19
Q

discussion

enumerate the steps in genomic DNA protocol

separate in each phase

A

SAMPLE PREP
1. sample (if oral, use saline mouth wash)
2. cell lysis
3. centrifuge to separate the cells
3. add instagene matrix to lyse check cells
4. dry bath 100C for 5 mins
5. water bath 56C for 10 mins

REAGENT PREP
1. master mix prep

PCR AMPLIFICATION/ANALYSIS
1. denaturation
2. annealing
3. extension
4. gel electrophoresis
5. stain the gel
6. visualize the gel under UV

should have a band that indicates PCR was successful.

20
Q

discussion

enumerate the steps in gel electrophoresis

what’s the complete name of the electrophoresis we used?

A
  1. prepare agarose
  2. prepare gel cating tray
  3. electrophoresis prep
  4. electrophoresis loading
  5. staining of agarose gel

agarose gel electrophoresis

21
Q

discussion

principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the nex in the absence of distrurbing factors.

A

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

22
Q

discussion

how to calculate genotypic frequencies?

A

number of category / total number

23
Q

discussion

negatively charged, microscopic beads that chelate or grab, metal ions out of solution. traps metal ions, such as Mg2+ which are required as catalysts or cofactors in enzymatic reactions

but what is the function?

A

instagene matrix

binds cellular magnesium ions
