"This study will concentrate solely on the molecular characterization of seaweed samples collected on Panglao island inSouth-Central Luzon, Philippines. Molecular data will be limited to DNA sequences, with identification relying heavily on Genbank returns via blastN. The researchers would obtain their samples from the generated database and analyze the DNA barcode of each macroalgae. The researchers would also compare the previous list of discovered seaweeds from Panglao island to generate a new and updated version for this study. The research would no text end outside or to the neighboring islands around Panglao, Bohol. Neither would the researchers add or include specimens that did not appear in the database or originate from Panglao island. The data to be considered would also not discuss or include the entire taxonomic key of each available sample."

Question -Esther is completing her PhD project in bacterial distribution in mangroves and theirbiochemical characteristics. She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence. Using a diagram explain what could havehappened to the isolates when she re-streaked them repeatedly and recommend a solutionto prevent this from occurring in the future and give explanation why it is moreadvantageous.

To cope with the complexity of the body and to evade the multiple layers of defense that tissues and organs have, it is critical to rely on the ability of certain materials to interact with, rather than to eschew, the biology of our body. Every NP system conceived to date faces one common fate: whether injected,…arrow_forwardTask A: Polymerase Chain Reaction Master Mix Your first task is to isolate and amplify the NRAS gene from cDNA extracted from different samples through PCR. You will need to run a total of 7 PCRs: 3 normal samples, 3 cancerous samples, and 1 negative control. To make things easier in the lab, when running multiple reactions, the components are prepared not individually, but as a master mix—all the components for multiple reactions are prepared in bulk, except for the template DNA, which is added separately once the master mix has been distributed into individual tubes. The table below lists the different components for PCR, the available stock concentrations of these components, and the needed working concentrations for the PCR itself. Complete the table by supplying the needed volumes of each component for a single reaction and for the master mix (the first row has been filled in as an example).arrow_forward
