Chromatography Experiment of the Drosophila Eye Pigmentation Pathway Introduction: How can the use of chromatography help explain single gene mutations of the drosophila melanogaster bio-synthetic pigment pathway? This experiment was meant to help connect the mode of inheritance with different eye color mutations and pinpoint where they occur in the pigment pathway. The drosophila eye color is a result of two bio-synthetic eye color pathways‚ this is expressed as a trait or phenotype‚ a multigene

How Does Chromatography Work? Chromatography is a surface effect. It works by first starting off with an unidentified liquid being injected into a column. As the chemicals in the liquid move down the column‚ they separate depending on their physical and chemical attributes‚ such as speed and weight. To easily picture the process‚ the example will pertain to a paper chromatography process in which the liquid is moving over the paper‚ separating the mixture as it travels up the piece of paper. When

The Purity of Happiness The short story The Happy Man written by Maguib Mahfouz is about a protagonist which throughout the story is referred to as the “Happy Man”. The protagonist one day wakes up and finds himself to be “inconceivably happy”‚ which means this man has the feeling of unbelievable happiness. This is ironic in the sense that Maguib Mahfouz gives the reader clues to what the true situation and meaning of the unbelievable happiness is. It is the mental state known as depression. It

Problem How can you tell pigment separation by using Chromatography? Objective To prepare a chromatogram‚ separate pigments in a leaf and interpret the chromatogram. Hypothesis If I am to put a chromatography paper into a solvent‚ then it would separate the pigments depending on their Rf value. I think the pigments will separate in this order: Chlorophyll A‚ Chlorophyll B‚ Carotene‚ and Xanthophyll. Introduction Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy

that because substances have different properties‚ such as mass‚ that can be separated by chromatography. In our experiment‚ we chose 4 different color source to separate in water. We made sure that all the sources were water soluble because only polar substances will dissolve in water. We chose a black wet-erase marker‚ a red marker‚ a green marker‚ and mixed food coloring to test. The chromatography paper was split into 4 sections‚ about 2 cm above the bottom edge and evenly spaced out. Each section

Extracting NaCl from Rock Salt and assessing its purity Aim The aim of this experiment was to obtain a pure product from a solution through the processes o extraction‚ filtering and evaporation. Introduction Extraction is used when trying to separate or purify a product. For an extraction to be successful the substance used to make the solvent should readily dissolve. The substance used in this practical was rock salt. The liquid used should not react with the substance that needs extracting

coursework I have been investigating the synthesis of Aspirin and checking for presence and purity of Aspirin. Throughout this coursework we have looked at the history of Aspirin; industrial manufacturing; making salicylic acid; the preparation of Aspirin; recrystallization and purity; melting point; thin layer chromatography (TLC) and titration of Aspirin. I’ve learned a lot about Aspirin‚ how it works and how it is made. We found out that the Aspirin we made and used was actually very pure when we

different polarities and may be different colors. Mixed pigments can be separated using chromatography paper. Chromatography paper is able to separate mixed pigments due to their polarity and solubility. Pigments of chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and beta carotene will be separated on chromatography paper because each has its own polarity and solubility‚ which results in different distance traveled up the paper. Beta carotene is non-polar so it travels the highest distance‚ followed by chlorophyll

Kool-Aid was correct. However‚ solely based upon the Rf values‚ the dyes in the green Kool-Aid are Red 40 and Yellow 6 as those are closet Rf value to the numeric data collected and calculated from the Kool-Aid chromatogram. However‚ the chromatography paper in both trials display that the dyes in Kool-Aid are a form of yellow and a form of blue because one color band was of a blue tint and the other‚ a yellow tint. Therefore‚ based on this qualitative data‚ the dyes in the green Kool-Aid are Blue
