Ksenia Semina Evolution Lab ARR 3 Blast Lab Analysis: Gene 1: The 4 organisms that were looked at in the Gene 1 are bird‚ vertebrate‚ rodent and bony fish. From the Blast result the most similar gene sequence to the gene of the gene of interest is Gallus gallus collaged which is also a bird. They are the most similar because the Gallus has the highest max score out of all other genes and 100% for the ident and there is no difference in the e-value. The species is located at the bird’s branch

it’s single celled so we simply have to insert genes into a single cell for it to exhibit the trait‚ it reproduces quickly so we see results fast‚ there is a commonly used non-virulent strain‚ and it is cheap to grow and does not require a lot of resources. A plasmid is what we are going to use to give the E. coli cells their extra genetic material. Plasmids are separate pieces of DNA that are not part of the circle of DNA that holds most of the genes in a genome (Brooker et al.‚ 2011). The plasmid

Human Genome Project were able to identify and map the 20‚000–25‚000 genes that define a human being. The project also successfully mapped the genomes of other species‚ including the fruit fly‚ mouse‚ and Escherichia coli. The location and complete sequence of the genes in each of these species are available for anyone in the world to access via the Internet. In this laboratory investigation‚ we used BLAST to compare several genes‚ and then use the information to construct a cladogram. A cladogram

DNA‚ the chemical that makes up our genes‚ contains a "code" of three letter words known as "codons" or "trinucleotide repeats." Many genes normally contain a trinucleotide repeat‚ which is present several times. When the number of repeats increases to a larger than normal number of copies‚ the DNA is altered‚ and the gene may not function correctly or at all ("Trinucleotide repeats: fragile-x‚" 2008). Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Males and females

mother and 23 of your father). The genes are in your cells in the nucleus and some in the mitochondria. The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are in charge of writing the genetic code. Genes are the code to make specifically proteins (for example‚ that protein that makes your eyes be blue)‚ and these genes are inherited through the different

Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough to say‚ because dominant and recessive does not apply in this case. Sexual spores are confined in a saclike form called asci (singular - ascus).

medical illnesses. The Human Genome Project has allowed geneticists to map the genes of human beings. This project is far from complete‚ as the DNA sequence of humans is extremely long‚ yet it will eventually show geneticists which genes are responsible for certain inherited diseases. Identified genes could be repaired‚ resulting in the irradiation of inherited diseases‚ such as cancer. Just last year‚ the locations of genes for several diseases were confirmed and may soon be correctable. Secondly‚ research

WAGR Syndrome WAGR (Wilms’ tumor‚ Aniridia‚ Genitourinary abnormalities‚ and mental Retardation) Syndrome is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome that is caused by a deletion in chromosome 11. The acronym for the syndrome comes from the various symptoms that are caused by the deletion – wilms’ tumor‚ aniridia‚ genitourinary abnormalities‚ and mental retardation. Wilms’ tumor is a tumor that is found in the kidneys that causes nephroblastoma‚ cancer of the kidneys. Aniridia‚ the absence of the iris
