Shamealle Blackmon Due November 16, 2015 Bi 240 A Lab DNA Analysis Report Bacteria Staph(A) VS Cyanobacteria(B) Staph and cyanobacteria are both bacteria but very differnet when it comes to their genetic makeup. For example the Q which is glutamine and the E which is for glutamine acid are similar yet different and would cause a disruption in the coding process. A simple mutation like this could account for new strands of disease or a strain resistance. Glycine and Threonine are two totally different amino acids. Glycine is the smallest of the 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins, and indeed is the smallest possible. The formula is NH₂CH₂COOH. Its codons are GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG of the genetic code. Threonine is an essential, polar α-amino acid, with the formula HO₂CCHCHCH₃. Together with serine, threonine is one of two proteinogenic amino acids bearing an alcohol group. The arrangement of the genes coding for BlaR1 and BlaI resembles the mecA system suggesting that mecA may have acquired the regulatory genes from the blaZsystem sometime in the past12. The operator regions are similar enough to allow BlaI to regulate PBP2a expression13. Consequently, the presence of a plasmid carrying the blaZ regulatory genes can render PBP2a expression inducible under the control of BlaR1 and BlaI, a situation that commonly occurs in clinical isolates of MRSA. sequenceA SequenceB MSRQDKKLTGVFGHPVSDRENSMTAGPRGPLLMQDIYFLEQMSQFDREVIPERRMHAKGS -MTEDKTLTTADGIPVADNQNSLTAGERGPILMQDFHLMEKLAHFNRERIPERVVHAKGA :**.** . * **:*.:**:*** ***:****::::*::::*:** **** :****: sequenceA SequenceB GAFGTFTVTKDITKYTNAKIFSEIGKQTEMFARFSTVAGERGAADAERDIRGFALKFYTE AAFGTFTVTHDITRYTKAHLFSEIGKQTQVLLRFSTVGGEQGSADAERDPRGFAIKFYTE .********:***:**:*::********::: *****.**:*:****** ****:***** sequenceA SequenceB EGNWDLVGNNTPVFFFRDPKLFVSLNRAVKRDPRTNMRDAQNNWDFWTGLPEALHQVTIL EGNWDVVGNNTPVFFIRDPLKFPDLIHTQKRHPQTHLKDADAKWDFWSLSPEALHQITIL *****:*********:*** * .* :: **.*:*.::**: :****: ******:*** sequenceA SequenceB MSDRGIPKDLRHMHGFGSHTYSMYNDSGERVWVKFHFRTQQGIENLTDEVAAEIIATDRD FSDRGTPKNHRHMDGFGSHTFSLINDRGERVWCKFHFKTMQGIDNFTAAEATRIKGEDPD :**** **: ***.******:*: ** ***** ****:* ***:*:* *:.* . * * sequenceA SequenceB SSQRDLFEAIEKGDYPKWTMYIQVMTEEQAKNHKDNPFDLTKVWYHDEYPLIEVGEFELN HATRDLFEAIDQGNYPKWRFCIQVMTEAQAAEYRENPFDLTKVWKHSEFPLIDVGILELN : *******::*:**** : ****** ** ::::********* *.*:***:** :*** sequenceA SequenceB RNPDNYFMDVEQAAFAPTNIIPGLDFSPDKMLQGRLFSYGDAQRYRLGVNHWQIPVNQPK RNPQNFFAEVEQAAFSPSNVVPGISFSPDKVLQSRIMSYPDAQRYRLGANYQQLPVNQPK ***:*:* :******:*:*::**:.*****:**.*::** ********.*: *:****** sequenceA SequenceB GVGIENICPFSRDGQMRVVDNNQGGGTHYYPNNHGKFDSQ-PEYKKPPFPTDGYGYEYNQ CP----VMHYQRDGAMAL-GNNGGSGPNYEPNSHEDAPKQNSAYAEPAWDLGNVKVDRYD : :.*** * : ** *.* .* **.* . .* * :* : : : sequenceA SequenceB RQDDDNYFEQPGKLFRLQSEDAKERIFTNTANAMEGVTDDVKRRHIRHCYKADPEYGKGV HRKGNDDYTQAGDLYRLMKPDAQQRLVANIADSLSAAKPEIQMRQLCHFFRADPNYGRQV ::. :: : * *.*:** . **::*:.:* *:::.... ::: *:: * ::***:**: * sequenceA SequenceB AKALGIDINSIDLETENDETYENFEK AEGLGIAIDPSMMSAATQPVGV---*:.*** *: :.: .: . Protist The taxonomic kingdom Protista is a collection of single-celled organisms that do not fit into any other category. Protists are a group made up of protozoa, unicellular algae, and slime molds. The deoxyribonucleic acid of protists , like that of other eukaryotes is organized in long molecules called chromosomes within the nucleus. When the cell divides, these chromosomes replicate (dupl icate themselves) and then divide in a process called mitosis. Among some protists, the nuclear membrane (the thin layer around the nucleus) stays intact during mitosis, whereas in plants, animals, and fungi the nuclear membrane breaks down Red Algae(A) vs Green Algae(B) Red algae are mainly found in the marine environment while green algae are found in many environments like fresh water, snow, attached to tree barks and in symbiosis with fungi and lichens. Red algae can live in the deep sea because they absorb high energy blue light and green algae are restricted to low tide areas because they absorb red light, which has lower energy. Red algae are used as a food source while green algae are considered as potential bio-fuels sequenceA sequenceB MTMAGRRLWVTAAAAAVVVAAATAAAGHPGSPHAEGPYTSEFGTLVGDDRNTLSAGPRGP ---------------------MDPSKVRPSSAYNSPYWTTNSGAPVWNNNNSMTVGPRGP : :*.* : . :*:: *: * ::.*:::.***** sequenceA sequenceB QLVQDTRAFEKLARFNRERIPERVVHARGTGAHGVFESYGDQSALTRAGFLGGAGRKTEV ILLEDYHLIEKLAQFDRERIPERVVHARGAAAKGFFEVTHNVSHLTAADFLRAPGVQTPV *::* : :****:*:*************:.*:*.** : * ** * ** . * :* * sequenceA sequenceB FVRFSTVIHSKGSPETLRDPRGFAVKFKIAEKYGGGIWDLVGNNLDVFFIRDQVSFPDMV IVRFSTVVHERGSPETLRDPRGFAVKFYTR----EGNYDMVGNNMPVFFIRDGMKFPDMV :******:*.:**************** * :*:****: ****** :.***** sequenceA sequenceB HSLKPDPVTNIQDPNRFFDFFGALGGA----ATNMLTTLYSDLGTPATLREMNGHSVHAY HAFKPNPKSHIQEAWRIMDFLSHHPESAHMASFGRLTFLLDDAGIPLNYRHMPGFGVHTF *::**:* :.**: *::**:. : : ** * .* * * . *.* *..**:: sequenceA sequenceB KLISAERKVTYVKFQWTSMQGIRNFTAAEAMHMQARDFNHATRDLYDSIHSGKNPSWELR KLINRAGKETYVKFHWIPKCGEKYLLDDEAVLVGGANHSHATKDLYDAIAAGDYPEWTLM ***. * *****:* * : : **: : . :..***:****:* :*. *.* * sequenceA sequenceB VQVMPSDRMYKLDFDPLDATKRWPEWIAPFKTIGRMTLNRVPDNFFQATESVAMSPGTFL IQTMDPADEDKFDFDPLDVTKTWPESLFPLQPVGRMVLNRNVDNFFNDNEQVAFCPAIIV :*.* *:******.** *** : *:: :***.*** ****: .*.**:.*. :: sequenceA sequenceB PGAIEPSEDKLLQGRLVSYPDTQRYRLGANYADLPINRPVSPVRSYAQDGAGNNGAMKGT PGI-GYTDDKLLQTRIFSYADTQRHRLGPNYLLLPVNAPRCPHHNNHHEGFMNIMHRDEE ** ::***** *:.** ****:*** ** **:* * .* :. ::* * . sequenceA sequenceB LNYGLSMTMPTFPTTHAALFSESKVCDVVTQAPIPVTADFAQAGELYNSYNWRERANLIA INYFPSRFDPVRNAERVAAVSTAPLSGRREKVVIAKENNFAQAGARWRSFDPARQERLVV :** * *. : :.* .* : :. :. * :***** :.*:: .: .*:. sequenceA sequenceB NLAGDLGQVRSML-VRNTMCSHFYKAHKQFGRRIARAVDCDMKVVKKMADALDG RVADMLADPRCTQEIRRIWVGYWSQADPQLGSRIAAKLQGRGCL---------.:* *.: *. :*. .:: :*. *:* *** :: : Diatoms(A) vs Brown Algae (B) There are more than 200 genera of living diatoms, and it is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 extant species. Diatoms are a widespread group and can be found in the oceans, in freshwater, in soils and on damp surfaces. Diatoms[6] are a major group of algae, and are among the most common types of phytoplankton. Diatoms areunicellular, although they can form colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons. Diatoms are amazing often beautiful microscopical algae whose typical feature is a siliceous coverage, called frustule, extremely diverse in shape. Diatoms live in almost all types of superficial waters. Depending on their habitats, diatoms are either planktonic, benthic, or both planktonic and benthic. The ecological requirements of many diatom species areknown and therefore many diatom-based indexes of water quality have been developed and are used to monitor water quality. sequenceA sequenceB MGSDSKCPFAPKMNKAASANSYWWPDNINLKILNQQGANNPDPSFNYKEAFRELDVEMVK MGRDKATSQIE------------------------------------------------** *. sequenceA sequenceB RDVNKMLTTSQDWWPADWGHYGPFMIRMAWHAAGTYRISDGRGGANTANQRFAPLNSWPD ------------------------------------------------------------ sequenceA sequenceB NANLDKARRLMWPVKQKYGRKLSWGDLMMLTGNQALEIMGLKTIGFAFGREDIYSPEDDV ----------------EFARATSSGGTMTGSNGRPLESLT-----------------ESQ ::.* * * * : : ** : :. sequenceA sequenceB YWGPEKEMLSNDRFDENGDIKRPLGASEMGLIYVNPEGHDNEPNPTKSAHDIR-QTFRNM TAGPG----------------GPITLQDYTLIDH-LAHFDRERIPERVVHAKGAGAFGYF ** *: .: ** .*.* * : .* :* : sequenceA sequenceB AMDDYETVALIAGGHTFGKTHGAAPVSH----QGPEPEGASIEHQQLGYLSDYGTGKGKD EVTTPE-LKGLCKGKMFSHVGKRTPVAVRFSTVGGESGSADTARDPRGFAVK-------: * : :. *: *.:. :**: * * .*. :: *: . sequenceA sequenceB TTTSGLEGAWTETPIQWDMNYFKNLFEYEWEVHKGPGGRHQWRPTDKSTFEMVPDAHEKG --FYSEEGNWDLVGNNTPIFFIRDPILFPSFIHTQ-------------------KRNPRT . ** * . : : :::: : : :*. . . : sequenceA sequenceB KKNPPMMFTTDISLKIDPI------YGPI-SRHFYHHPDEF--------SAAFAKAWYKL HLKDPDMFWDFISLRPETTHQVSFLFSDRGTPDGYRHMNGYGSHTFKNVNAQGNAVWVKY : : * ** ***: : :. : . *:* : : .* .* * sequenceA sequenceB LHR-----------------------------------------------DMGPVSRCLG HFKTDQGIRNLPAGEADVMQATNPDHAIQDLYNAIADGTPPSWTVYVQVMGLEEAARCSF .: : .:** sequenceA sequenceB SDVPEPQLWQDPIPSL---DHELIDDEDV---AKLKK----------------------NPFDVTKVWPHADYPLREVGRMVLNRNPTNYFAEVEQMAYAPSNMIPGIEPSPDKMLQGR . . ::* . * : ::: : . *:::: sequenceA sequenceB --------------------------------QILGSTGIAGKIL--------GSSGPCV LFSYNDTHRHRLGANYQQIPVNRPFNAKVQPYQRDGPMRVDGNMTDAPNYFPNSFSGPAA * * : *:: . ***.. sequenceA sequenceB SELVKVAWGSACT------YRGTDHR-----------GGANGARIRLAPQNTWKVNDPEE ADPSHAGWHAERATGDVARYPTGDDDNFTQAGEFFRRTLDEGGRQRLTDNIAGALSGAQE :: :..* : : * *. :*.* **: : : :. :* sequenceA sequenceB L--KRVLEHLEQIQLDFNEQQKGSNKRVSLADLIVLGGCAAIEYAAKNAGNDINIPFSPG FIQKRAIANFAAADADYG-----RLISEKIKALARAGGSAASRVA--------PQPLNPP : **.: .: : *: .: * **.** . * *:.* sequenceA sequenceB RTDASSEQTVAESFDALEPSADGFRNYLKEGQSAKPEELLLNHAHLLTLTSPEMTVLLGG R-------TVPKPYAAVHAKGRGASSL--------------------------------* ** : : *:. .. * . sequenceA sequenceB LRVLKANTGNSEMGVFTKNPETLTNDFFVNLLDINTTWSSVEQDKNLFDGLEYGTGKLNW ------------------------------------------------------------ sequenceA sequenceB KASRFDLIFGSNSELRAIAEYYGSDDSNEVFLKDFVKAWTKVMELDRFDLK --------------------------------------------------- Slime Molds vs Brown Algae The molecular weight of single-stranded DNA from the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has been determined by alkaline gradient centrifugation. Until recently, the slime moulds were regarded as organisms of uncertain taxonomic status, claimed as fungi by mycologists and as protozoa by protozoologists. To make things worse, several groups of organisms have been included in the general term 'slime mould'. They include the cellular slime moulds which are unicellular amoeboid organisms such as Dictyostelium; the endoparasitic slime moulds such as the damaging plant pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae (clubroot disease of cruciferous crops), and the plasmodial slime moulds such as Physarum species.Analysis of DNA sequences has now shown clearly that all these groups are evolutionarily distinct from one another, and also distinct from the fungi.

However, there are some fundamental and significant differences of structure unique to the pteridophytes and a specialized terminology has evolved to descdribe these. The most obvious difference between the pteridophytes and the remainder of the vascular plants is that the ferns and their allies do not produce large floral or reproductive structures that give rise to seeds which eventually develop into the next generation of plants. Pteridophytes reproduce and disperse by means of microscopic spores, the structure and development of which is every bit as intricate and amazing as the flowers of the higher plants. Bryophyte is a traditional name used to refer to all embryophytes that do not have true vascular tissue and are therefore called "non-vascular plants"Pteris is a genus of about 280 species of ferns in the Pteridoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Many of them have linear frond segments, and some have sub-palmate division.

Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones. The characteristics that differentiate angiosperms from gymnosperms include flowers, fruits, and endosperm in the seeds. Tissue formation in angiosperms exceeds the amount and complexity found in gymnosperms. Angiosperms have a triploid vascular tissue, flat leaves in numerous shapes and hardwood stems. Because of the innumerable varieties of the fruit and/or flower-bearing plants, they have variegated colors and shapes of leaves, flowers and fruits. Gymnosperms are haploid, have spiky, needle-like leaves and are softwood. Gymnosperms are "simpler" anatomically because they do not bear flowers or fruit, and although of different species, are usually only tall evergreens with brown cones.

SequenceA SequenceB *** :*: * : *. * AGIIYELIYIETSEPTGGQHERLPSSADQDY ------------------------------- Sponges(A) vs Cnidarians(B) Invertebrates are organisms without backbones. Let’s look at two very simple types of invertebrates; Sponges and Cnidarians. Sponges (Phylum Porifera), found in oceans all over the world, are made up of colonies of specialized cells—some help push water through the sponge, some help it feed, some are responsible for reproduction, etc.They feed by filtering water through its pores. They have flagella on the inside that drive the water through and pick up particulates in the water. In this sense, they are known as sessile filter feeders. Sponges are attached to the ground below them—they are sessile (unable to move). However, sponges can move around at certain times in their lifespan.Sponges belong to the phylum Porifera in the animal kingdom. The main reasons they are placed into this phylum is due to the presents of numerous holes called pores. They also lack tissue found in other animals. Many biologists believe sponges are groups of colonial cells living together in one larger structure. These animals have other characteristics that make them unique members of the animal kingdom. They are filter feeders. They do not contain any muscle or nervous tissue. The inner canals of the sponge is lined with special cells called collar cells. They gather food by filtering it out of the water as it flows through it and start the digestive process. They will then pass the food on to another set of cells called amebocytes that will finish the digestive process and pass on the food to other cells as they move through the sponges body. The Cnidarian gastrovascular cavity contains special cells that dump digestive enzymes into it and digest the contents. Sponges do not contain definite cell layers. They lack tissue found in other animals. Many biologists believe sponges are groups of colonial cells living together in one larger structure.

Flatworms are dorsoventrally flattened. The epidermis is generally ciliated in the turbellarians, while trematodes and cestodes are covered with a cuticle. Beneath the outer covering are two layers of muscle, an outer circular layer, and an inner longitudinal layer; this arrangement permits an undulating form of locomotion that can be observed in the larger turbellarian species. A saclike digestive cavity, with a single opening to the outside that serves as both mouth and anus, is sometimes present; in the simpler forms it is absent or unbranched, but in higher forms it branches to all parts of the body. The major sense organs, when present, are concentrated in the head, or front end. Although a primitive nerve net is present in some of the simpler forms, others have several nerve cords extending from a brain along the length of the body. The latter pattern of organization is retained in the nervous systems of higher invertebrates, specifically annelids and arthropods. The Gastropoda or gastropods, more commonly known as snails and slugs, are a large taxonomic class within the phylum Mollusca. The class Gastropoda includes snails and slugs of all kinds and all sizes from microscopic to large. Snails show a tremendous variety of shapes, based primarily upon the logarithmic spiral. They can be coiled flatly in one plane, as in Planorbis; become globose with the whorls increasing rapidly in size, as in Pomacea; have the whorls become elongate and rapidly larger, as in Conus and Scaphella; have a few flatly coiled whorls that massively increase in width, as in Haliotis; become elongated and spike-shaped, as in Turritella; or be humped to form a limpet shape, as in Fissurella. Often a number of such shell shapes can be found among species within a single family, but such marine families as the Terebridae, Conidae, and Cypraeidae are conservative in shape. Shells of different species vary markedly in thickness, and those of many species bear conspicuous spines and ridges, probably as an evolutionary adaptation to predation.

One of the best known of all fossils, Trilobites are Arthropods and were present in significant diversity 530 million years ago.Arthropods are found everywhere on earth in every kind of habitat, they fly, swim, crawl, burrow, and live as external and internal parasites.The combined mass of Arthropods is easily greater than that of all other animals combined. The total human mass on earth has been estimated at being similar to the world termite total, the figures for ants are up to twenty times greater (both are insects and so also arthropods).The combined biomass of a crustacean, Euphausia superba, the Antarctic krill is estimated to be in the region of 500 million tonnes making it by mass, the most abundant single species on earth.However you look at it, it is difficult not to be convinced that earth is the planet of the Arthropods, they are older than nearly other animal groups, more numerous and of much greater biomass. Wherever you go on earth, if there is an animal living there it will most likely be an Arthropod, if it is on land, it will probably be an insect, in the sea a crustacean.

All echinoderms have five-part symmetry. We see the inner workings of sea stars, from their tube feet to their skeleton. Urchins are ferocious herbivores chomping down kelp with their jaws. Cucumbers vacuum clean food from the sediment with their tube feet having a big affect on sea floor ecology. Brittle stars blanket some areas of the ocean bottom catching drifting plankton. Echinoderms pump water into their tube feet, giving them power to move. They have light-sensing organs and can smell their way to food. Sea stars are formidable predators. We see their tube feet pry open a mussel and extrude the stomach into the mussel. A camera inside the mussel shows us actual footage of the stomach digesting the mussel. We also see the formidable many armed sun star chase and catch a snail. Echinoderms are 5-layered symmetry, mostly radial. Most possess a through gut with an anus. Highly variable body shape, no head. Open circulatory system, though poorly defined. No excretory organs. Live in marine environments. Arthropods mostly live in every possible habitat.
