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.
DNA supercoiling is important for DNA packaging within all cells. Because the length of DNA can be thousands of times that of a cell, packaging this genetic material into the cell or nucleus (in eukaryotes) is a difficult feat. Supercoiling of DNA reduces the space and allows for a lot more DNA to be packaged.
