of Phage DNA as well. Last step was protocol 10.3, gel electrophoresis. The relevance of this study is important to field of biology because bacterial infections could be treated with bacteriophages. Bacteriophages can be a solution to antibiotic resistance because phages are viruses that are able to infect bacteria. This can tremendously help and set a new pathway in biology. The results were that phage was isolated. The conclusion is that gordonia host didn’t produce results, which…

Position Paper The stigma against genetically modified foods kill people. How, you think? How does simply an idea cause the death of thousands of people? First of all, genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism 's genome by changing the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. Genetically modified organisms are food crops that have been created through the application of transgenic,…

While genetically modified organisms have been around since the 90 's, they are still a highly debated topic all the way into 2016. The use of many GMOs create a hot bed of debate, but the pros of GMOs far outweigh the cons. The struggle for the population control and world hunger are evident and also uncontrollable, as we approach 9 billion people it is eminent that we will run out of needed resources such as food, gas, and space. What if I told you that the issue of food could be easily solved…

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…

Control Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Genetic engineering can: cure inherited diseases, modify plants so that they may fight pollution and make bigger/faster growing fruits and vegetables, make cats to glow in the dark, and cows that pass less gas. There are both pros and cons to genetic engineering. With that being said, society wants to know should it be controlled by law. In…

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…

Discuss the similarities and differences in DNA replication between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Are the changes in eukaryotes adaptations? Explain. Introduction Before we start our discussion, let us refresh our memories; cells are the absolute smallest building blocks of life, each manifesting a sophisticated design. Broadly speaking, the cells are divided in eukaryotes that contain membrane-bound organelles; and prokaryotes that do not (Diffen, 2007)—in short, prokaryotes are both simpler and…

1. ABSTRACT: A total of 552 serum samples of sheep, goats and cattle from different localities at Assiut governorate, Egypt were screened for qualitative analysis of the BTV antibodies using a commercial competitive ELISA (cELISA) kit. The results showed an overall percentage of BTV positive sheep, goats and cattle serum samples were 41.86%, 24% and 85.42% respectively. A highest percentage of seropositivity was found in Arab El- Awamer farm(100%), followed by Abnoub( 63. 64%), Sedfa(11.…

This article looks at the seismonastic response (the response of a plant to touch or vibration) and how it utilizes the transport of K+ in the pulvinar cells (the thickening at the base of a leaflet that causes the movement of the leaflet based on differing turgor pressure in these cells). They tested many hypotheses regarding the seismonastic reaction in the Mimosa pudica, one of which tested whether there was an increased efflux of K+ from pulvinar cells during stimulation. The experimenters…

Leslie Mendoza BSC 1005 BIOTECHNOLOGY Leslie Mendoza BSC 1005 BIOTECHNOLOGY What is biotechnology? Biotechnology is a term which is a blend of two individual terms Biology and Technology. As the name proposes "It is the get together of innovation in study of science". Biotechnology is the act of utilizing plants, creatures and small scale living beings, for example, microscopic organisms and in addition natural procedures.…
