Polymerase Chain Concentration: The Hardy Weinberg Theory Of

Great Essays
Introduction: Hardy Weinberg theory was an effective tool for recognizing the different genotypes from one generation to the next and each allele frequency. This theory notifies us by how Mendelian inheritance was the lead for all genetic variation and it can be used to follow Mendelian’s rules of segregation and the combination of alleles. Polymerase chain reaction was one of the essentials that is used in the Hardy Weinberg theory of genetic equilibrium which was used in determining the presence of ALU element using TBA 25. The importance of using PCR is to make more copies of small pieces of DNA from human genome to look for the presence of ALU element. Every human genome contains approximately 5% of Alu element. In order for Hardy- Weinberg theory of equilibrium to work, certain conditions …show more content…
when we extracted DNA, we used Proteinase K (Pro K) digests to mix it with it and touch spinning it to extract all genomic DNA. We added to it Lysis before just to make sure there is no damage to the DNA membrane. We amplified DNA sequences of our cheek cells using polymerase chain reaction technique. We placed our DNA that contains master mix on the ice container so it does not get denatured while setting up out the PCR mixture. As a group, we set up our master mix and all all the mixtures we need in it to decrease the percentage of errors which could be done. While making the mixture for master mix, we had to keep it on ice all the time. We had to do it twice because the first time was not successful, we had too much bubbles. The second time, we had a little bit of bubbles, but we tried to get rid of it by pipetting it out of the tube which was a big error. Doing that, made us not have enough master mix later on to add it to our extracted DNA and the negative control tube so when we looked at out gel under the light, we had no bands for negative

    By having a thicker gel, smaller segments can move better and not be cleared out by bigger segments. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to replicate DNA. In Lab 5, we created PCR amplicons by collecting our own DNA through our cheek cells, adding Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, primer, and a proper buffer solution into a PCR tube.…

    . Why does (or doesn’t) the frequency of a physical trait change in a rabbit population in different environments? c. This is an important investigation as understanding how populations are affected by different traits helps to understand why certain species thrive in an a certain an environment and why others don’t. This is an interesting investigation as there are no predators in this investigation, the rabbits are competing for food and that is why they are dying at an alarming rate.…

    The rule states that Mendel’s law doesn’t correspond with this and it would not make sense if the genes were linked. If the genes were linked then the PD and T asci will show and only a small portion of the NPD would show up. The hypothesis would be that if the gray spore and tan spore genes are linked together, two genes should not segregate independently and the PD frequency should be more than the NPD asci…

    This possibility is referred to as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg principle. Although the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is rarely met in a given population, it can occur if only the allele and genotype remain the same from one generation to the next in the absence of different evolutionary influences. Alleles are a pair of genes that appear on a particular chromosome and control certain characteristics, such as color and…

    Natural selection can acts on the basis of two different modes, positive purifying which included the process of eliminating a damaging allele, the second mode is balancing selection, which comprise of heterozygote advantage and frequency dependent selection. Each of the selection modes is a response to the environment or intrinsic selective pressure and operates to shift allele frequencies and leaves a signature on variation in the genome. Positive selection and balancing selection act in contrast manner, for instance positive selection decreases the genetic variation by favoring the advantageous or adaptive alleles while the balancing selection maintains tends to maintain polymorphism whereby overdominance selection favors heterozygotes and…

    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.…

    In this experiment, a SDS-PAGE gel was used to analyze the protein samples from the MBP-AP and WT-AP experiments. The samples are then referenced to the ladder to determine the molecular weight of the MBP-AP and WT-AP proteins. Then the UV absorbance of the two proteins from 240 nm to 340 nm is determined using a nanovolume cuvette. The absorbance at 280 nm was then used in conjunction with data from previous experiments to determine the concentration of the MBP-AP and WT-AP protein samples. Results of experiments showed that the SDS-PAGE gel yielded expect bands and the approximate molecular weight of wild type alkaline phosphatase and maltose binding protein-alkaline phosphatase is 49 kDa and 95 kDa, respectively.…

    Genus Homo Evolution

    Since the emergence of the genus Homo, the hominins went through great patterns of evolution over generations. Through series of adaptations, the genus Homo spread in various geographic locations and eventually emerged as anatomically modern humans. With the allele frequency changes that evolved in the genus Homo, there is key evidence that microevolution led to macroevolution. From speciation to extinction, the modern synthesis helps us explain not only the mechanisms of evolution and the reproductive barriers between species, but also the various social adaptations that changed the hominins over time. From 2mya to ca.…
