Scientific Paper 4-10-13 Determining the Unknown Genotype of Corn Plants of the Zea mays Species from the Phenotypes of Offspring Produced Abstract No one particular organism is an exact replica of another. Diversity in the world is key for future generations to adapt to the fast changing world. This lab observed the corn plant of the Zea mays species to determine the genotype for the gene of tall versus dwarf in unknown parent corn plants by observing the seedlings produced. It was hypothesized

Report 1: Genetics-411 Population Genetics of Albinism in Zea mays Spring 2013 2/16/2013 Tory Thomason Introduction Zea mays or maize was chosen as the study system for this experiment for many reasons. The phenotype being studied is observable to the naked eye‚ green or yellow plants. It is an important agricultural system used in crop and is an ideal genetic model. Zea mays also has a quick turnaround time from generation to generation and crossing Zea mays

Slavery has always been a very hot topic when it comes to American history. All textbooks and historians would agree that slavery is the reason the Southern states prospered. Slaves were considered property and not people; it’s crazy to think you wouldn’t then count them as anything but a whole person. The people were already enslaved and now they were being used as numbers. Each State had their own reasons for wanting to use the slaves to their advantage. The Three Fifths Compromise made it

Record the genotype. Reshuffle until each partner has one offspring. 2. Both partners should record their genotype. They are now the next generation. 3. Each partner should obtain cards that correspond with the genotype. Randomly seek other people and mate with them to produce offspring of the next generation. Record genotype after each

called PopCycle (Herron 2002)‚ which picked genotypes randomly‚ and showed the results after particular conditions were entered. Students took these numbers and visually displayed them in charts. They configured the predicted amount of adults for each genotype by using the Hardy-Weinberg mathematical equation p2 + 2pq + q2 to figure out the expected adults for the genotypes AA‚ Aa‚ and aa. The students also produced graphs showing allelic frequencies and genotype frequencies. They concluded that their

observe different phenotypes and how the bacteria are behaving in different types of media. Four different genotypes of bacteria were used: I+P+Z+‚ I+P-Z+‚ I-P+Z+‚ and I+P+Z-. Genotype I+P+Z+ is the wild type‚ in which everything gene is normal. Genotype I+P-Z+ has mutated gene P‚ which do not allow promoter to bind very well; therefore‚ the level of β-galactosidase is very low. Genotype I-P+Z+ has mutated gene I‚ which make the

The Hardy-Weinberg equation was then used to determine the genotypes frequencies that were expected in a population at equilibrium. The class data was entered into the Allele Server database (http://www.bioservers.org) where a chi-square test was used to compare observed genotype frequencies with those

Module 01 Lab Worksheet: General Review Introduction This week’s lab will focus on reviewing the concepts of anatomical terminology‚ metric conversion and genetics‚ specifically the concept of dominant and recessive alleles in a human pedigree. Objectives Objectives for this week’s lab include: 1) Review anatomical terminology‚ 2) Demonstrate metric conversion knowledge‚ and 3) Review the concepts of genetic inheritance and demonstrate knowledge of the inheritance patterns of dominant and recessive
