)

18
Q

Where do restriction enzymes come from?

A

Restriction enzymes are found naturally in bacteria

19
Q

Why do they have restriction enzymes?

A

They can be used to cut foreign DNA fragments in specific places

20
Q

How do restriction enzymes get their name?

A

Restriction enzymes are named for the bacteria from which they’re isolated

21
Q

What location do restriction enzymes cut?

A

They cut a specific combination or sequence of nucleotides

22
Q

What is a palindrome?

A

word or sequence that reads the same in either direction

23
Q

What is RFLP? (restriction fragment length polymorphism)

A

A collection of DNA fragments of precisely defined length

24
Q

What is PCR (polymorph chain reaction) and why do we use it?

A

Polymorph Chain Reaction amplifies DNA found at crime scenes into billions of copies to which makes identifying the culprit easier

25
Q

What do gel electrophoresis fragments represent?

A

They represent a pattern called DNA fingerprint

26
Q

How are fragments separated?

A

They’re separated by size

27
Q

How does the DNA move?

A

DNA is negatively charged and moves towards the positive end (opposites attract)

28
Q

Types of biometrics and how they work

A

Fingerprints - use of ridges and furrows of the fingerprint to gain entry and access
Voice Recognition - they use the sound, pattern, rhythm, numerical score and conjunction to gain access
Face - they use nodal points to gain access
eyes - they use the retinal by measuring blood vessels in the back of the eye and they use iris scans to determine ridge patterns on your eyes
DNA - Using blood, saliva, skin or hair samples the length and protein sequence generates a DNA profile
