Mary performs a PCR reaction and runs it on an agarose gel, using 100-bp ladder as her molecular weight standard. She images the gel using UV light and sees NO bands (no band in her PCR reaction and no bands for her ladder). Which of the following could explain these results? Explain each answer.

1. Mary forgot to add Gel Red when pouring the gel.

2. Mary's PCR product had an unusually high % of G and C bases.

3. Mary connected the electrodes to her gel incorrectly, swapping the positive and negative poles.

Four independent assorting genes, A, B, C and D, interact to affect the development of the retina in humans. Individuals who are homozygous recessive for either one of the genes will be able to see, individual who are homozygous recessive for either two or three genes will have diminishing sight. If an individual who has four homozygous recessive genes will be blind. In a cross between two individuals with these genotypes: AaBBccDd x AabbccDd

a. What is the probability that the child will be blind? Show calculations

b. What is the probability that the child AaBbccDD? Show calculations

Your goal for this assignment is to create a wiki-style page in your Canvas Group space that highlights your plant's basic biology and anatomy. Use your group discussion forum this week to plan this page with your group members.


Expectations for this assignment include:
1. at least one image (more is fine) that highlights what your plant looks like (actual + anatomy)
2. a written description of your plant's anatomy, highlighting the plant organ(s) of your plant that have been used by human civilization, use terms learned in this class (in addition to anatomical terms think about whether your plant is a angiosperm or gymnosperm, a monocot or dicot etc). 
3. information about the preferred climate and habitat of your plant


4. a descriptive title and all authors (group members) listed at the top


You should paraphrase everything in YOUR OWN WORDS and footnote any images you include plus all written text that is not common knowledge within your material. Your footnotes at the bottom of the page should be properly referenced.  Dr. Malcolm shared some information to help with that, which you can access here, plus you had practice with it in the Week 1 Discussion forum.


The Tea plant is called Camellia Sinesis is a species of evergreen shrub their leaf buds are used to produce tea. Camellia Sinesis produces six main types of tea White tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong, pu-erh tea, and dark tea. Tea mainly comes from Asia and India. Camellia Sinesis is made into tea through oxidation for instance Green Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Tea. While others go through more careful processes like Dark tea, White teas, and Puer which are more delicate and have more complex method of creation. All of these require extreme care to make because one mistake can cause problems with taste.  Camellia Sinesis likes to grow in places where is warm and it requires a lot of water.

Three genotypes were observed at the S locus in a chicken population. In a sample of 1,120 chickens, the three genotypes occurred in the following numbers. (Please restrict every answer to 4 decimal places)

                  Genotype SS             Ss              ss

                  Number 700           330           90

a.   Calculate the observed allele frequencies

b.   Assuming random mating, calculate the estimated genotypic frequencies under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium

c.   Use Chi-Square to determine whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.

Design a semester long project using RAW cells or mouse macrophages with protocols ranging from counting cells to using flow cytometry with the use of fluorescent microspheres. Other protocols include NO measurement production by Greiss Reaction, detection of apoptosis, western blot. Can use some mice for peritoneal injections with CD11b PE. What I’m trying to say is, if you can design it I can prob execute it.
