The goal of this study was to measure the oxygen consumption of goldfish in an ambient environment and dark environment and calculate if there was any difference in metabolism based on oxygen consumption. The experimental hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the goldfish as measured by oxygen consumption differs in a dark environment than in an ambient environment. The null hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the gold fish as measured by oxygen consumption does not differ in darkness versus

Bio Lab 101 Smithsonian Laboratory Early Atmosphere 1. How abundant was oxygen in the early atmosphere? The earth’s early atmosphere contained only small amounts of free oxygen‚ produced by the reaction of water vapor with sunlight. The oxygen rich atmosphere that developed later and on which oxygen breathing life now depends was result of the origin and spread of organisms capable of photosynthesis. 2. What evidence do scientists have that the oxygen content of our atmosphere has increased

Improving Productivity Using IT As our organisation is very IT focused there are many different methods and software we use. Our main way of communicating is via email; this saves a lot of time and is also a faster way of letting the whole team know certain information. We use a variety of software to get tasks completed such as word‚ excel‚ PowerPoint‚ internet etc. As we very rarely have customers come into our office‚ most of our communications is by using computers.

Population Genetics of the Alu Insertion on the PV92 region of Chromosome 16 Abstract: PCR is a laboratory method used to amplify a small‚ specifically targeted‚ amount of DNA. It has three steps‚ the denaturing of the template DNA‚ the annealing of the primers to the DNA templates and the extension of the new DNA by Taq DNA polymerase. The Alu insert on the PV92 region of chromosome 16 is targeted and its frequency is measured according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the Vanier HTK population
