Lab 7

• Sickle cell anemia: identifying sickle cells which can cause blood clots and lack of oxygen to the body parts resulting in organ failure
• Gel electrophoresis to seperate hemoglobin proteins, sickle cell is negative charged and will go positive side
• Materials: electrophoresis machine, pipet, gel plate, salty solution.
• Transcription and translation- meant to show us how genes work
• Two step process: transcription in the nucleus and Translation in the cytoplasm
• Genetic architecture: get a better sense of how alleles fit together, and determine what the parental phenotypes were through looking at the offspring
• Materials: Punnet squares, Rebop, random alleles in an envelope.
