pleiotropy is the single gene controlling or influencing multiple (and possibly unrelated) phenotypic traits. Mutation in this type of gene will simultaneously affect more than one trait. An example is phenylketonuria‚ a human disease caused by mutation(s) in a single gene that codes for the enzyme‚ phenylalanine hydroxylase. The disease is characterized by mental retardation and reduced hair and skin pigmentation. List and explain other factors that

Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance plasmids can

Resistance in a Conductor: The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).An object of uniform cross section has a resistance proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show some resistance‚ except

Taha Al-Yousif Hooke’s Law Lab Date conducted: September 18th 2013 Partners: Mohammed‚ Liam‚ Ben Nguyen Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to find the relationship between the stretch of the spring and the attached mass and to verify that this relationship is accurately described by Hook’s Law. Theory: Hooke’s Law states that to extend a spring by an amount (Stretch) from its previous position‚ one needs to add an external force (Mass). Therefore

pulling the spring scale‚ which measure force in Newtons (kg x m/s2)‚ and then the block is moving. Different masses (kg)‚ or the measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force‚ of an object have different accelerations (∆v/∆t). The more massive the object is‚ the smaller its acceleration. Newton’s third law of force says that if two object interact‚ the force F12 exerted by object 1 on object 2 is equal and opposite to the force F21 exerted by object

Introduction The aims of the lab session was to familiarize with the principles‚ operation and application of a light spectrophotometer. This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of absorbance and concentration‚ the interaction of electromagnetic radiant energy(ERE) and matter which is an important aspect of the Beer-Lambert ’s Law. This law states that the absorption of a compound is directly proportional to the concentration of that particular compound. This is because (a &

2014 Authored by: Cody Appleby‚ Gregory Harmeling‚ and Joseph Pernici May 26th‚ 2014 Lab section: C014 Monday 11am-1:50pm TA: Eduardo Castillo Work station 8 1 Abstract This lab consisted of three different measurements; measuring length‚ flow rate‚ and resistance. The reason for this lab was to use statistical concepts learned in lecture to analyze data and to become more familiar with the lab equipment. Repeatability measurements were taken on a bolt to get the total length‚ and

INTRODUCTION There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose‚ Indole Production‚ and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise
