Quantifying the COX1 Gene within the Mitochondrial DNA of a Potato Introduction Respiration is a very important process for every living organism. While it is typically thought of as breathing in oxygen‚ and exhaling carbon dioxide‚ like all things‚ it must take place at the cellular level. The electron transport chain is responsible for cellular respiration. The process uses four complexes; the fourth is cytochrome c oxidase. Cytochrome C oxidase is responsible for the reduction of oxygen to water

In order to read DNA‚ it must be sequenced. This sequencing uses electrophoresis‚ a technique that separates sections of DNA that differ by a base. Electrophoresis used to be done manually‚ but was error prone and time consuming. Now‚ automatic sequencing machines are used. A technician begins the process by pouring gel between two glass plates that are set less than half a millimeter apart. After the gel is set up‚ DNA is put into each of the ninety-six lanes. The DNA sections then move through

In the BIO 14 Lab‚ the organismal system used for the last of three labs this semester is the Mimosa pudica plant. In these three weeks the stimulus-response of these plants will used to conduct experiments on the phenotypic plasticity of Mimosa pudica. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotypic traits in response to changes in the environment. And while very beneficial in some ways such as by allowing organisms to adapt to a changing environment quickly‚ it also

Environmental Systems Bio-cylinder Lab Report Planning: The question that we‚ as a class‚ were trying to answer was: How long can the organisms survive within a sample-closed ecosystem? To answer this three separate classes had the opportunity to create their own bio-cylinders‚ place a specified number of organisms‚ seal it‚ and observe the cylinder for however long the organisms were able to survive. Each class made small modifications to the number of fish and snails that placed within the

AP- Bio 201 Lab Report:Nervous System Please fill out this report and submit it to the dropbox. Do not hand in your own form. It will not be graded and you will receive a zero for the lab. You must get all parts correct to get credit for the question * Please note that although you do not hand in items in observations‚ it is very important to do these as you may see some of these items on future/associated lab quizzes or be asked about some of these concepts on unit assignments.

Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing‚ for body identification‚ and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next‚ the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third‚ DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly‚ the DNA must be isolated. A buccal swab is necessary in order to collect the cheek cells .The micropipettes are used to add lysis

Module 2 Section 2 EXPERIMENT: DNA & Protein Synthesis Exercise 1 – Modeling DNA 1. List the four bases which are found in DNA. (1 pt) The four bases found in DNA are cytosine‚ adenine‚ guanine and thymine. 2. Fit any six nucleotides together to form a row‚ then list the six nucleotides in the order you used them. Work with your model pieces and try fitting the bases together to make a double strand as shown in Figure 9 of the lab manual. Which nucleotides form
