Document Summary
2. relationship between genome size and protein coding genes. 4. basics of insertional mutagenesisforeign dna, electroporation, plating on agar plates 5. what is bleomycin, how is it used in the isolation of mutants. 7. characteristics of chlamydomonas that make it a useful model system. 8. advantages and disadvantages to being haploidboth for the experimenter and for chlamy out in the real world. 9. reasons why chlamydomonas might move towards a light source. 10. reasons why chlamydomonas might move away from a light source. 11. possible mutations that could cause a chlamydomonas cell not to be phototactic. To make proteins, they have to infect living cells and essentially hijack their translational machinery and metabolism to reproduce: for this reason, most scientists do not consider viruses to be alive. These elegantly complex structures are the product of the activities of thousands of termites. Remarkably, there is no master plan that is followed or queen that gives instructions.
