(a)

Summary Introduction

To create: A data table for all sampling sites by estimating the frequencies of lap94 allele using a pie chart.

Introduction: Mytilus edulis also known as marine blue mussel is found along the coastal line of the Northern Atlantic Ocean, including Europe, North America, and the Northern Palearctic. It is adapted to high salinity environment due to the presence of a locus for a particular allele, lap94. Lap (leucine amino-peptidase) cleaves the n-terminal amino acids from short peptides and releases free amino acids to the cytosol and thus regulates the mussel’s internal saltwater balance through osmoregulation.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph representing frequencies for sites 1-8 with respect to increasing salinity in Long Island Sound and to compare the data of sites 9-11 to the data from sites within the Sound.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To construct: A hypothesis to explain (1)the maintenance of mussels osmotic balance in high salinity environment by lap94 allele but is costly to use in less salty water and (2) long distance dispersal of mussels larvae before their settlement on rocks and grow into adults.

Overview of Transformation Protocol   -Prepare competent bacteria for transformation: Treat starter E. coli bacteria with CaCl2and Competent Cell Solution (CCS). Store on ice until transformation procedure. Competent cells are cells that are likely to take up foreign DNA and be transformed. This step increases the likelihood that the E. coli cells will take up the introduced vector and be transformed. -Transformation procedure: Obtain two microcentrifuge tubes containing your competent cells. Label one tube +DNA and one -DNA. Add CaCl2 to both tubes. Add the transformation mix containing the plasmid DNA to the tube labeled +DNA. Do not add any plasmid DNA to the -DNA tube. Incubate both tubes on ice for 10 minutes. Then, place both tubes in a 42\deg C water bath for 45 seconds. Replace the tubes in an ice bucket for 2 minutes. Add recovery broth to both tubes. Incubate both tubes in a 37 C water bath for 5 minutes.   Questions: 1)What is the selectable marker in this experiment? How…
Based on your results, which suspect's DNA best matches the DNA found at the crime scene?
In oxidase test with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the cell cultures on the slide turn colorless to be purple after tetra-methyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (TMPD) is added. In the reaction, OTMPD is electron acceptor O cytochrome c is the electron source oxygen is terminal electron acceptor OH2 produced is electron donor
