Experiment 1: Coding In this experiment‚ you will model the effects of mutations on the genetic code. Some mutations cause no structural or functional change to proteins while others can have devastating affects on an organism. Materials Red Beads Blue Beads Yellow Beads Green Beads Procedure: 1. Using the red‚ blue‚ yellow and green beads‚ devise and lay out a three color code for each of the following letters (codon). For example Z = green : red : green. In the spaces below the letter‚ record

Aim The purpose of this experiment was to plan‚ design‚ fabricate and test the structure of a microfluidic flow structure. Background Microfluidic structures are a relatively new topic of study. While the concept of fluids and the study of the flow of fluids through all sorts of various forms of ducts‚ environments and scenarios have been extensively studied by some of the greatest minds of in history‚ the novelty of microfluidics is not surprising. This is due to the fact that despite the fact

Develop hypotheses predicting the effect of pyrite and coal on the acidity of water? a. Pyrite hypothesis = If pyrite is added to a beaker with 100mL of water‚ then it will reduce the pH over 48 hours. b. Coal hypothesis = It activated carbon is added

AIMS At the end of the experiment‚ students should be able to synthesise pure aspirin using chemical tests such as esterification and recrystallization independently and to also find out the melting point range of aspirin using melting point determination. INTRODUCTION Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is one of the commonly used and widely found in any drugstore or pharmacy. Its properties make aspirin a well-rounded drug that reduces inflammation and fever and also relieves

------------------------------------------------- Scientist A scientist‚ in a broad sense‚ is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense‚ a scientist is an individual who uses thescientific method.[1] The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science.[2] This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature‚ including physical‚ mathematical and social realms

A good scientist should possess the following qualities: 1. A scientist must be curious about the world Example: Galileo Galileo’s curiosity about the heavenly bodies made him the first person to use a telescope to study the moon‚ the sun‚ the planets and the stars. 2. A scientist is logical and systematic Example: Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful and accurate record keeping

In a way it’s the world’s most powerful computer because it can process tasks at lightning speeds and simultaneously be in control of our reflexes and every other voluntary and involuntary functions. It is the most important and complex organ as well as our core for learning At the point of birth‚ the brain weighs an average of
