Ckaplan Week 2

Lab report Week 2:

Aipotu II: Biochemistry

Purpose:

The purpose of this Aipotu learning lab: Biochemistry: was to explore the expression of alleles in flowers through self and cross breeding a multitude of colors. The colors of the flowers included red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and black. The job of my lab partner and I was to find the amino acid sequence that coded for and produced a purple flower.

Combined Methods/Results (Electronic Lab Notebook):

• Notes:

Writing the individual letters of the amino acids and clicking fold made Green 2 combines- Blue: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTyrCysArgGin Yellow: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTrpCysArgGin Self cross green 2: has blue and yellow alleles. Blue 1 and Red 1 crossed made purple flowers. Yellow 1 and Purple 1 crossed made orange. Red and green 1 made black Green and Red made Purple. Yellow and Red made all orange. Yellow and white makes all yellow. Green and white makes a mix of blue and yellow. -True breeding Green 1, white, red, yellow, blue- alleles for the colors
