6F4Z1003- Genetics, Adaptation and Diversity Practical Report Section 1- Calculations and Pedigrees 1. In DNA extraction the proteins absorb light at 260nm and 280nm, especially the aromatic acids. 2. 250µg to nm, 250 x 1000 = 250,000ng. 3. 200ng/ml = 0.2µg/ml. 150µg/ml = 150,000µg/ml 250,000pg/µl = 250µg/ml 1mg/ml = 1000µg/ml ● 150,00µg/ml - HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF DNA ● 1000µg/ml ● 250µg/ml ● 0.2µg/ml - LOWEST CONCENTRATION OF DNA 4. Sodium dodecyl sulphate is used as a…

3. Results 3.1. Bumblebees We recorded a total of 98 bumblebee individuals (Bombus sp.) comprising 13 species (Appendix A, Table A.1). Sixty-four individuals belonging to 12 species were identified in managed meadows, and 34 individuals belonging to 8 species in abandoned meadows. Three of the total species were cuckoo bumblebees (Bombus [Psithyrus] sp). Five species were classified as long-tongued and 8 species as short-tongued. Total species richness and number of long-tongued species were…

independently in gametes. Although Mendel’s contribution to genetics isn’t wrong, there are some exceptions of inheritances that do not follow Mendel’s principles. Non-mendelian inheritance traits include maternal effects, epigenetics, and extranuclear genes. What makes traits non-mendelian is if their phenotypic patterns do not follow in accordance with Mendels laws. Maternal effects being one of the many exceptions to Mendels laws, involves the pattern of inheritance in which the phenotype of…

Deoxyribonucleic acid consists of a phosphate and deoxyribose backbone, and four different nitrogenous bases. These bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Ribonucleic acid, the molecule formed in the transcription of DNA, is made up of phosphate, ribose, and adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. The backbone of DNA consists of a phosphate bonded to a deoxyribose molecule. Deoxyribose is a sugar containing five carbons, and it is called deoxyribose as it is missing an oxygen atom on…

Transhumanism Transhumanism is when technology is involved in enhancing human life. Technology is a growing business in this century. The advancements have been major assets to human beings. The contributions of transhumanism include artificial hearts and exoskeleton technology. Every day a new invention of transhumanism is being processed to help make human life either better or easier. Humans should participate in the idea of transhumanism…

thousands of genes that we have? I would say not all of us have. This question is not often ask unless we form part of a science club or have careers that are associated with biology, as a college student and future professional woman I do think it is important to ask this type of questions and to know the answer. People always tend to ignore the scientific side of the how our personality, behavior, temperament and experience seeking, among others things are affected by our genes. According…

around the surface of a sphere. The corners of the structure are what we refer to as vertices, and each icosahedron comprises 12. These structures display a 2-3-5 symmetry, where there is 2-fold symmetry that rotates through the middle of the edges, 3-fold symmetry that rotates through the middle of each face, and 5-fold symmetry that rotates through the middle of the corners. These triangles are built from identical subunits, which in this cause prevent gaps from occurring between subunits,…

From both the article and the textbook, some of the unique qualities of humans are its bipedalism, large brain, complex language, and the ability to forge tools. Of all the traits listed above, bipedalism is one of the most vital. Not only was it essential for the survival and expansion of our species, but according to Darwin it is considered a key force for human evolution. (Ironically enough, one of the major health problems that people face today is living a sedentary life style.) Before we…

are now known as the three laws of inheritance. This set of laws consists of the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment. To begin, the first law of inheritance is the Law of Dominance. This law states that genes come in pairs and are inherited in different units called alleles. In a situation with one dominant allele and one recessive allele, the dominant trait will show as it is a carrier and the recessive allele is still there, but not showing. My…

biochemistry, anatomy, and cell biology. There are a number of suggested purposes for cloning technology. In one branch of study the media has termed “Farmaceuticals,” scientists can harvest proteins and medications from livestock by inserting “a human gene for a medically useful protein into an animal embryo's DNA and place the embryo…
