Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human lactase phlorizin-hydrolase gene have been associated with the ability of certain individuals to constantly digest milk products. These mutations in the lactase gene lead to constitutive expression of lactase, which is then used to break disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose constantly throughout adulthood as lactase persistence. In particular, past research has shown that some individuals of the African and European descent have…

• Clinical Appearance This refers to any specific signs and symptoms that are related to the development of an infection or disease. The appropriate description of the clinical appearance often leads to a diagnosis of the illness. • Stained culture/histology examination False coloration of a substance to aid in the inspection of tissues, microorganisms, or other cells under a microscope. • Tests for antibodies to the microorganism Antibody tests rely on on the fact that there are specific…

The scientific community has come very far and reached a point in scientific breakthroughs that cloning and bioengineering can help with the advancement in the quality of human life. This process of cloning and bioengineering will help the human race as a whole through the benefits and advancements that follow due to the outcomes of this practice. Cloning and bioengineering should be used due to the benefits in the medical field, the advancements in crop and animal yield, and gives the…

As stated in the introduction the hypothesis for this experiment was that the solution beginning with the higher concentration of KMnO4 and placed in water with the warmer temperature will diffuse through the artificial membrane quicker than the solutions beginning with the already diluted solutions and placed in water at a cooler temperature. This occurring because all of the solutions are trying to diffuse to where it is less concentrated because they are eager to diffuse down its…

Specific Aim 2: Characterize mucosal MmuPV1 infection and persistence in nude mice by RNA sequencing analysis. Rationale: Both outbred and inbred nude mice are susceptible to MmuPV1 infection at mucosal sites including tongue, vagina and anus (16-18). Although all three sites are susceptible to MmuPV1 infection, the disease outcome varies. Vaginal tract are the most susceptible sites among the three and the infection can be detected along the vaginal tract and up to the cervical region (16,…

Proposition: GMO products needs to be regulated, and product packaging needs to be labeled. Introduction: When we buy food we expect that what we buy is what it says it is. But now what if I tell you that the tomatoes or cabbage you buy also includes scorpion poison in it? Would you still eat it if it was properly labeled with what it contained? Now what if I tell you that this was common with all our food supplies. Scary isn’t it? What I’m talking about it GMO or genetically modified…

The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These mechanisms are based upon the changes that occur within an organism’s gene pool and how they affect those organisms and their survivability. Some of these mechanisms of evolution move quickly and affect large populations while others are slow moving and affect small populations. Not all of the evolutionary mechanisms are positive and benefit the population’s long term survival. Commonly these negative…

3-2-1 Assignment- Genetic Inheritance 3 Main Points: 1. The cell contains three important things. Those three things are the nucleus, mitochondria, and the ribosomes. The nucleus consists of DNA and RNA molecules which contain hereditary information that has a jurisdiction of the cell’s purpose. The mitochondria contains mtDNA distinctive influence in human developmental research. Lastly, the ribosomes are the basic necessity to the process of protein synthesis. 2. Meiosis is a process where…

The focus of this lab was to identify which plasmid (pFG or pGLO) transformed into E. coli culture. E. coli have the capability to take up foreign DNA from their environment in times of stress. In order for the E. coli to be transformed, the E. coli must first be made competent. Once the culture has been made competent, the cells can transform. The plasmid that was inserted into the E. coli culture contained antibiotic-resistant gene and a reporter gene. A reporter gene is a gene that is easy to…

The career my group and I chose was forensic genetics. Forensic genetics is the branch of genetics where they use genetics to help identify crime victims, perpetrators, or family relationships. People who work in this field are called forensic geneticists. They work mostly in medical of crime labs. Most of these jobs require only a bachelor's degree in one of the physical sciences. If you want to become a leader on the lab, you will need a Masters degree. A bachelor's degree is the lowest…
