2.
(1pt) To show the effect of UV light exposure on the survival rate of the yeast (data from
SC plates), you need to express the data as the percentage of cells that survived (i.e.
percent survival). Calculate the percent survival of both your lab group’s data and your lab
section’s data and fill your answers in the table below. Show your work for at least one of
your calculations.
1
Hint: To calculate this percentage we will use the “0 sec” plate as a control, and assume that 100%
of the cells on the “0 sec” plate survived. So, your calculation for each time of UV exposure is:
percent survival relative to control plate =
(# colonies on plate) _
*
100
(# colonies on “0 sec” plate)
Consider the following: What if the calculations suggest that some plates have more than 100%
3.
(1pt) To determine the effect of UV yeast exposure on the rate of mutation to the TRP1+
phenotype, you need to calculate the mutation rate (i.e. percent mutation). Calculate the
% mutation for both your lab group’s data and your lab section’s data and fill your answers
in the table below. Show your work for at least one of your calculations.
2
Hint: We need to take several things into account when calculating mutation rates…
1.
The concentration of cells in the original yeast culture was unknown.
2.
The survival rate of the yeast cells is different at different levels of UV exposure.
3.
The concentration of the original culture used to inoculate the SD plates was 10,000x
greater than the concentration of the culture used to inoculate the SC plates
4.
The actual counted numbers of colonies present on the SD plates varied.
First, we’ll address points 1 and 2. The number of yeast colonies you counted on the SC plates for
each time of UV exposure gives you an estimate of the number of cells that should have survived
that amount of UV exposure, and takes into account the concentration of the original culture. To
consider point 3, we have to take the SC plate colony count and multiply it by 10,000, to estimate
the number of surviving
cells on each SD plate. Remember, most of those cells plated on SD media
couldn’t reproduce and form colonies because they couldn’t make their own tryptophan. Points 1,
2, and 3 allow us to calculate approximately how many cells survived
on each SD plate. Then we
just need to figure out what proportion of these surviving cells also mutated to the TRP1+
phenotype. This is just the number of colonies you counted on each SD plate (point 4).
So, your calculation for each time of UV exposure is:
% mutation =
(number of colonies counted on SD plate)
_
* 100
(number of colonies counted on SC plate x 10,000)

Create four separate graphs from your data (a-d). All 4 graphs must include the two types of
data compiled for this lab: your lab group’s data and your lab section’s data. Each graph
must have a descriptive title—do not use the term ‘versus.’ Each graph must have both data
types clearly identified with a key and/or described in the figure caption. Each graph must
have a brief figure caption to describe the figure. If needed, see additional graphing
resources linked within this assignment page on Canvas.
a.
(1pt) Graph the SD plate data as # of colonies vs irradiation time
Hint: Your graph
should have time of UV exposure (seconds) on the horizontal (x) axis, and number of
colonies on the vertical (y) axis.
[Insert graph (a) with figure caption here]
3
Note on figure captions:
A complete figure contains both an image and a caption. Together, these two parts should provide
enough information that a reader can understand the data presented without referring to the text. A
figure caption should contain a concise description of the graphic allowing a reader to understand the
figure.
The information contained within the caption should include a description of the graph
(similar to a title), a brief statement of the methods necessary to understand the figure,
statistical information, if applicable.
The caption should never begin with the words “Graph of...” or “Figure of...”
Example: Figure 1. Mean weight of golden-mantled ground squirrels was 150 g greater than
that of thirteen-lined ground squirrels prior to hibernation. Although both species lost weight
during hibernation, golden-mantled ground squirrels exhibited greater weight loss.

In the CPT, Surgery is the largest section for category I codes. Its code range is from 10000 to 69990 and each subsection within Surgery is divided based on body systems, since we can have surgical procedures from head to toe. As every other section of the CPT manual, the Surgery section has its own colored guidelines.
For our third discussion, please answer the following questions in your initial post:
When are the new guidelines in the coding manuals published and when do they become effective?
What would happen if we do not adhere to these?

In paragraph form, you should describe what you found. This is not the place to interpret results, save that for the conclusion.
your narrative explanation of your results should refer to the figures. These figures should be numbered(even if there's only one) and display summary data(mean and error), not raw data. The figure caption should be in the text under each figure and briefly describe what you're showing.
THANK YOU!

The following statements are either accurate as written or contain some errors. You need to rewrite each as an accurate statement. Make sure that you do not change the material the sentence is about. Highlight or underline any changes that you make to statements. Thank you!
1. Cancer is caused by a single mutation in either a tumor suppressor gene or an oncogene. The reason that cancer rates increase with age is because our immune system is better at fighting mutations.
2. Pluripotent is the term used for cells that have already differentiated into all cell types within an organism.
3. Phenotypic variance is partitioned into genetic variance and additive variance. This also indicates that the amount of variance in the phenotype of individuals with the same genotype is solely based on heritability values.
