Document Summary
Lesson 1 chlamydomonas: relatedness of chlamydomonas to plants and animals. Huge chloroplast, has eyespot inside is an animal trait: relationship between genome size and protein coding genes. Humans have 20x the amount of coding of genome. Human genes only code for 5000 more proteins: chlamydomonas lifecycle, basics of insertional mutagenesisforeign dna, electroporation, plating on agar plates Insertional mutagenesis: inserting piece of foreign dna into a new genome. Foreign dna: dna from a different genome. Electroporation: combination with an electric charge between chlamydomonas cells and antibiotic. A genetic screen is a procedure used to detect a mutant organism: characteristics of chlamydomonas that make it a useful model system. Light is used as energy and information: reasons why chlamydomonas might move towards a light source. It may move toward a light source so that it is in a more beneficial spot to consume light.
