| − | + | The equation to the left is the simplest model possible to model cell growth and just displays an exponential increase in cells with respect to time. This is a bad model because E.coli has an upper limit to the number of cells that can survive in a given location before they begin to fight for the same resources and some will die. | |
<br> | <br> | ||
| − | + | The equation on the right is the Gompertz function which is similar to the first model expect the growth of the cells decreases as the number of cells reaches a limit. This is a much better model as it takes into account the upper limit of cell concentration possible in a given volume. | |

This shows how the DNA strands come together. Three double stranded strings of DNA are denatured and then when slowly cooled will come together to form the Y shape. However after the denaturing each strand of DNA has an equal chance of bonding to the original piece of DNA as it does to the correct origami side. Therefore the more complex the structure the less likely it is that that structure will fully form.
