Introduction Escherichia coli or more commonly known as E. Coli is a gram negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine. There are many different strains of E. Coli, with strains that are created in a laboratory setting that are used as a standard for testing other strains of e.coli.1 These special strains possess an inherent tetracycline resistance from the insertion of a “marker” 2’ upstream or downstream from a targeted gene. These tetracycline marked…
In The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger by Stephen King, the gunslinger tries to catch the man in black. The novel is 305 pages long. The book is set in a dystopian parallel universe. The world is similar to our own, having the song “Hey Jude” and its own versions of modern technology. The gunslinger crosses the desert with his mule and he encounters Brown. He tells Brown about what happened in Tull. He questioned the townspeople about a man in black, where he discovers that he brought a man back to…
he had Dan and his apprentice Isaac arrested and thrown into jail. But then, Dan came up with a brilliant and original plan to escape. They would dig their way out using spoons. This amazing plan had only one flaw. Underground there lived another mutant earthworm who had also become massive…
If they are proven to be mutants they will be banished from the society of Waknuk. The people of Waknuk go by the laws that Joseph Strorm has set even though he is not an official leader of Waknuk. Unfortunately, because David is the son of Joseph; he is unable to help Sophie and…
vg (2-67) mutants exhibit a high volume of cell death around the larval disc region, thus a male adult will be observed with no wings. Some have no wings, reduced wings and without a functioning vg there is no enhancement of cell division or survival. The lack if…
“Muah hah hah” the Evil Scientist laughed whilst making the super mutant creations known today as Puckhead Bacon Mouth the superhero and his evil arch nemesis villain Hockey Stick Sausage Eyes. They were made in the greases of cheese, bacon, sausage and boiling battery acid and a few extras. The mad Scientist didn’t know that that concoction would make some mutant creatures like it did and nor did he know villain or superhero. He didn’t know if he should be scared or proud. He kept them in cages…
transformed it into Dictyostelium to conduct immunofluorescence localization studies of LITAF at different stages of growth and development. This will not only allow the tracking of changes in the localization of wildtype LITAF but also of its human mutant forms already developed by Dr. Brunetti’s laboratory. Thus, the identification of LITAF localization pattern in Dictyostelium throughout its development will offer valuable insight into the protein’s function. Furthermore, I intend to also…
In the fall of 1963, writer Stan Lee created a comic about a fictional team of superheroes with incredible powers known as the X-Men. Since the first comic appeared there have been ongoing spin-offs created, and to this day over 400 issues of X-Men comics exist each with an abundance of volumes. The first X-Men movie came out in the year 2000 and the worldwide franchise has not stopped growing. A total of seven movies have been released, the latest being X-Men: Days of Future Past, and X-Men:…
Title : Drosophila melanogaster Sexual Inheritance Patterns Introduction: This experiment determines sexual inheritance patterns amongst drosophila melanogaster. The model species drosophila melanogaster was used to study the passing of genes from one generation to the next. These fruit flies are good model species because the birth and generation process happens very quickly comparatively. One generation of a fruit fly lasts approximately 10-14 days. Several different traits were chosen to…
four to six male marker flies. This is to ensure that that a 1:1:1:1 segregation occurs in the progeny. Discard any unnecessary progeny. Data Analysis of Discriminant Cross 1: Discriminant Cross 1 (DC1) helps identify the phenotypic class of the mutant allele. As progeny began to appear in the cross, we began keeping a count of how many flies per mutations were produced in the laboratory notebook. After we collected over 200 progenies, we counted how many of each phenotype was shown and…
