Happy New Year!  
 
I hope everyone enjoyed your break. Unfortunately one of my family members tested positive so I am quarantined and now everyone is distance learning in my classes.
 
This is why there is no Remote Instruction Page this week and probably next.  I am very frustrated but I will do everything I can to keep us moving forward.  Not the what I planned but life is about adjustments.

1.  Played the following animation of Transcription and reviewed Gene to Protein 1 Form through   
      the animation. 
2.  Review the mRNA activity!
 
 

mRNA activity student copy .pdf

 
Please Follow the Instructions below to complete the mRNA activity:
 
Please find your work in the back lab table under the light.
 
1. Complete the Template strand of the DNA by writing the correct complimentary code below the coding strand.
 
2.  Connect a single stranded blank strand that is almost as long your DNA strand. This will be eventually be your mRNA but for now it will be your pre-mRNA (or primary transcript)
This blank strand sheet that needs to be cut out and assembled are on the first desk next to the scissors and tape box.
 
3.  Mark on your DNA strand with a highlighter the promoter region and the termination sequence. If you forget what these small bits of code are for each then grab the text in Chapter 17 and look it up.  
 
The promoter region is telling where to start represents the INITIATION step.
 
*When you look for this code it is helpful to look and the coding strand (The printed code above the Template strand that you filled in).  The coding strand will reveal what the mRNA Strand will look like EXCEPT THAT thymine will be Uracil!
 
4.  Lay your blank RNA strand along the Template Strand (that you filled out) and start making the RNA primary transcript from 15 or so UTR’s  downstream from your promoter region.  It must be in front of the start CODON: AUG which will look like ATG on the Coding strand!   So start coding the mRNA strand remembering to use Uracil instead of  THymine.  
 
Writing the code on the single strand mRNA is the ELONGATION step.
 
5. Keep coding until you complete the terminating sequence. At this point your primary transcript (pre-mRNA) will be detached from the Template Strand of the DNA. This is where RNA polymerase detaches from the template strand of the DNA.  
 
Stopping the code and detaching the pre-RNA is the TERMINATION step.
 
6.  Now you have to make your pre-RNA into the processed mRNA that can leave the nucleus of a eukaryote cell and move into another area of the cell that will Translate the mRNA Codons into proteins.  
 
Alteration of the mRNA Ends
 
7. You must modify the ends of this pre-mRNA. You may have look up in the text (page 334) or look below to remember how the ends of the RNA are modified.  You may have to add some blank strands to the ends to make the caps.
This modification facilitates the export of the mRNA out of the nucleus, protects it from it being broken down by enzymes, and helps ribosomes to attach it for Translation.
 
RNA Splicing
 
8. On your pre-mRNA that has its end capped appropriately in step 7, use a highlighter to identify the EXONS.  The Exons are the triplet codons that are expressed.  In your packet you have the code for the entire gene including the start codon and stop codon.  So highlight  ONLY the Triplet CODON in the RNA strand that is in your packet or below.

The code will go in order but it will have many UTR’s (Untranslated REgions) that are not part of the code and these are INTRONS!!!!

After you have highlighted all of the EXONS Physically cut away all of the INTRON in between the start and stop codon and retape (splice) the RNA back together so that there is a continuous code of EXONS from start to stop.  At this point you are acting as snRNA (snurps) in a splicesome!

Your pre-mRNA IS NOW a mRNA and can leave the nucleus to begin Translation.

9.  Roll up your DNA and completed mRNA and place on top of your packet with group names and return this back to the lab area you picked up your work today.

1.  Gene 2 protein form 2 review:
 
        Hand back Gene to Protein Form 2 – 
 
        a) Connections of Alternative RNA Splicing – nematodes and us
        b) having introns allows for an increased opportunity for Crossover to unlink for genes.
             This might might provide more terrain from crossovers without  
             interrupting coding sequences. 
         c)  exon shuffling – Exons could shuffle from one chromosome to another in crossover and with   
             Alternative RNA Splicing this might provide new combinations of exons and thus possibly new               proteins that may have lead to evolutionary advantages.

 Homework: 
 

1. Complete the FAST Plant (Lab 1).

 
Please include recombinant information.
Please include Genetic Drift information – allele frequency change from one generation to the next.
Fast Plant: Lab
 
P1: (this was the parents of our original seeds)        ANL/ANL  YGR/YGR  x   anl/anl  ygr/ygr
 
                                                                                                  Purple Stems   Green Leaves            Green stems   yellow leaves
 
F1: (this was the genotype of the seeds we first planted) :     ANL/anl  YGR/ygr   x   ANL/anl  YGR/ygr
     Carriers of the parental alleles
                                                                                                  Purple Stems   Green Leaves         Purple Stems   Green Leaves
 
F2(this was the generation of the seeds of OUR second planting:  There will be 4 different phenotypes:
                                                                                     
                                                                          Parental:      Purple Stems, Green Leaves
                                                                                                   Purple Stems, Yellow Leaves
                                                                                                   Green Stems, Green leaves
                                                                          Parental:      Green Stems,Yellow leaves
When doing the % recombinants, remember that we are determining the parental phenotypes of the ORIGINAL Parental Generation (P1).  The dihybrid cross is a cross of the carriers of the parental alleles. 
 
Because both parents are undergoing recombination we will divide our percent recombinants by 2 to get the corrected percent recombinants (which will now represent the morgan unit on a gene map).
 
I will do a separate test cross with (homozygous recessive plants with F2) next year to provide better data!

1.    CASE:  NY23A-ER67-10299  DOCKET: 345-2788

           

Two different DNA samples were recovered in a horrific tragic traffic accident.  Apparently, an elderly women was traveling home alone from a family gathering in December and was injured.  The woman has been unconscious since the accident so there are no eyewitnesses.  The crack WHB CSI team has collected a small sample of DNA from the scene. They have performed the technique of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to amplify the signal and they have Sequenced the entire DNA fragments which is given below.  

 

Fragment 1:  Found on clothing of victim
