BIOL 205 Study Guide - Schizosaccharomyces, Ultraviolet, Wild Type
Document Summary
Ultraviolet radiation damage and repair in rad8, rad1, and wild-type strains of schizosaccharomyces pombe. In this experiment, the average percent of survivorship for schizosaccharomyces pombe (s. pombe) were analyzed at varying ultraviolet (uv) radiation times to determine the effects of different mutations in both the rad1 and rad8 strains. Through several unpaired, one tail tests shown as table 4,5,6 rad8 and the wildtype strains were shown to not be statistically significant after 20 seconds of uv radiation (t-test, t=2. 13, p=0. 062, n=3). Similarly, rad1 and wildtype strains which was also not statistically significant at 20 seconds of radiation (t-test, t=2. 13, In addition, no statistical significance was found between the rad1 and rad8 strains for. Uv radiation at 10 seconds (t-test, t=2. 13, p=0. 0633, n=3). Figure 1: ( x ) of strains vs. exposure time rad8 and rad1 wildtype, The purpose of this lab is to distinguish how varying ultraviolet (uv) radiation will affect different strains of fission yeast and their average percent survivorship.
