Contents
Purpose
- Identify the differences in amino acid sequences of alleles.
- Identify what features of amino acid sequences of a protein are associated with pigment and color.
- Explain how genotype-phenotype rules apply to how how colors combine to produce a new color.
- Identify what proteins are present in each of the four starting organisms.
- Construct a purple protein using the information gathered of the biochemistry of plant color.
Methods
- Compare the proteins in the starting strains and compare the differences in allele, color, and amino acid sequence.
- Compare the particular colors' protein sequence to the "sample protein"
Results
a) Proteins Produced in each of the four starting organisms:
| Starting Organism | Protein Produced by Allele 1 | Protein Produced by Allele 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Green-1 | Green-Colored Protein | Green Colored Protein |
| Green-2 | Blue-Colored Protein | Yellow-Colored Protein |
| Red | Red-Colored Protein | None |
| White | White-Colored Protein | White Colored Protein |
