1. Introduction Since the discovery of plasmid‚ various methods have been developed to isolate plasmid DNA. All the methods have one common and important target of isolating plasmid DNA of high quality and quantity in less time. These methods are not completely safe because of use of toxic chemicals compounds. The developed protocol for plasmid extraction is based on the alkaline lysis method of plasmid preparation (extraction at pH 8.0) with slight modifications. Cell lysis reagent sodium dodecyl

A mutation can simply be put as abrupt change in the genotype of an organism that is not the result of recombination. A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a large segment of a chromosome. Gene mutations occur in two ways: they can be inherited from a parent or acquired during a person’s lifetime. Mutations that are passed from parent to child are called hereditary mutations or germ

the sex of the offspring‚ and the autosomes consist of all the other chromosomes that determine phenotypic traits. Dominant traits are the genes that are expressed‚ while the recessive traits are masked by the dominant traits. We used Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)‚ mutating the female fruit fly with a scalloped gene to change the phenotype of its offspring and using males with genes showing wild-type. Placing WT males and SD females in the same vile‚ we provided the flies an atmosphere to mate

brought the idea of dominant and recessive genes. A dominant gene sort of overpowers the recessive gene in that the dominant trait will be shown in the phenotype. However the recessive gene just does not go away. It is merely masked by the dominant gene. For example in pea plants the color yellow is dominant while the color green is recessive. If one parent has the homozygous genotype for the dominant color yellow and the second parent has the homozygous genotype for the recessive color green the phenotype

genotype BB x bb (where B=black and b=albino). The gametes produced by the black parent would have carried the B allele‚ while those produced by the albino parent carried the b allele. The F1 offspring of such a cross would be Bb‚ and since black is dominant over albino‚ all the F1 animals would have had black fur. +1 point Second Cross: Since some of the F1 offspring are albino‚ that means that the black parent must have been heterozygous for fur color. So‚ the parents of the second cross were Bb x

assortment‚ which states that allele pairs split independently during the making of gametes. This means that the traits are transmitted to the offspring independently‚ like in this case the white eye gene and the vestigial wing gene (C. McPhee) the Different types of inheritance patterns are Autosomal dominant‚

of genes‚ Genetics‚ is a branch in Medicine that studies how genes are formed‚ distributed and how they change the organisms’ characteristics. The pioneer in the field of Genetics‚ Mendel‚ was able to formulate various laws based on genes‚ such as the law of segregation. Even though Mendel did not know about the existence of DNA‚ he was able to show that some traits are carried to offspring‚ even though the parents did not appear to have the gene. There are two types of genes‚ the dominant and

It predicts that over generations‚ freely mating populations will eventually becoming a uniform population of individuals. According to Mendel’s particulate hypothesis of inheritance‚ the gene idea was that parents pass on discrete heritable

their genes‚ which make up their DNA. Alleles are the types of genes‚ come in pairs in a gene‚ and are responsible for a person’s phenotypes(Wanjie 29). Phenotypes are the physical characteristics of a person. Alleles are either characterized as dominant or recessive. The dominant allele presides over the recessive allele‚ making the recessive allele "hidden". Because the recessive allele is covered‚ that person’s phenotype will only show the dominant allele. If a person has both recessive alleles

Extension of mendelian inheritance Incomplete Dominance Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes. Incomplete dominance is similar to‚ but different from co-dominance. In co-dominance‚ an additional phenotype is produced ‚ however both alleles are expressed completely
