1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Figure 2 RFLP analysis of the ABO genotype of unknown N on agarose gel. Well 1 was blank, well 2 was 100bp ladder, well 3-6 were restriction enzyme digested PCR products, in which, well 3 was Kpn I, well 4 was BstE II, well 5 was Nar I and well 6 was BssH II. Size of base pair was showed in well 1 for measurement. Number of fragment in this result was 3 3 3 3. The fragment size in well 3 and 4 were about 70-80bp, 160-170bp and230-240bp. Well 5 and 6 were about 150-160bp, 260-270bp and 410-420bp.

    Odds ratios (ORs) for this model with the corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were computed. Allele frequencies were assessed by counting alleles and calculating sample proportions. The allelic frequency distributions in the control and case groups were compared by the Pearson chi-squared test. In each group the allele distribution was checked for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using an exact test. The haplotypic association between the genes was constructed with the help of SNP version 2.0 software .Statistical…

    Five morphological observations were made from looking at the unknown fossil specimen. See the list of the observations that were made. Figure 4 Fossil Cladogram was then redrawn into the lab journal and a prediction was made on the fossil placement on the cladogram based on the observations. Next, an explanation of the reasons for the prediction was then recorded in the lab notebook. The four gene file were then downloaded onto the computer by going to the website listed below.…

    The Evolution Canyon is a particularly special place for observing how a specific species may change overtime, in two different environments. Evolution Canyon I, located in Lower Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, has two slopes; a South Facing Slope, which receives higher solar radiation, higher temperature, and experiences droughts, and a North Facing Slope, which shows a more temperate climate, with shade and humidity engulfing its physical atmosphere (Nevo, 2009). The fungus Sordaria fimicola can be easily obtained from both of these slopes and grown in a lab, making it an ideal organism for scientists to study. It produces fruiting bodies containing asci with eight spores. These asci arrangements in the spores can than be viewed under a microscope…

    The complementation test cross was set up with the purpose of identifying the unknown gene. The cross was set up between parents with similar phenotypes. Two results were expected from this crosses, one of the crosses would show the complementation of two mutant alleles and the other cross would show two allelic mutations. If the two mutant allele complement each other all the progeny will be wild type, and thus are likely mutations in two different genes. However, if the progeny displays hot cheeto the two mutations are allelic and in the same gene.…

    Our hypothesis that was formulated was trying to explain how a child with both parents as carriers has a risk of acquiring and having sickle cell anemia. To text our hypothesis different methods and different materials were used to get the clear results. Materials that were used are as follows; agarose gel, micropipette and tips, DNA samples, fast stain, gel knife, light box, warm water, and lastly gloves. Prepared agarose gel was given; gel was held in a plastic bag to keep it from contamination, plastic bag was removed carefully and the gel was placed into the gel box.…

    DNA analysis, also known as DNA profiling, testing, typing, is a process that takes genetic material and evaluates it so that it can identify individuals in a criminal investigation or in use of a forensic application. The beginning step of the performance of DNA analysis on a reference sample or person is the collection of DNA from cells. These cells can come from a blood sample or even swabbing the inside of an individual’s cheek. After it is collected, the samples are then sent to a lab for the further steps of DNA analysis. There are different methods that can be used to analyze this DNA.…

    ABO Blood Group Essay

    Prior to WWII many anthropologists maintained that race was a biological phenomenon best ascertained through the use of anthropometric measurements. After the war, however, a growing number of anthropologists along with geneticists and serologists began to rethink the race concept and its attendant methodologies. Prompted by political and social events as well as empirical shifts brought on by the modern synthesis, these scientists sought more "objective" and "scientifically valid" methods for the study of race. The ABO blood groups emerged in the mid-century as an exciting new avenue for racial research. Discovered in 1901 by Austrian biochemist Karl Landsteiner, the ABO groups are a classificatory system of blood based on the expression of antigenic molecules on the surface of red blood cells.…

    After completing a series of washes, students quantified the amount of DNA in their sample using the NanoVue Spectrophotometer. Using their results from the NanoVue, students were able to determine the amount of their sample DNA and PCR master mix they needed to add to PCR tubes. Then, the samples were loaded into the PCR machine to amplify DNA samples. Once the PCR cycle was complete, samples were stored in a freezer at -20⁰C. With the products from PCR, students used Gel Electrophoresis to separate electrically charged molecules. Gel Electrophoresis requires 3 steps; preparing a gel solution, gel electrophoresis, and photographing the gel.…

    Scientists classify organisms by grouping and sorting organisms together based on their physical structure, evolutionary relationships, embryonic similarities, genetic similarities, and their biochemical similarities. The most popular form of classification system used by scientists is Linnaeus’s System of Classification, by which organisms are classified and grouped into 6 different kingdoms; bacteria, archaea, protista, fungi, plant and animal. By classifying organisms it provides scientists with an easy way to study organisms efficiently, and allows for predictions and knowledged observations. Knowledge about classification allows scientists to make predictions about organisms, living and extinct. It allows for a comparison and understanding…
