Brassica Rapa Phenotypes
First, students started off planting F1 hybrid seeds of the Brassica Rapa. Students were given six cell tray and putted half of the soil on each cell. Then, students used forceps to plant two brassica rapa seeds, 0.5 inches deep, in the soil and buried one fertilizer pellets next to the seeds for each cell. The fertilizer will help the brassica rapa to grow. Once that was done, students added 2-3 drops of water on the plants. After students did that, students label their six cell with their name and put their six cell tray on a water tray under florescent lights. For the next weeks, we took pictures, measured the plants, and look at the phenotype until the plants had pods.
During week 1, students recorded the phenotypes of the plants. Between

    Now you are ready to start culturing. Start with one of your plates you can do both at the same time but to avoid making any errors I recommend just doing one at a time. Using aseptic technique take the tube containing the pathogen you have chosen and sterilize it. Next, take your sterile pipette (dropper) and pick up a small amount of your sampled pathogen. Using aseptic technique again flame the tube and close it, set aside till you are ready to use for the next plate. Open the lid of the first plate (I used the one labeled 1-5 first)…

    An avocado seed is used in this experiment. For this type of seed to start the process of germination, the favorable climate is typically very warm. If someone was to plant an avocado seed and see the quickest results, they should place the seed in the sun. Along with waiting a few days between watering the seed, allowing the soil to dry out. For the seed to germinate properly, the bottom half of the seed will be emerged into water. Once the top of the seed becomes dry it will crack and the exterior brown skin will come…

    In this experiment, the effect of climate change on Brassica Rapa will be tested. The Brassica Rapa plant is a member of the cruciferae family, or mustard family. The flowers on the plant are in the shape of a cross, which is why it is named crucifer (CFIA 2014). The brassica varieties are important to the canola industry, for they contain less fiber and more oil and protein than traditional canola (Stringam et al. 1974). These characteristics are vital for canola to be more competitive in the oil industry (Bell 1993). Brassica species also show their use and importance in that they have been developed accordingly, based on their conditions, for…

    Genes are traits that give living things their own certain characteristic. Genes are inherited from the P generation to the F1 generation. As genes are passed down, they are given traits that are either contain all dominant genes known as homozygous dominant, or both dominant and recessive also known as heterozygous and last is homozygous recessive, meaning that the genes are both recessive. Dominant alleles are always present even if they also contain one recessive and the only way to express the recessive trait, both alleles must be recessive for the trait to be expressed. During sexual reproduction, 2 parents with different traits are crossbreed, which encourage cultural diversity out of the population. The offspring of the P1 generation is also call the hybrid since they have a mixed of traits from both parents. There are 2 type of crossbreeding first is…

    We experienced a number of errors in our experiment. Sources of error were human interaction, inaccurate measurements, and incorrectly handling the seeds and materials. In the future, these problems can be avoided by interfering with the plastic bags that contained the seeds, adding the most accurate amount of solute as possible, or making sure that we don’t crush the seeds or the towel that was inserted in the bag. Ideas for future experimentation would be to plant the seeds outside so that the sun would be used as the…

    Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to gain a complete understanding around the rate of cellular respiration within multicellular organisms, also to research and understand how to use a CO2. Background: Living systems require free energy and matter to maintain order, to reproduce, and grow. Energy deficiencies cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels as well. 1 mol of H2O produces 1 mol of CO2 through cellular respiration. Autotrophic organisms capture free energy from the environment through the process of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.…

    The materials used included seeds of Wisconsin fast plants Brassica rapa, Styrofoam planting quads, potting soil, 14- 14- 14- NPK fertilizer beads, labeling tape, quad wicks, plastic water container with wick cloth, and anti-algal squares. To construct two different planters for our fast plants we used two Styrofoam planting quads. Each planter and squares inside of the planter were labeled. Each square was filled about half way with soil. The Brassica rapa seeds and fertilizer pellets were then added and topped with more soil. Each square was watered and placed under a light. For the next five weeks in each lab the height of each plant (cm) and the number of leaves on each plant were recorded.…

    The reason I chose this plant type is because the radish plant is one of the fastest plants to germinate. When growing the seeds for the vegetable result, it takes 22 days for a full harvest. In soil they are to be placed ½ inch deep, with a seedling emerging in 4-6 days. ("Organic Seeds, Organic Fertilizer, Organic Gardening Supplies, Garden Tools & More!" Peaceful Valley Organic Radish Seeds, Cherry Belle - GrowOrganic.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 May 2017. ). After several weeks, a bright red radish is produced for consumption. The seeds themselves are relatively small, about .25 cm long. When observing the buds growing from the seed, I will look at both the roots and the stem. Since the seed will not be planted in soil, observing the seeds from all angles will not prove to be difficult. When growing, the seeds and the paper towel will be placed into a plastic bag and put in a warm place, not in the direct sunlight but also not in a place where it would be difficult for the seeds to germinate. The seeds will be checked on daily, and in several days there will be results that can be determined with length of stem, color of plant,…

    To begin the fast plants experiment, each group received the F1 generation seeds for their designated phenotypes. After receiving the seeds, the seeds were then planted into Styrofoam “quads” allowing the seeds to germinate. The seeds were then allowed to grow under a fluorescent light bank for 5 weeks. Throughout the growing of the seeds, each plant was continuously watered and adjusted the light bank to help the plant grow more efficiently. After letting the seeds germinate for approximately 14 days, after two or three flowers had opened, a bee stick was used to transfer pollen from one plant to another. Each group then used the bee stick again 2 and 4 days after the initial pollination. Once all of the transferring was complete, each unopened bud on the plants were pinched off. Approximately 21 days after pollination, the seeds were ready to be harvested. Each quad was removed from the watering tray and allowed to dry for 5 days. After the plants were dry, each group removed the dry seedpods from the plant. We then removed the seeds from the pod. To start the germination process, a moistened piece of filter paper was placed into a petri dish. 40 seeds were neatly placed into each petri dish until there were no seeds remaining. Once all the seeds were placed in the petri dish, the petri dishes were placed in a plastic bag and set to germinate for approximately 48 to 96 hours in the window at room temperatures.…

    All plants need light and water to grow. They rely on their seeds and pollen or spores for reproduction. Plants use photosynthesis and cellular respiration. “Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy,” said by Science Live. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and creates oxygen. Living creatures including plants get their energy from cellular respiration. Cellular respiration changes oxygen and glucose to carbon dioxide and water into energy. Plant cells work just as animal cells work except they also can create their own food. Chia seeds will be used in the experiment. Chia seeds are a source of protein for humans and animals, one tablespoon can provide twenty-four hours of…

    In the experiment we will be analyze the effects of UV-C radiation on Brassica Rapa. Brassica Rapa commonly known as field mustard because of its close relationship to mustard and cabbage.(1) this plant has proved to be a great plant for scientific research due to its fast and successful germination period of 1-3 days. Sunlight is a necessary factor for photosynthesis to occur. Plant growth needs the suns UV light to proceed, but at what point can UV exposure become detrimental to plant morphology? Research indicates most damaging effects to plants DNA is found to be a product of UV- B radiation. (2) Natural sunlight gives off the entire UV light spectrum, so we need to be able to isolate the wavelength of our specific…
