- Black men are more likely to get prostate cancer than other men. You are working on a prostate cancer project. You want to isolate cancer cells from a diseased prostate and culture the cells. Akilah, your lab partner uses a procedure to isolate the prostate cancer cells. You decide you want to culture the cells for various types of biological analysis. Write up the procedure used to culture the prostate cancer cells You froze some of the prostate cancer cells for future experiments. How did you freeze the cells?Now you and your team decided to analyze the genetic material. Your lab mate isolated the DNA from the prostate cancer cells. You isolated the RNA from the prostate cancer cells. Write up the procedure you used to isolate the RNA Your lab mate does Northern blotting to visualize the RNA expression. You are interested in two genes that are overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. Write up or illustrate the procedure you used to run the Northern blot in your own words.Alex,…arrow_forwardMicroscope As the mechanical stage is moved, the image moves in the same direction that the stage moves the image moves in the opposite direction that the stage moves the image moves left if the stage moves left while it moves up as the stage moves down the image moves right if the stage moves left while it moves down as the stage moves downarrow_forwardTypes of Dyes/Stains According to Charge: Staining procedure Charge of the chromophore/ colored ion Charge of the target cellular structure Applications/Target cell structurelsites Dye Examples Positive Staining Negative stainingarrow_forward
