Eukaryotic organism such as drosophila have been used extensively to demonstrate the classical Mendelian laws because they are inexpensive and abundant in genetic variations due to a small number of chromosomes. The purpose of this lab was to determine the phenotypic ratio for monohybrid and dihybrid crosses using drosophila. In a monohybrid cross, a single trait (eye color) is crossed in the organism and in a dihybrid cross,two different traits (eye color and wings) are crossed for a…

Introduction Caenorhabditis elegans is a common organism that is used in many experiments due to its easy upkeep, low cost, short life cycle, fast reproduction, large reproduction size, and genetic manipulability with transparent body structure (Maxwell C. K. Leung, Phillip L. Williams, et al.). The use of C. elegans has allowed many discoveries to be made throughout history. One experimental technique that enhances their use is a green fluorescence protein (GFP), this allows different regions…

at the University of Pennsylvania due to lack of informed consent and eligibility criteria for participation. Human genome project is other issue that is of major concern to privacy breach. With the advanced technology in genome sequencing and analysis, we are now able to decipher human genome. However, this leads to problems like patient future health concerns. One his/her genome sequence was known, using current bio-informatics databases we can predict about any possible development of…

In order to evaluate the efficiency of RAPD-PCR fingerprinting for Cajanus cajan L. cultivar, the DNA templates for 7 RAPD primers banding modality were used. The total number of magnified fragments in the Cajanus cajan L. cultivar value of each primer was represented in Table 2. Total of 18 bands were obtained for all primers. The size of the amplified bands was ranged between 1000 bp and 300 bp. Primers OP-A5, OP-B4, OP-B9, OP-C5 and OP-E15 showed at least three specific fragments. Primer…

Abstract: Genetic sequencing has brought about many scientific advancements, but techniques and approaches to sequencing vary, as do the goals of the sequencing. After reviewing first, second, and third-generation sequencing types, it would seem that both Sanger and Illumina-type sequencing would be most applicable to the data needed for phylogenetic systematics depending on mostly on cost and scale of research. Illumina, along with other sequencers such as those offered by 454 and nanopore, are…

The experiments covered in this report are based on the topic of DNA polymorphisms, these according to Houseman (1995) are differences in the DNA that occur between individuals. The polymorphisms under investigation here are classified as VNTR’s (variable number tandem repeats) and RFLP’s (restriction fragment length polymorphism). The first experiment is concerned with DNA polymorphisms that are known as VNTR’s, sections of DNA which have repeated nucleotide base sections in which the repeats…

According to http://www.encyclopedia.com, DNA which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid is used for human genetic makeup. It has different sequences of bases and exist in human body. The sequence of it nucleotides are A, T, G, C; or, adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. A DNA fingerprinting, is a DNA pattern that has a unique sequence such that it can be distinguished from the DNA patterns of other individual. The two major uses for the information is for personal identification…

single band, its molecular weight falls between 4000 and 5000 base pairs. Since the pAMP plasmid is known to be 4539 bps, it is likely that this band occurred due to some of the pAMP plasmid not getting cut and producing a band that accounts for the full molecular weight of the plasmid. However, only some of the DNA would have remained uncut. There should have also been two other bands…

On the southwest corner of 6th and Mt. Rushmore, there is a sign that says, "Welcome to Little Italy." The building next to the sign is a quadplex that shares many small businesses. This is a "mom and pop shop" area of town. Just to the north of all these businesses is an area where most of the drug addict and alcoholic population spend their time. This was a crime infested area with king pins in all sorts of drug categories. Our dispatcher received a call on. October 2nd, 2016 about a finding…

Discussion Alu is a transposable element that can be inserted into the human genome, enabling its use as genetic marker for ancestry differentiation,and thus identification. Due to new insertions, some humans do not have an alu insertions, while others may have accumulated mutations causing three types of polymorphisms, S1, S2 and L, the reference alu insertion, YB8 was useful as a standard to the comparison of nucleotide sequences changes to uncover the difference in the presence and absence of…
