RATE OF OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN A FISH
BACKGROUND:
Respiration by fish includes the uptake of oxygen from the
environment
at sites of gas exchange (typically the gills), the use of oxygen at
mitochondria within individual cells, and the excretion of waste gases to the
environment. Respiration provides oxygen for aerobic conversion of the
energy contained in food to high-energy chemical bonds, such as those
formed when
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is changed to adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). The energy thus stored is then used to keep fish alive
(maintenance) and to allow
fish to move, digest food, grow, reproduce, and
carry out all other energy-requiring functions. Measurements of respiration
often can tell us how a fish is
responding to environmental conditions and
what its physiological state may be. Respirometry gives quantitative
measures of how rapidly energy and oxygen
are used. Respiratory data are
important in the construction of bioenergetics models that can be used, for
example, to calculate capacities for growth and
reproduction. Respiration
rates can be sensitive indicators of altered environmental conditions or
physiological states, and thus can reveal much about a fish's
recent and
current activity, acclimation, and stress.
AIM:
To determine the rate of oxygen consumption by the given fish.
PRINCIPLE OF TEST
When
manganous sulphate is added to the sample of water followed
by alkaline iodide, manganous hydroxide is formed. This combines with

dissolved oxygen present in the water forming manganic hydroxide. This on
acidification in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid release certain
amount of iodine which is equivalent to the amount of oxygen dissolved in
the water. The amount of iodine released is determined by titrating against
0.01 N
sodium thio sulphate solution using 1% starch as an indicator. The
reactions are shown below:

A living tilapia fish is kept in container containing one litre of tap
water. The same tap water is closed in a glass stopper control of bottle
known volume
(250 ml). A fine layer of kerosene is added to the surface of
the experimental medium to prevent mixing with atmospheric air. The
starting time of the
experiment is noted. In this condition the fish is allowed
to respire for half an hour in room temperature. The tap water in the control
bottle is kept under
control during the time of experiment, so that no change
in the medium affect the control, after half an hour the water in the control
bottle is siphoned out into
the analyzing bottle. The volume of analyzing
bottle is determined by Winkler’s method. The difference between the oxygen
in control water and the
experimental water gives the volume of oxygen
consumed by the fish in half an hour.
ESTIMATION OF OXYGEN IN THE WATER SAMPLE:
A reagent
bottle is taken and filled with water. The stopper is replaced
without enclosing any air bubble. After removing the stopper, 1 ml of
Manganous Sulphate and 1
ml of alkaline mixture were added. The
stopper is replaced and the bottle is shaken well to ensure maximum
chemical reaction and hence maximum
absorption of oxygen. This is done
for the uniform distribution by precipitation. Then the precipitate is allowed
by settle down for few minutes. After this 1 ml
of con H2SO4 is added to the
solution and is shaken well till the precipitate is not seen in the bottle. The
burette is rinsed with water and 0.1 N Sodium
thiosulphate, filled with 0.1
N Sodium thiosulphate solution. Initial reading of the burette is noted.
About 50 ml of solution from the bottle is transferred to a
conical flask. To
this 1 ml of 1% starch is added as an indicator. Now the color of the solution
turns to dark blue. This solution is titrated against 0.01 Sodium
thiosulphate and the titration is continued till the blue color disappeared.
This is the achromic point and the final reading is noted. The volume of
Sodium
thiosulphate required for titrated is noted. The titration is repeated
for concordant values. The difference between oxygen content of the control
and of the
experimental bottle gives the volume of oxygen consumed by the
8. 8.

fish in half an hour. Then the fish is removed from the experimental
medium. Weight of the fish is taken. Oxygen consumed by the fish in one
hour is
calculated. The rate of oxygen consumption by the fish is calculated
by using the formula.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON OPERCULUM MOVEMENT OF FISH
BACKGROUND
Fish obtain their oxygen from water by
ventilating their gills.
These breathing apparatus are highly vascularized out pocketing of the body
surface. The operculum, a protective flap, covers and
protects the gills,
which are soft and delicate. The gills are ventilated by pumping water
across them in one direction. Both the mouth and operculum work
together
to pump the water through the mouth, into the gills, and then out to the
sides of the body. Counting gill cover (operculum) movements is a way to
calculate respiration rates in fish. An oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange
occurs. Then the operculum opens to allow the carbon dioxide-rich water to
exit. Fish
are exothermic; their body temperature is the same as water
temperature and changes directly with it. Many physiological processes,
such as metabolic rate,
heart rate, and enzyme activities occur faster as
body temperature increases and slow down at colder body temperature. By
counting gill cover movements,
students are getting an idea of a fishes'
response to an ecological change.

concordant values are obtained. After that hot is added to the water sample
until the temperature of the medium is increased by 5˚c. Again the
experiment is repeated and the number of gill movement per minute are
calculated. This same experiment is repeated with different temperature like
30˚c,
35˚c, 40˚c. The temperature of sample water is decreased by the
addition of ice water and the time taken at 25˚c 20˚c and 15˚c is noted. The

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CARBOHYDRATE
BACKGROUND:
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones or
substances
that hydrolyze to yield polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. Aldehydes (–
CHO) and ketones (= CO) constitute the major groups in carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are mainly divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides and
polysaccharides. The commonly occurring monosaccharides includes
glucose,
fructose, galactose, ribose, etc. The two monosaccharides combine
together to form disaccharides which include sucrose, lactose and maltose.
Starch and
cellulose fall into the category of polysaccharides, which consist
of many monosaccharide residues.
AIM:
To detect the presence of different group
carbohydrate in the given solution.
GENERAL MATERIALS:
0.1% of glucose, Test solution
I. ANTHRONE TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
16. 16.
16
Carbohydrates are dehydrated with concentrated H2SO4 to form “Furfural”,
which condenses with anthrone to form a green color complex which can
be measured by using colorimetrically at 620nm (or) by using a red filter.
Anthrone react with dextrins, monosaccharides, disaccharides,
polysaccharides,
starch, gums and glycosides. But they yields of color where
is to form carbohydrate to carbohydrate.
REAGENTS:
 0.2% anthrone in con H2SO4
 Test
tubes
 Spirit lamp
 2ml pipette.
PROCEDURE:
 Take 2 ml of sample solution in a test tube.
 Add 1 ml of anthrone reagent and mix thoroughly
OBSERVATION:
A bluish green color develops in the test tube indicates the presence of
sugar.
II. FEHLING’S TEST:
This is an important test to detect the
presence of reducing sugars. Fehling’s
solution A is copper sulphate solution and Fehling’s solution B is potassium
sodium tartrate. On heating, carbohydrate
reduces deep blue solution of
copper (II) ions to red precipitate of insoluble copper oxide.
MATERIALS:
 Fehling’s reagent
17. 17.
17
 Test tube
 Holder
 Spit lamp
PROCEDURE:
 Take 5 ml of fehling’s solution in a test tube.
 Add 1ml of test solution to it.
 Mix well and
boil in water bath.
OBSERVATION:
The production of brownish red cuprous oxide precipitate indicates the
presence of reducing sugar.
III. BENDICT’S
TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
The copper sulfate (CuSO4) present in Benedict's solution reacts with
electrons from the aldehyde or ketone group of the reducing sugar.
Reducing
sugars are oxidized by the copper ion in solution to form a carboxylic acid
and a reddish precipitate of copper (I) oxide
MATERIALS:
 Benedict’s
reagent
 Test tube
 Test tube holder
 Sprit lamb
 Measuring cylinder
PROCEDURE:
18. 18.
18
 Take 5 ml of sucrose solution in a test tube
 Add 2 ml of Benedict’s reagent
 Boil for two minutes.
OBSERVATION:
A yellowish- red precipitate
occurs within 2 to 5 minutes indicates the
presence of monosaccharide.
IV. IODINE TEST
Iodine test is used to detect the presence of starch. Iodine is not
much
soluble in water so iodine solution is prepared by dissolving iodine in water
in presence of potassium iodide. Iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of
potassium iodide reacts with starch to form a starch/iodine complex which
gives characteristics blue black color to the reaction mixture.
PROCEDURE:

Take 2 ml of sample solution in a test tube.
 Add 0.5 ml of iodine solution.
 Dilute the solution with distilled water.
OBSERVATION
Appearance of blue
coloration indicates the presence of starch
RESULT:
Sample…………… indicates the presence of carbohydrates in the test
solution.
DISCUSSION:
REVIEW
QUESTIONS:
1. Write a test which helps to differentiate between a disaccharide and a
monosaccharide?
2. If a sample being tested gives a positive result for
Benedict’s test and
Fehling's test, then what will the sample be?

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN
BACKGROUND:
Proteins are large biological molecules composed of α-amino acids
(Amino
acid in which amino group is attached to α-carbon, which exist as zwitter
ions and are crystalline in nature). They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen and sometimes phosphorous and sulphur. Protein is an important
macronutrient essential for survival. They are constituent of calls and hence
are
present in all living bodies. 10-35% of calories should come from protein.
Protein is found in meats, poultry, fish, meat substitutes, cheeses, milk etc.
AIM:
To
detect the presence of protein in the given sample.
BIURET TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
This test is used to detect the presence of peptide bond. When treated
with
copper sulphate solution in presence of alkali (NaOH or KOH), protein
reacts with copper (II) ions to form a violet colored complex called biuret
20. 20.

MATERIALS
Biuret reagent
PROCEDURE:
 Take 2 ml of sample solution in a test tube
 Add 2 ml of Biuret reagent solution to it.
 Mix well and
observe the color.
OBSERVATION:
Development of violet color in 15 minutes indicates the presence of protein.
XANTHO PROTEIN TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
Aromatic amino acids, such as Phenyl alanine, tyrosine and
tryptophan, respond to this test. In the presence of concentrated nitric acid,
the aromatic phenyl
ring is nitrated to give yellow colored nitro-derivatives.
At alkaline pH, the color changes to orange due to the ionization of the
phenolic group.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF LIPID
BACKGROUND:
Lipids are one of the major constituents of foods, and are important in
our
diet for a number of reasons. They are a major source of energy and
provide essential lipid nutrients. Nevertheless, over-consumption of certain
lipid
components can be detrimental to our health, e.g. cholesterol and
saturated fats. In many foods the lipid component plays a major role in
determining the
overall physical characteristics, such as flavor, texture,
mouth feel and appearance. For this reason, it is difficult to develop low-fat
alternatives of many foods,
because once the fat is removed some of the
most important physical characteristics are lost. Finally, many fats are
prone to lipid oxidation, which leads to the
formation of off-flavors and
potentially harmful products. Some of the most important properties of
concern to the food analyst are:
• Total lipid concentration
• Type of lipids present
• Physicochemical properties of lipids, e.g., crystallization, melting
point, smoke point, rheology, density and color
• Structural
organization of lipids within a food.
23. 23.
23
AIM:
To determine the presence of lipids in the given sample.
GREASE SPOT TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
The working principle is that most grease or fat
have a high boiling
point. So, they are non-volatile. In room temperature, the spot of water can
absorb enough heat from the air and evaporated. But the spot of
grease can
never absorb enough heat to evaporate. When the liquid is inside the sheet
of paper, it diffracts light. So, light can pass from one side of the paper to
another side. This gives the phenomenon of "translucent". When there is no
liquid in the paper, there is no diffraction. So, light cannot pass it through.
MATERIALS:
 Coconut oil
 Paper
PROCEDURE
A drop of oil is put over a piece of ordinary paper.
OBSERVATION:
Oil spreads and leaves on oily
impression on the paper. The translucent spot
indicates the presence of fat.
TEST FOR SOLUBILITY:
PRINCIPLE:
The oil will float on water because of
lesser specific gravity.
MATERIALS:
 Take 5 ml of water and chloroform in a separate test tube.
 Add to it a few drops of sample solution and shake well.

The oil drops are completely dissolved chloroform. This indicates the
presence of lipids in the given solution.
EMULSIFICATION TEST:
PRINCIPLE:
When oil and water, which are immiscible, are shaken together, the oil
is broken up into very tiny droplets which are dispersed in water. This is
known as oil
in water emulsion. The water molecule due to the high surface
tensions has a tendency to come together and form a separate layer. This is
why the oil and
water emulsion is unstable in the presence of substances
that lower the surface tension of water. Eg: Sodium carbonate, soap, bile
salts etc.
MATERIALS:

Coconut oil
PROCEDURE:
 Take 2 drops of sample solution in a test tube
 Add 2 ml of water to it and shake vigorously.
OBSERVATION:

DEMONSTRATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE USING
SPHYGMOMANOMETER
BACKGROUND
Blood Pressure (BP) is the force
or pressure which the blood exerts on the
wall of blood vessels. When the left ventricle contracts and pushes blood
into the aorta the pressure produced within
the arterial system is called
systolic blood pressure and in the complete cardiac diastole stage, the heart
is resting following the ejection of blood, the pressure
within the arteries is
called diastolic blood pressure. In adult normal systolic BP ranges about
110-130 mm Hg and the diastolic BP ranges about 70-85 mm Hg
in adult.
A sphygmomanometer is a device that measures blood pressure. It is
composes of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the arm. A
measuring device indicates the cuff's pressure. A bulb inflates the cuff and a
valve releases pressure. A stethoscope is used to listen to arterial blood flow
sounds.
Types
There are two types of sphygmomanometers:
 Manometric
26. 26.
26
 Digital.
A manometric sphygmomanometer is the old-fashioned blood pressure-
measuring device. It is the more accurate of the two types of
sphygmomanometers. A digital sphygmomanometer uses digital readouts.
With this type of sphygmomanometer, the blood pressure reading appears
on a
small screen or is signaled in beeps.
Parts of the Device
A sphygmomanometer usually consists of a:
 A rubber bag surrounded by a cuff.
 A manometer
(usually a mechanical gauge, sometimes
electronic, rarely a mercury column).
 An inflating bulb to elevate the pressure.
 A deflating valve.
WORKING
PRINCIPLE:
A sphygmomanometer consists of a pump, dial, cuff and a valve. To
measure blood pressure, the cuff is wrapped around the arm and then
inflated using the pump. The pressure applied by the cuff closes off the
brachial artery so that no blood flows through. The pressure is then slowly
released and
sounds are detected using a stethoscope placed on the brachial
artery. Blood pressure readings are given as a fraction of two numbers,
120/80 mm Hg for
example. The first number is the systolic pressure; this
27. 27.
27
is the blood pressure when the ventricles of the heart are contracting. The
number is recorded when a sound is heard for the first time as pressure in
the
cuff is slowly relaxed. The second number is the diastolic pressure,
which is the blood pressure in between contractions when the heart is
relaxed. This number
is recorded when the thumping of blood squeezing
through the narrowed brachial artery is no longer heard. It is important to
note that multiple measurements
of a person’s blood pressure must be
made in order to gain an accurate reading.
APPARATUS:
 Sphygmomanometer
 Stethoscope.
METHODS OF USING
SPHYGMOMANOMETER
Open the adjusting screw at the proximal end of the pumping bulb. So
that air is removed from the cuff and tubes. Then wrap the
cuff around the
upper arm just above the elbow joint and fix it with the help of attached
hook in a manner that neither it is too tight nor too loose. While
wrapping
the cuff care should be taken that the tubes attached to it must face
towards the lower end. Then tighten the adjusting screw and pump the air
be
pumping rubber bulb rapidly so that mercury is raised up to 110-120
mm Hg mask in the manometer. Observe the sound of arterial blood
branchial artery with
the help of a stethoscope. Again pump the air slowly
and keep on observing the sound of arterial blood in the branchial artery
with stethoscope to disappear.
As and when sound is not felt, note the
mercury level in the manometer.Pump a litter more air and again note the
proper arterial sound to reappear. This would
be the systolic pressure, now
loose the screw, remove all air and open the cuff and keep the apparatus in
a safe place. The difference in a pressure between
systole and diastole is
called the pulse pressure which is normally 30-35 mm hg. The lower limit
systole pressure in a normal adult is estimated about 105 mm
Hg and the
upper limit about 150 mm Hg. In women the blood pressure is from 5 to 10
mm Hg less than in man.

ACTION OF SALIVARY AMYLASE IN RELATION TO ENZYME
CONCENTRATION
BACKGROUND:
Saliva
mixes up with the food and helps its digestion. That is, the
enzyme ptyalin or amylase present in human saliva hydrolyzes the big
molecules of food into many
molecules. For example starch into mono-
saccnaricies maltose and glucose; proteins into amino acids and fats into
fatty acids and glycerol. Thus saliva not
only helps in digestion of food but
convert it into energy generating substances. Further, enzymes and their
activity are very sensitive to temperature and pH.
Even a slight variation in
these two factors, can disturb the action of enzymes. In other words,
digestion of food by salivary amylase is also effected by pH and
temperature
and can be verified experimentally. For example, hydrolysis of starch can be
verified by testing it with iodine solution. Starch forms blue colored
complex
with iodine. If no starch is present in a system it will not give blue color with
iodine.
AIM:
To determine amylase activity of human saliva in relation
to enzyme
concentration.
MATERIALS:
31. 31.
31
 Test tubes
 Stop watch
 Thermometer
 Pipette
 Porcelain tile
 Glass rod
 Iodine
PRINCIPLE:
The enzyme salivary amylase is present in
saliva and is responsible for the
partial digestion by facilitating the formation of easy absorbable amylase
also known as ptyalin. Amylase activity can be
studied by time taken for the
digestion of standard starch solution. When digestion is proceeding starch is
hydrolyzed to dextrin and the color produced by
iodine is blue. It slowly
changes to reddish violet, brownish violet brown and finally the iodine color.
This point is called acromic point and time taken for
complete hydrolysis of
known amount of starch by a known strength of enzyme is the measure of
amylase activity. First product of the action of the enzyme
amylase in the
substrate. Starch is the formation of an intensive blue color in combination
with summarized as follows.

PROCEDUR
E:
Mouth is washed thoroughly with water and about 5 ml of saliva is
collected in a clean dry test tube. 1 ml of starch is taken in a test
tube and a
drop of iodine is added. The starch gives blue color. To this mixture 1ml of
25% saliva is added and the stop clock is switched on. The test tube is
continuously shaken till the blue color is disappeared. At the time of
disappearance of blue color (achromic point) the stop clock is switched off
and the time
taken is noted. The same procedure is repeated for various
enzyme concentrations like 50%, 75% and 100%. Tabulate the results and
draw a graph marking the

ACTION OF SALIVARY AMYLASE
IN RELATION TO
TEMPERATURE
BACKGROUND:
All enzymes are proteinaceous in nature. At a lower temperature, the
enzyme salivary amylase is
deactivated and at the higher temperature, the
enzyme is denaturated. Therefore, more time will be taken by an enzyme to
digest the starch at lower and higher
temperatures. Optimum temperature
for the enzymatic activity of salivary amylase ranges from 32 °C to 37 °C.
The optimum temperature means that the
temperature at which the enzyme
34. 34.
34
shows the maximum activity. At this optimum temperature, the enzyme is
most active and hence, takes less time to digest the starch.
AIM:
To
determine amylase activity of human saliva in relation to
temperature.
MATERIALS:
 Test tubes
 Stop watch
 Thermometer
 Pipette
 Porcelain tile

PROCEDURE:
5ml of saliva is collected in a clean beaker. In a test tube 3 ml of 1%
starch solution is taken. The test is

ISOLATION OF GENOMIC DNA FROM E. coli
AIM:
To isolate the genomic DNA from E .coli cells.
PRINCIPLE:
The isolation
and purification of DNA from cells is one of the most
common procedures in contemporary molecular biology and embodies a
transition from cell biology to
the molecular biology (from in vivo to in vitro).
The isolation of DNA from bacteria is a relatively simple process. The
organism to be used should be grown
in a favorable medium at anoptimal
temperature, and should be harvested in late log to early stationary phase
for maximum yield. The genomic DNA isolation
needs to separate total DNA
from RNA, protein, lipid, etc. Initially the cell membranes must be disrupted
in order to release the DNA in the extraction buffer.
SDS (sodium dodecyl
sulphate) is used to disrupt the cell membrane. Once cell is disrupted, the
endogenous nucleases tend to cause extensive hydrolysis.
Nucleases
apparently present on human fingertips are notorious for causing spurious
degradation of nucleic acids during purification. DNA can be protected
from
endogenous nucleases by chelating Mg2++ ions using EDTA. Mg2++ ion is
considered as a necessary cofactor for action of most of the nucleases.
Nucleoprotein interactions are disrupted with SDS, phenol or proteinase K.
Proteinase enzyme is used to degrade the proteins in the disrupted cell
soup.
Phenol and chloroform are used to denature and separate proteins
from DNA. Chloroform is also a protein denaturant, which stabilizes the
rather unstable
boundary between an aqueous phase and pure phenol layer.
The denatured proteins form a layer at the interface between the aqueous
and the organic phases
which are removed by centrifugation. DNA released
from disrupted cells is precipitated by cold absolute ethanol or isopropanol.

ESTIMATION OF PROTEIN BY LOWRY’S METHOD
AIM:
To estimate the amount of protein in the given sample by Lowry’s
method.
PRINCIPLE:
The method is based on both the Biuret reaction, where the peptide
bonds of proteins react with copper under alkaline conditions
producing
Cu+, which reacts with the Folin reagent, and the Folin-Ciocalteau reaction,
which is poorly understood but in essence phosphomolybdotungstate is
reduced to heteropolymolybdenum blue by the copper-catalyzed oxidation of
aromatic amino acids. The reactions result in a strong blue color, which
depends
partly on the tyrosine and tryptophan content. The Lowry method
is sensitive to pH changes and therefore the pH of assay solution should be
maintained at 10
- 10.5. . The Lowry method is sensitive to low
concentrations of protein.

Amino Acids
Amino Acids
1. Amino acids
are the building blocks of proteins, each one
corresponding to one or more DNA codon.
2. The physical and chemical properties of a protein are determined by
its constituent amino acids.
3. They consist of an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydrogen
and a group unique to each residue around a central carbon
atom.
4. Amino acids are forming a peptide bond between the amine group of
one amino acid and the carboxyl group of the next.
5. Amino acids are more
soluble in water than they are in ether,
dichloromethane, and other common organic solvents.
6. In a polypeptide chain, the end with the free amine group is
called the
N-terminus and the end with the free carboxylic acid the C-terminus.
56. 56.
56
7. They can be classified according to the core structural functional
groups' locations as alpha- (α-), beta- (β-), gamma- (γ-) or delta- (δ-)
amino acids.
8.
Humans can synthesize about half of the amino acids needed to make
proteins. Other amino acids, called the essential amino acids, must be
provided in the
diet.
9. Amino acids have high melting points, generally over 200 °C.
10.All natural amino acids are L‐amino acids.
11.Essential Amino Acids: Histidine,
Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine,
Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine.

8. It is a non-reducing sugar. It gives red color with iodine. The red
color disappears on boiling and reappears on cooling.
9. The blood always contains
1% glucose. When it exceeds 1% the
excess glucose is transported to the liver and is converted into
glycogen. This process is called glycogenesis.
10.When
blood sugar level is below 1% the liver glycogen is changed
into blood glucose. This process is called glycogenolysis.

energy source during muscle
contraction.
Intestinal Villi
Intestinal Villi
60. 60.

simple twitch can be divided into a latent period, a contraction
phase, and a relaxation phase.
5. The latent period begins at stimulation and typically lasts
about two
milliseconds.

product encoded by that gene.
3. The major steps involved in cloning a gene are:
 Step1: Identification and isolation of gene of interest (from
Genomic
library, cDNA library, Chemical synthesis of gene).
 Step II: joining of this gene into a suitable vector (construction
of recombinant DNA Eg: pBR 322)
I. In
the process, restriction enzymes functions as scissors
for cutting DNA molecules.
II. Ligase enzyme is the joining enzyme that joins the
vector DNA with gene
of interest.
III. The resulting DNA is called the recombinant DNA,
chimera or recombinant vector.
 Step III: Introduction of this vector into a suitable
organism
Introduction of recombinant vector into host cell is achieved by
different gene transfer methods like Electroporation,
Microinjection, Liposome
mediated gene transfer etc.
 Step VI: Selection of transformed recombinant cells with gene of

discovery and mapping, evolution
and development studies, diagnostics and forensics.
86. 86.
86
Method:
 Restriction endonucleases are used to cut high-molecular-weight
DNA strands into smaller fragments.
 The DNA fragments are then
electrophoresedon an agarose gel to
separate them by size.
 Once separated, the fragments are denatured from double-stranded
to single-stranded form by
treatment with sodium hydroxide
(NaOH).
 After the denaturation step a positively charged nylon filter and a
stack of paper towels are placed atop the gel
and fragments are
pulled towards the positively charged nylon by capillary action.
 The membrane is then baked in a vacuum or regular oven at 80 °C
for 2
hours or exposed to ultraviolet radiation (nylon membrane)
to permanently attach the transferredDNA to the membrane.
 The membrane is then exposed to a
hybridization probe solution.
 Hybridization of the probe to a specific DNA fragment on the filter
membrane indicates that this fragment contains DNA
sequence
that is complementary to the probe.
 Excess probe is washed off by reducing NaCl concentration.
 Finally, the radio-labelled fragments are
exposed to X rays film by
autoradiography.
 The position of the fragments on the nylon sheet corresponds to
black bands where X-rays have been absorbed.

STEM CELL
1. Stem cells are cells which can generate new copies of themselves,
and can turn into the more specialized cells (e.g. red blood cells)
that
perform functions in the body.
2. There are different types of stem cells,
a. Some can turn into any cell in the body called pluripotent
stem cells.
b. Some can
only turn into certain cells in one type of tissue
called tissue specific stem cells.
3. Adult and foetal stem cells are tissue specific, they only turn into
certain
types of specialized cells.
4. We all have adult stem cells in many of our tissues which repair
and replenish damaged cells.
88. 88.
88
5. The cells isolated from the embryo give rise to one cell line which
can produce an infinite number of cells.
6. Embryonic stem cells exist only briefly
after fertilization.
7. Human embryonic stem cells are obtained from very early stage
embryos, within 5-6 days of fertilization.
8. Most embryos used in stem
cell research were initially created for
use in IVF and are donated by parents.
9. All types of stem cell are used in basic research to understand how
our bodies
work and develop, and to understand disease.
10.Blood from the umbilical cord, which is rich in stem cells, can be
stored indefinitely for use in later life. Cord
blood can be donated
to public banks, or private companies offer storage for use by the
baby or his/her relatives in later life.
Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorphism (RFLP)
89. 89.
89
 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) is a molecular
method of genetic analysis
 It allows individuals to be identified based on
unique patterns of
restriction enzyme cutting in specific regions of DNA.
For RFLP, the steps are:
1. Separate white and red blood cells with a centrifuge.
2.
Extract DNA nuclei from the white blood cells.
3. Cut DNA strand into fragments using a restriction enzyme.
4. Place fragments into one end of a agarose gel.
5. Use an electric current to sort the DNA segments by length. This
process is called agarose gel electrophoresis.
90. 90.
90
6. Use a sheet of nitrocellulose or nylon to blot the DNA.
7. The sheet is stained so the different lengths of DNA bands are
visible to the naked eye.
8.
By treating the sheet with radiation, anautoradiograph is created.
9. This is an image on x-ray film left by the decay pattern of the
radiation.
10.The
autoradiograph, with its distinctive dark-colored parallel
bands, is the DNA profile.
Some of the applications for RFLP analysis include:
 DNA
fingerprinting. Forensic scientists may use RFLP analysis to
identify suspects based on evidence samples collected at scenes of
crimes.
 Paternity.RFLP is
also used in the determination of paternity or for
tracing ancestry.
 Genetic diversity. The technique can be used in studying evolution
and migration of
wildlife, studying breeding patterns in animal
populations, and in the detection and diagnosis of certain diseases.
 The technique of using RFLP detection of
variation in genomes is a
vital tool in genome mapping and genetic disease analysis.
DOLLY
91. 91.
91
1. Cloning is a process by which a genetically identical individual
organism is produced.
92. 92.
92
2. Dolly the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned, not from a cell
taken from embryos, but from an adult cell.
3. Dolly was cloned by using a
technique known as somatic cell
nuclear transfer (SCNT).
4. For cloning the steps :
 Taking an oocyte (egg cell) and removing its nucleus.
 Then the
nucleus of a somatic (body) cell, which contains the
DNA to be cloned.
 It is implanted into the egg cell from which the nucleus had
been removed.
5. The
cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from
the mammary gland of a 6 years old Finn-Dorsetewe.
6. The unfertilized egg was taken from a
Scottish Blackface ewe.
7. From 277 fertilized eggs, 29 early embryos developed. They were
planted into 13 surrogate mothers. Only one pregnancy went full
term resulting in the birth of Dolly on 5 July 1996.
8. Dolly was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland by British
embryologist Ian Wilmut
9. Dolly lived
her entire life at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
10.Dolly was died on 14 February 2003 as she had developed a form of
lung cancer called
Jaagsiekte and severe arthritis. The disease was
common in sheep kept indoors and Dolly had to be kept indoors
for security reasons.
93. 93.
93
11.A Finn Dorset has a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 years but
Dolly lived for only 6.5 years.
12.Cloning may prove beneficial in saving
endangered and newly
extinct species by resurrecting them from frozen tissue.
TRANSGENISIS
1. Transgenesis is a genetic engineering processes that
remove genetic
material from one species of plant or animal and add it to a different
species.
2. The most common method for producing transgenic animals is
gene
transfer by DNA microinjection, which involves the following steps:
 DNA containing the desired transgene is identified and cloned
(copied tens of
thousands of times in bacteria) before insertion into
the animal host.
 The host animals (cows, pigs, or sheep) are induced to super
ovulate and their eggs are
collected.
 The eggs are fertilized in a laboratory dish.
 Using a fine, hollow needle, a solution of DNA containing the
transgene is injected into the male
pronucleus of the fertilized egg
(the nucleus of the sperm cell that entered the egg) before it fuses
with the female pronucleus.
94. 94.
94
 The transgenic embryos are grown in cell culture and then
implanted into the uterus of a surrogate mother, where they
complete their development.
 Screening is performed to determine which of the offspring have
inherited the transgene.
3. Transgenic organisms have also been developed for commercial
purposes. Examples of transgenic organisms with commercial value:
4. Golden rice: modified rice that produces beta-carotene, the precursor
to vitamin A.
5.
Goats modified to produce FDA-approved human antithrombin
(ATryn), which is used to treat a rare blood clotting disorder in
humans.
6. Goats have also
been genetically modified to produce spider silk.
7. The main drawback of DNA microinjection is its low success rate:
only between 1 and 4 percent of
microinjected eggs result in the live
birth of a sheep, goat, or cow containing the transgene, and about 80
to 90 percent of transgenic embryos die during early
development.
Animal Cloning
95. 95.
95
1. Cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically
identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of
the original.
2.
Animal Cloning is done by somatic cell nuclear transfer
(SCNT) method.
3. This procedure starts with the removal of the chromosomes from
an egg to create
an enucleated egg.
4. The chromosomes are replaced with a nucleus taken from a
somatic (body) cell of the individual or embryo to be cloned.
5. This cell
could be obtained directly from the individual, from cells
grown in culture, or from frozen tissue.
6. They treat the reconstructed egg with chemicals or
electricity to
stimulate cell division.
7. If the egg divides normally and forms a blastocyst (a small clump
of cells that forms after an egg is fertilized), scientists
will transfer
it into a surrogate mother to develop into a new animal.
96. 96.
96
8. The successful implantation of the blastocyst in a uterus can result
in its further development, culminating sometimes in the birth of
an animal.
9.
This animal will be a clone of the individual that was the donor of
the nucleus.
10.Its nuclear DNA has been inherited from only one genetic parent.
Application of Animal Cloning:
 Genetically engineered pigs or suitable breeds of pigs can be
cloned for organ transplantation.
 Population of endangered
species of animals can be increased by
cloning. Cloning can be of immense use in improving the pedigree
of livestock. Superior breeds of animals can be
multiplied by this
technique.
