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 each colored allele combination.

-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 alleles: Green 1, white, red, yellow, blue- alleles for the colors

True breeding:

CgCg green CrCr red CwCw white CbCb blue CyCy yellow
