Identification of Mystery Plasmids Abstract Plasmids serve as important tools in genetics and biotechnology labs‚ where they are commonly used make many copies of a particular gene. The aim of this experiment was to identify three mystery plasmids based upon their characteristics; such as size‚ antibiotic resistance‚ lacZ profile and conjugative properties. The results obtained showed that plasmid number2 was the pDSK519 plasmid and its size was 26229.58 Bp. Plasmid pDSK519 also was found to be

Colon Cancer Scenario Introduction: Gel electrophoresis is an important molecular biology tool: it enables us to study DNA. It can be used to determine the sequence of nitrogen bases‚ the size of an insertion or deletion‚ or the presence of a point mutation; it can also be used to distinguish between variable sized alleles at a single locus and to assess the quality and quantity of DNA present in a sample. Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating chemical compounds and molecules by their size

INTRODUCTION: Identification of species and origin based on morphological features by using DNA barcoding technique is an important application for molecular biology and genetics. In this study‚ we used special fish called bonito fish. These fishes generally live in relatively warm and hot seas and grow until they reach a length of about 30 inches. Bonito fish have a long pectoral fin and two dorsal fins. Also‚ they have a forked tail. Animal species and their origins can be detected accurately

What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique

1. Aim: Whether If we should reintroduce Litoria phyllochra into Longneck Lagoon. 2. Longneck Lagoon is located in Scheyville National Park‚ 12km North East of Windsor. The national park is made up of 950 hectares of Cumberland Plain Vegetation and it consist of many type of pest plants such as African olive‚ blackberry and lantana‚ vines such as balloon vine and bridal creeper etc. There have been over 140 animal species recorded at the park such as vulnerable swift parrot and turquoise parrot

species. From a young age‚ I have had an appreciation of the importance of science as well as a desire to understand it‚ especially biology. I have always found the human body particularly fascinating. The area of study that is of particular interest to me‚ is the study of cells‚ This brings me to the one career that I would absolutely love to learn more about‚ cell biology. A cell biologist is a scientist
