Transcript of Timeline of Educational Reform. U.S. Supreme Court announces its decision in the case of Brown v. Board. of Education of Topeka, ruling that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal, thus overturning its previous ruling in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson.
The antiparallel structure of DNA is important in DNA replication because it replicates the leading strand one way and the lagging strand the other way. During DNA replication the leading strand is replicated continuously whereas the lagging strand is replicated in segments known as Okazaki fragments.
It can also help establish where two specimens of DNA match, thus allowing identification of the same DNA profile to be made for legal reasons. Whilst DNA is important biologically, it is also becoming an increasing factor in our everyday lives, with immigration processes, the police and the judicial system all relying on formal DNA testing as part of their fact-finding procedures.
