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:

- Questions:
a) Which proteins are found in each of the four starting organisms? Green 1:MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTyrTrpArgGln Green 2: Combination of Blue MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTyrCysArgGln and yellow MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTrpCysArgGln Blue: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTyrCysArgGln Yellow: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValTrpCysArgGln Red: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValPheCysArgGln White: MetSerAsnArgHisIleLeuLeuValValCysArgGln
