Mutation in gene Unc-93 results in apparent muscle defects in C. Elegans. John Mathew Joshua Kistner Dr. Lyczak November 8, 2002 Abstract Mutations occur when the base pairs in DNA are altered, and could result in everything from a minor change in phenotype to a lethal change in the cell. Unc-93 in Caenorhabditis elegans is responsible for muscle contraction. DNA strains from three worms: LU-55, LU-57, and N2 are extracted, purified, and analyzed to find out if …showed first 75 words of 2791 total…
