Mutant

Lactase persistence is the result of a gene mutation and therefore considered the mutant allele while non-persistent is the wild-type allele. However, the LCT gene itself is not mutated. The single base pair mutation (a change from a “C” to a “T”) occurs in an intron of a neighboring gene that lies 13,910 nucleotides upstream, which alters…

ABSTRACT In this experiment we set up crosses between mutant and wildtype flies in order to find similarities to Mendel’s work with pea plants. We did this by placing females in vials with males and waiting one week. After one week we obtained the second generation and were able to observe the different phenotypes that resulted from the cross. We were able to count each phenotype under a microscope and record the number of each type. We used this data to calculate the chi square value, which…

to the mountain, Jake begins to fear what will happen to him. The gunslinger tells Jake about his coming of age, where he reveals his name is Roland. They make their way down the tunnels below mountain and are attacked by Slow Mutants. While Roland is fighting the Slow Mutants, Jake is hanging from the tracks. The man in black gives Roland a choice, go after him or save Jake. Roland chooses to go after the man in black. The man in black tells Roland his fate from a pack of cards. The man in…

to identify the gene responsible for B-O-GlcNAcylation. This allowed subsequent use an array of genetic and biochemical techniques to explore the correlations between loss of specific tailoring modifications and the observed phenotypes of WTA null mutants, allowing them to demonstrate B-O-GlcNAcylation is required for B-lactam resistance and therefore hypothesise that this modification could act as an effective target for new antimicrobials. Identification of B-O-GlcNAc Transferase in…

John Wyndham tells the story of a community where prejudice and intolerance is a way of life. The aim of this prejudice and intolerance is to protect the chosen from those who differ from legally-defined norm. However, the residents’ bigotry against mutants puts their personal safety at risk, and dooms them to a primitive mode of subsistence. Fear and suspicion permeate the lives of the villagers of Waknuk, turning parent against child. Moreover, the determination of community leaders to destroy…

In addition to being small and easy to…

who are similarly troubled.” Like an out casted mutant, these ‘troubled’ children are sought out by Professor X (Hrabba) to be able to control their ‘gifts,’ accept them, become more powerful, and use them for the benefit of those who were not privileged enough to have them. Despite being mocked, bullied, and often times neglected by their ‘normal’ peers, those who accept the gifts attempt to use them for good. There is no right way to be a mutant; every one has their own abilities and powers.…

In order to better understand the cell cycle and the different phases of mitosis, students were expected to observe cell division in an onion root. I hypothesized that we would observe more cells in interphase since most of a cell’s life is spent in interphase. In order to make observations, we used a light microscope to view two slides of an onion root—one had been previously prepared while the other slide was made by each individual student. Furthermore, we then counted how many cells were in…

In dystopian stories they often reflect the worst parts of the societies. Whenever authors write a dystopian story they take a look at society and pick out whatever 's bad or needs to be changed. Dystopia novels always show the bad side of things. In the book The Hunger Games there are 12 districts of Panem. Each district is allocated by what the capital tells them to do:district 1 luxury,district 2 masonry/stonework,district 3 electronics, district 4 fishing, district 5 power,district 6…

Scientists have been using various organisms to perform experiments and do research to understand the various phenomenon that relates to human since doing experiments on human is against the law of human right. Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) is one of the model organism that can be used for various applications. In this experiment, the fruit flies were used to observe the basic genetic mechanism, leading to understanding the mode of inheritances of other organisms since they all share…
