DESCRIPTION
Page 43: Lesson 3 Data Collection & Analysis 1. Carefully observe and draw what you see on each of the four plates. Put your drawings in the data table below. A. Be sure to include: a)How much bacterial growth do you see on each plate, relatively speaking? b)What color are the bacteria? c)How many bacterial colonies are on each plate (count the spots you see) Colonies v LawnTRANSCRIPT

Page 42: Lesson 2 Review Questions (do not include these questions in your Formal
Lab
1. On which of the plates would you expect to find bacteria most like the original non-transformed E. coli colonies you initially observed? Explain your predictions
2. If there are any genetically transformed bacterial cells, on which plate(s) would they most likely be located? Explain your predictions.
3. Which plates should be compared to determine if any genetic transformation has occurred? Why?
4. What is meant by a control plate? What purpose does a control serve?

In the first rectangle please trace a copy of your gel
In the second rectangle please cut out ALL photocopies of the gels and tape in with your groups on top. DO NOT GLUE YOU WILL NEED THIS FOR YOUR
FORMAL LAB REPORT!
Page 36: Measurements from gel
Measure from bottom of well to bottom of DNAEstimate size using HindIII…PUT answers in
parenthesis in data chart…follow Mrs. Wait’s directions
Page 40: Semilog Graph
Paper1. Fragment size on Y.
Distance traveled on X2. Using the fragments
from the lambda HindIII , plot the distance traveled in relationship to fragment size. This will be your standard curve which you will use to determine your unknown fragment size from the other three samples.
Order on your gel picture is:L= Lambda E = EcoRIP = PstI H = HindIII

Factors Affecting Restriction Enzyme Digestion
Temperature, restriction enzymes are sensitive to prolonged periods of exposure to heat
Cross contamination of restriction enzymes
Buffer, optimum pHIncubation temperature, maintain
optimum temperature during restriction enzyme activity
