resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood‚ Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase‚ an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and Strachan 2011). The aim of this experiment is to incorporate a cDNA called CIH-1‚ from plasmid pBK-CMV‚ into pUC19. DNA cloning is dependent on type 2 restriction endonuclease enzymes. They function

ups Identifying food groups in unknown solutions Aim The aim of this experiment is to identify different food groups within several different unknown solutions. This will be carried out by placing the unknown solutions into separate test tubes and using different chemical indicators to see if any reactions occur. Each food group will act different when the chemical indicator is added‚ some will change colour while others will separate. Introduction Food is a vital source of energy that is

Section The concept of this experiment was to analyze the enzyme Amylase and its environmental behavior. Amylase breaks down the biological macromolecule‚ carbohydrates‚ specifically starch into condensed subunits categorized as monosaccharaides or disaccharides. Two types of variables were human and fungal Amylase. Sum of six trials for both variables were conducted with two minutes intervals was measured for the duration. After every two minutes‚ the components were taken out of their controlled environment

is the solute concentration of potatoes? We can determine this by conducting an experiment in which involves the process of osmosis. Potatoes are full of sucrose used for energy storage in plants. Sucrose is a carbohydrate found in food. It is a disaccharide‚ with a combination of fructose and glucose. Consumers break sucrose down into two monosaccharides so they can be absorbed more easily into the blood. Sucrose is too large of a molecule to diffuse through a semi-permeable membrane‚ and therefore
