procedure to transform bacteria with a gene that codes for Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The real-life source of this gene is the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Green Fluorescent Protein causes the jellyfish to fluoresce and glow in the dark. Following the transformation procedure‚ the bacteria express their newly acquired jellyfish gene and produce the fluorescent protein‚ which causes them to glow a brilliant green color under ultraviolet light. In this activity‚ you will learn

The motion picture we are applying or using is Pixar’s "Finding Nemo". Our hero would be Marlin‚ the timid clownfish who lives safe and secluded in the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef. After the devastating‚ life changing event when starting a family‚ specifically when a hostile fish devoured his wife and all his unborn kids‚ Marlin had been a cowardly‚ cautious individual who lacks socialism and simply "can’t tell a joke". He limits‚ rescues‚ protects and controls Nemo

organism takes on a characteristic from another organism (Bacterial Transformation 2013). For this experiment we used the bacteria E. Coli to take in foreign jellyfish DNA which will allow it to change genetic material. This experiment determines the effects that the plasmid pGLO has in transferring the Green Florescent Protein found in a jellyfish into the bacteria. It determines whether or not pGLO acts successfully as a vector to move genes from one organism to the E. Coli organism (Federoff and Wagner

Africa. Leatherbacks can submerge themselves for several hours if they are not stressed. If they do become stressed and cannot breathe‚ they can drown which often happens if they get caught in commercial fishing nets. A turtle’s favorite food is jellyfish although they eat pretty much anything they can catch. For example‚ they eat mollusks‚ squid‚ and sea urchins along with any other sea creature they can get their mouth on. They can eat almost two times their body weight each day. As eggs‚ raccoons

by saying that an aquarium is identical to a regular zoo and holds fish instead of land animals. However‚ an aquarium typically contains more than just fish it contains multiple marine organisms. Specifically‚ an aquarium contains marine mammals‚ jellyfish‚ corals‚ and sharks including a number of other marine organisms. There is something interesting for a first time visitor to the aquarium which is most of the marine organisms live in communities. What are communities? A community‚ as Tom Garrison

What is the Hawksbill turtle? The Hawksbill turtles have a thin shell. The shell has elaborate colors patterns. The name Hawksbill comes from its pointed beak‚ that resembles much like a birds beak. The turtle is a carnivore so it eats sponges‚ jellyfish‚ shrimp‚ and squids. The Hawksbill turtle is endangered due to the decreasing in pollution in waters. People when they go to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand‚ they don’t realize when they leave their garbage on the beach the wind can sweep it

always by her side like a faithful watchdog. As Woolf relives a memorable day‚ she practically punishes the reader with descriptive language to show just how eventful it really was. Recalling Thoby’s "blue eyes" and the "streaming hair" of the jellyfish‚ Moments of Being almost forces the reader to feel what Woolf did; to experience the misty breeze aboard a ship and the stickiness of the sea. Woolf almost memorizes the affair because of how much it meant to her. She was away from her village in
