Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand how each offspring inherits its genotype and how its phenotype reflects it. Sex chromosomes determine the sex of the offspring‚ and the autosomes consist of all the other chromosomes that determine phenotypic traits. Dominant traits are the genes that are expressed‚ while the recessive traits are masked by the dominant traits. We used Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)‚ mutating the female fruit fly with a scalloped gene to change the phenotype

Results Experiment I: As a general trend O2 production and reaction velocity increased with increasing catalase concentration‚ however‚ the 33% percent catalase concentration showed a drop of 0.175 mL O2/s compared to the 25% catalase concentration (figure 1.2). The velocity of 25% catalase was 0.275 mL/s‚ 33% was 0.1 mL/s‚ 50% was 0.435 mL/s‚ and 75% catalase was 0.575 mL/s (figure 1.1). The 50% catalase concentration produced the most O2 overall however the 75% catalase concentration had the fastest

AP Bio Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If

was added to each tube of extract. The thickness of the foam layer that was created in each tube was measured in millimeters. The effect of Temperature on Catalase The effect temperature had on the action of each catalase. In the liver cells‚ the hypothesis was tested based on: Temperature has no effect on catalase activity. First‚ 50 μl of liver of extract was added along with 1 mL of water in four test tubes. Then placed 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide four other test tubes. Each test tube of catalase

The temperature of water was determined by a thermometer. 1 cm stripped ends of the wires was hooked into the input posts on the back of the impendence converter. Lab tutor module was started after. B. Baseline heart rate The top of the container was covered with foil and the animal was allowed to sit quietly for 10 min. The trace was examined by pressing start. After that the baseline or the controlled

Transport Systems Essay In single celled organisms‚ nutrients‚ water and various substances that are need for basic cellular processes can easily be transported in and out through the cell membrane. This is an effective transport system for microscopic organisms‚ but multicellular organisms require a more complex transport system to sustain itself. Take humans for example; unlike a cell‚ only the outer layer of skin is in contact with the body’s outside environment. It’s not possible for substances

The classroom light was our control cup during the lab. Before we conducted our experiment‚ the class learned about the photosynthetic process of‚ not only spinach discs‚ but plants in general. As I did more research on photosynthesis‚ the Calvin Cycle‚ wavelengths and pigments required for a proper equation

Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors.

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but
