IB SL Biology Lab Molecular Biology: Transformation and Electrophoresis Christina Qi 2/16/07 Aim: How can a plasmid be engineered to include a foreign piece of DNA and how does gel electrophoresis separate DNA molecules present in a mixture? Hypothesis: If the pGLO plasmid is inserted into competent Escherichia coli cells‚ then the transformed bacteria will be resistant to ampicillin and will glow green under UV light. If samples of DNA are cut using certain restriction

Destinie Bradford Bio 1040 18 February 2013 Critical Analysis of DNA Replication in Bacteria DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for natural inheritance. The process starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. The cell cycle (mitosis) also pertains to the DNA replication/reproduction process. DNA replication‚ in eukaryotes‚ is controlled within the context of the cell cycle

OBJECTIVES The Basis of Heredity 1. Explain in general terms how traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. An organism’s traits and appearance are controlled by specific forms of proteins contained in DNA. When gametes are formed‚ the male and female parents pass along their DNA into their respective gametes. Fertilization fuses the gametes and combines the genetic contribution of each parent into the new offspring. 2. Distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual Reproduction-A

A reflection and analysis of my role as Assistant Stage Manager in the production of The Hour/DNA by Jordan Daughtry. As part of the Performance Practice module‚ myself and my fellow students had to take part in two mainstage productions at Derby Theatre as either cast‚ crew or taking a dual role. Having the option to choose our desired role‚ I opted to take part as either a part of the cast or a member of the marketing team. When the roles were announced‚ I was assigned to the Marketing team and

Background: This lab is all about finding the density of a candy bar‚ and determining whether or not the candy bar will float or end up sinking in a glass of water. In order to investigate the principles of mass‚ you have to find the volume and density for four different types of candy bars. My question is‚ which candy bar will have the least amount of density? Hypothesis: If a Twix has cookie inside‚ then it will have the least amount of density. Materials: 4 candy bars( Snickers‚ Twix‚ 3

Closed-loop Insulin Therapy Improves Glycemic Control in Children with Type One Diabetes. Type One Diabetes is a common endocrine problem in children and its rate is growing. The risk of long-term problems such as cardiovascular and microvascular could be reduced by improving glycemic control. In spite of the accessibility of therapeutic options such as self-monitoring of blood glucose‚ rapid-acting insulin analogues‚ planned patient education‚ and insulin pump therapy‚ glycemic control in the majority

The two navy officers shown at left are identical twins. Why do you think identical twins look so similar? Identical twins look so similar because identical twins have the same genetic makeup‚ meaning‚ the same DNA (same nitrogenous bases). This is because

Lab 5 The Diffraction Grating Chinua McDonald Objective: To measure the wavelength of light with a diffraction grating. Theory: The two types of diffraction gratings are the transmission and reflection gratings. They are made by ruling on a piece of glass or metal a number of evenly spaced lines with a fine diamond point. Diffraction phenomena can be analyzed in terms of Huygens’ principle‚ according to which every point on the wave front of a wave should be considered as a source
