1 Is a bioluminescent jellyfish, or hydromedusae, that is found off the west coast of North America from Alaska to southern California. The species is particularly common in the Puget Sound. The jelly fish is almost entirely transparent and colorless, with up to 150 tentacles. Both sexual and asexual. Organism produces green fluorescent protein. The protein emits a green flourescence when exposed to light. This protein is composed of 238 amino acids. You already inserted this protein into bacteria! Question: If there are 238 amino acids, how many codons must there be? How many nucleotides in the organism's DNA code for this protein? Organism of the Day: Aequorea victoria

Is a bioluminescent jellyfish, or hydromedusae, that is found off the west coast of North America from Alaska to southern California. The species is particularly common in the Puget Sound. The jelly fish is almost entirely transparent and colorless, with up to 150 tentacles. Both sexual and asexual. 

Organism produces green fluorescent protein. The protein emits a green flourescence when exposed to light. This protein is composed of 238 amino acids. You already inserted this protein into bacteria!

Question:If there are 238 amino acids, how many codons must there be? How many nucleotides in the organism's DNA code for this protein?

Complete Laboratory Investigation

1. Work with your lab group to answer the remaining questions at the assigned desk.

2. Analyze your petri dishes and I will help you to answer questions. 

3. You may use colored pencils to color pictures if you finish early.

Note: some where successful with the transformation, others were not. We learned a lot of laboratory techniques for the first time. There was plenty of room for error!
