Your Ad Here	Wake, David A professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California at Berkeley, Dr Wake’s research emphasizes analysis of evolutionary patterns and the processes that produce them, ranging from functional morphology to evolutionary genetics and population ecology. Amphibians and reptiles are the focus of his work. Waring Blender An electric kitchen appliance used to homogenize mixtures, but used in the laboratory to generate the shearing forces required to detach conjugating bacteria, to strip bacteriophages from host cells, to homogenize tissue samples, etc.
Western Blot A technique used to identify and locate proteins based on their ability to bind to specific antibodies. A technique used to identify a specific protein that uses a radioactive antibody to find the protein in question. Wild Type The form of an organism that occurs most frequently in nature. The most commonly observed phenotype, which is designated as the standard for comparison. The genotype or phenotype, out of a set of genotypes or phenotypes of a species, that is found in nature. The expression is mainly used in lab genetics to distinguish rare mutant forms of species from the lab stock of normal individuals.
Wobble The ability of the third base in some anticodons of tRNA to bond with more than one kind of base in the complementary position in the mRNA codon. Wobble Hypothesis The idea that the third base in an anticodon can align several ways to allow it to recognize more than one codon in mRNA. Wobble Theory A hypothesis developed to explain how one tRNA may recognize two codons; the third base in the anticodon may pair with a variety of bases occupying the third position of a codon.

Woese, Carl A molecular biologist, Dr. Woese’s identification of the Archaea as a distinctive group of organisms changed the way life is classified on Earth and transformed our view of biology. Wrangham, Richard A primatologist, Dr. Wrangham’s central interest is in the significance of chimpanzee behavior, ecology, and life history for understanding the common ancestor between chimps and humans and subsequent human evolution.
