Proposal
The purpose of this experiment is the gage the biodiversity of the Lake Superior area using mosquitoes. The samples were collected from 5 different spots in the states of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Female mosquitoes feed on sugars for nutrition, but need blood in order for their eggs to develop properly. The blood consumed can be tested and processed to see which species the mosquito has been feeding on, and from there can show the species inhabiting certain areas. Using PCR, specific primers, and gel electrophoresis the blood will be processed to determine the biodiversity of the area.
Instruments to be used
PCR, Gel Electrophoresis
