Summary Introduction

To determine:

The factors that cause the loss of genetic variation in the establishment of a captive population.

Introduction:

The amphibians live on the ground, but they lay their eggs in the aquatic environment. The amphibians reproduce by external fertilization. The eggs are fertilized and hatch into tadpoles. The salamanders and newts have a slender body and a long tail. The salamanders more live in water and less in land, whereas, the newts live in the land more than water.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The ways by which the loss of such variation can be prevented.

Introduction:

The endangered species is an important part of the ecosystems. The increasing human population and exploitation of resources have resulted in the damaging of the ecosystems. The ecosystem conservation is included in the conservation biology. The national parks are the protected areas for the animals and plant species so that they can flourish properly and the endangered species can be saved.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The procedures that should be instituted to ensure the long-term maintenance of as much variation as possible.

Students have asked these similar questions
a) What differences would you expect to see between the -DNA/+Amp and +DNA/+Amp plates?   b) Predict the growth you would expect to see on each of the following plates:         – DNA ___________________________________________________________ – DNA/+Amp ______________________________________________________ +DNA/+Amp ______________________________________________________ +DNA/+Amp/+IPTG _________________________________________________
1)Which plate did you see purple/pink/blue bacterial cells? Why did you see this growth? Explain your answer in terms of transformation and plasmids?  2) Calculating Transformation Efficiency For the +DNA/+Amp/+IPTG plate, record the following:  Number of transformants (colonies): _________________ Nanograms of plasmid DNA added: 50 ng  Final recovery volume: 0.50 mL  Volume plated: 0.25 mL  Transformation efficiency equation: Transformation efficiency = Number of transformants / µg of DNA x Final volume at recovery (mL)/ volume plated (mL) 3) Using the equation above, calculate the transformation efficiency. 4) Describe the success of the transformation efficiency of this demo based on the calculation you did above?
1) Look at the ideal results. Were your predictions accurate, and how did they compare with your results?   2) You used aseptic technique during this lab. Why is it important to work in a sterile manner when working with bacteria in the lab?   3) Why are the cells incubated at 42°C?
