Arabidopsis Genotype Lab Report

Introduction- Greta
Arabidopsis is a plant commonly used in genotype tests. They display qualities that make them convenient for altering their genes without a lot of trouble. Consequently, there are several different genotypes of Arabidopsis. However, it is rather hard to test exactly what the genotypes do to the plants without some sort of stress being placed on them. This is a record of the experiments produced and their results. These experiments were important due to their nature- many genetic anomalies or mutations are a result of changes in the genotype, resulting in an altered phenotype. These experiments help clarify and reveal several things about the universal gene code and what we still can learn about natural selection.

Methods- Mahala
The experiment required the seeds of nine different arabidopsis genotypes. These are Sos-1, Ws-2, Col-0, Abi5-1, Santa Clara, Lov-1, Ler-1, and Chs1-2. Along with that, there were pots, soil, and fertilizer required for the planting. For the four different stresses, a fridge, a heavy metal solution, and a salt solution where required. The fourth stress, drought, only required that you didn’t water it.
To deal with salt stress, Sos-1, Ws-2,

The only week which the WS-2 treated plant thrived over the control plant was during week 3. During that week the Average measurement of the leaf length for the treated plant was 49 millimeters and the average measurement of the leaf length for the control plant was 46.75 millimeters. However that did not last long because in week 4 the tables completely turned in favor of the control plant. The average measurement of the leaf length for the control plant was 51.75 millimeters and the treated plant is was only a small 44.5 millimeters. At week 4, there was a decline in the length of the leaves and the color of the which leads to the fact of the plant starting to

    Pinto beans or in other words common beans are the most abundant beans in both Americans, making it major source of daily nutrients for large number of civilians. This experiment was done to examine if the number of seeds used in a specific area would affect the growth process using two pots (Control, Experiment). Control pot had two Pinto beans, while the Experiment pot had four seeds. Both pots were placed in the same room with same amount of water supply and light.…

    In order to exam the effects of auxin, gibberellins and abscisic acid on plant growth we generated an experiment to track the growth, specifically height of a corn seed. To begin, obtain two small planters, each with six individual compartments. Label one planter A and the other B. On the outside of the two small planters label five of the six compartments IAA, NAA, GA, ABA, and Control. The sixth compartment will not be used.…

    ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab is to describe possible genotypes of corn and plants in procedure 17.2, and find their color and height ratio; in procedure 17.3 codominance will be observed in human blood, and the blood types of unknown samples will be determined. In procedure 17.4, Rh positive and Rh negative will be tested for in blood samples. A unit of heredity on a chromosome is called a gene.…

    The control groups are the amount of water(30ml), the type of soil(Miracle Grow), and the amount of lighting. To be able to conduct this experiment we had to plant a seed. The plant was watered and got lighting too. The third plant didn't start to grow until the seventh day, and the second…

    In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that a group of pea plants without treatment of auxin would have the most lateral bud growth, the 500 ppm group treated with auxin would have little bud growth, and the 5,000 ppm group treated with auxin wouldn’t have any growth. The significance of these numbers was then determined by the use of a Wilcoxon test. The control group showed to be significantly…

    The remaining groups performed the same procedure as groups two and three making soils with 0.75, 0.37, 0.18, 0.09, and 0.045 percent sodium chloride concentrations. Each of the six groups created two samples either two samples of various salt concentrations or a salt concentration and a control with a zero percent sodium chloride concentration in the soil. Once all the groups created the correct soil concentrations, they placed each soil concentration into four small, Styrofoam wells. In each well the groups placed two seeds, Wisconsin Fast Plants, into each well. They then covered the seeds in extra soil of the correct sodium chloride concentration.…

    In 1886 a monk named Mendel began his studies on pea plants (J. Brooker, 18). His work suggests that there is one trait that is dominant over another, this other one being recessive. These traits are contained within chromosomes, which can be either autosomal or sex chromosomes (J. Brooker, 64). I hypothesized that the mode of inheritance for the eyeless mutation would be autosomal recessive because it is most common in any…

    First, Brody highlights some effects of environmental degradation such as the difference in salt content in soil and drought. For example, the habitats of plants have changed so much that it delays their natural rate of growth (“Fears, Not Facts …”). However, she further describes that such conditions play no effect in G.M.O. crops because they contain devised characteristics of tolerance that ensure them to have a higher probability of long life and, thus, a better chance in a large production of food products. This is effective because Brody introduces some major environmental problems and its inevitable effect on plants. However, the author discusses how G.M.O. crops are different and not affected by such problems.…

    Purpose: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how alleles work and practice the skill of figuring out what genotype is dominate based off of the phenotype of the offsprings. Background info: Fruit flies or Drosophila melanogaster work best in experiments because Drosophila melanogaster has 60% of genes that are mutated, amplified, or deleted in human diseases. Drosophila melanogaster also has a short lifespan which makes them best for quick experiments. They also mate and develop quickly, making it easier to study the offsprings. Drosophila melanogaster also have distinguishable characteristics that make telling the differences and similarities easier to see.…

    It is interesting to notice that some genes showing major effects on seed size/weight in Arabidopsis, such as ISE2/EMB25, MINI3, IKU1, IKU2, TTG2 and KLU. For example KLU expression in a growth signal that moves throughout the inner and outer, where it stimulates cell proliferation. The cell number in the integuments of the mature ovule. As the embryo develops, the seed coat acts as a physical constraint on the embryo grows, thus ultimately providing an upper limit to the final seed size [75]. While among candidate genes, there was only one gene, ISE2/EMB25 was identified in the major QTLs (TSWA7-4) regulate embryonic development, suggesting that the QTLs may represent determinants for seed weight in amphidiploid B. napus.…

    There’s a little bit of background information to know about the Brassica lab, in order to fully understand what is being tested and the mechanisms behind it. There are questions that need to be asked such as: why use Wisconsin fast plants, what gamma radiation does to organisms on a molecular level, and even what it does to organisms on a physical level. Why did we use Wisconsin fast plants for this experiment? Wisconsin fast plants are more formally known as Brassica Rapa and are rapid cycling plants. They have a life cycle, from seed to seed, of about 60 days.…

    A hybrid is made when two different varieties of a plant are cross-pollinated to produce offspring. It was believed that the traits were a combination from both parents, and overtime a hybrid would go back to its original form “Gregor Mendel.” There was not enough time for the experiments, so the results were often not accurate. “Mendel used peas for his experiments because there were so many varieties, and their offspring could be quickly and easily produced.” He cross-fertilized pea plants with different characteristics.…

    Introduction Finally, a warm day after a harsh winter, so what can you expect, all the ice/snow melting and flowing into our drains or into our grass, soil, and plants (Gould, 2013). Alongside with the ice/snow melting away into our environments so is that salt that was previously used to treat the roads (Gould, 2013). Roadside vegetation can become injured or die to due to the runoff from the treated pavements (Gould, 2013). The salt used for treated pavements is usually chloride-based and is applied to roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and highways to melt ice and snow to ensure safety for pedestrians as well as motorists (Gould, 2013).…
