Genetic screening for suppressor mutation in Caenorhabditis elegans odr-3 mutants
(2020-04-21)
A suppressor mutation is a mutation that negates the effects of a different, separate mutation, facilitating a return to the wild-type phenotype. In this experiment, a suppressor mutation screen of a mutation of the odr-3 ...
Effects of Cuticle Mutagenesis on C. elegans Osmoregulatory Behavior
(2020-04-21)
The cuticle of Caenorhabditis elegans plays a vital role in osmoregulation in stressed environments. While wild type C. elegans displays rapid deterioration in a hypertonic environment, certain mutant strains are hypothesized ...

The Effects of pH on the Rate of Successful Egg Hatches in Aedes aegypti
(2020-04-21)
Aedes aegypti, a common species of mosquito, is the primary vector for many deadly diseases, such as yellow fever, Zika, chikungunya, and dengue fever. Considerable efforts have been made by public health advocates to ...
Effects of Oxygen Concentration on Hemoglobin Analog Production in Chironomidae Larvae
(2020-04-21)
This experiment was conducted to test whether varying the oxygen content of a Chironomidae larvae’s environment would result in a color change of the larvae, signifying a change in hemoglobin analog concentration. Three ...

Isolation of Mutant Caenorhabditis elegans Resistant to Integrin α Subunit Deficiency
(2020-04-21)
The ina-1-encoded integrin α subunit is essential to Caenorhabditis elegans development, due to its role in complex processes such as morphogenesis, neuron migration, and cell signaling. Studies have shown that when this ...
Genetic suppressors of str-2 serotonin response defects in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2020-04-21)
C. elegans, a nematode, is a model organism to study animal behavior and development. The genome of the C. elegans shows that there is a similarity between the genes of the nematode and that of humans. C. elegans are widely ...
Genetic suppressor of che-3 serotonin response defects
(2020-04-21)
che-3 is a cytosolic dynein heavy chain within Caenorhabditis elegans. This motor protein acts in intraflagellar transport and maintains structural integrity of sensory cilia structures. When mutated at the che-3 genetic ...
