1. Why are spindle fibers important for mitosis? (5 points) Spindle fibers work as a path for chromosomes to travel(Campbell‚ 2009). 2. State the four bases that make up DNA. (4 points) a. (A)-Adenine b. (G)-Guanine c. (T)-Thymine d. (C)-Cytosine (Campbell‚ 2009). 3. What are the two base pairs? (2 points) a. AG b. CT 4. Answer the following questions: a. Define the term crossing over. (3 points) The phase in meiosis where chromosomes exchange segments of genetic materials (Campbell‚ 2009). b. Explain

Eco-Column Lab Write up Alicia Whiteley Block 4 Abstract: In this research and experiment we were testing whether or not we can maintain a healthy eco-system based off creating one from scratch. We initially went into this experiment confident that we were going to be able to keep our fish alive which was proven wrong mid-way through due to high levels of turbidity and the state of the fish. After collecting all of our data‚ we maintained a healthy terrestrial level and a good PH

Hair Conditioner Lab Intro The hair industry has been been devoted to answering a need of our american people for years. A market mainly targeted towards women‚ the search for products that will soften‚ repair‚ rejuvenate‚ enlarge‚ and even strengthen hair is unending. The question that we posed for this lab was: Does hair conditioner really actually strengthen hair as it promises?

Brandon Schmetterer 3-13-15 Biology labs DNA Extraction Lab DNA is extracted from humans for genetic testing‚ for body identification‚ and for analysis of forensic evidence. The first step of DNA extraction is to take cheek cells from the test subject. Next‚ the cells must be burst open in order to release DNA. Third‚ DNA is separated from protein and debris. Lastly‚ the DNA must be isolated. A buccal swab is necessary in order to collect the cheek cells .The micropipettes are used to add lysis

organisms. For the three following examples‚ explain in detail how the transfer of information is accomplished. a. The genetic material in one eukaryotic cell is copied and distributed to two daughter cells. Eukaryotic cells go through Interphase and Mitosis. Interphase is further subdivided into 3 stages‚ G1 (first gap)‚ S (synthesis of DNA)‚ and G2 (second gap). In all 3 sub phases cell growth happens and organelles like mitochondria are replicated. DNA‚ however‚ is only synthesized during the S phase

Danielle Christian AP Bio FRQ #2 January 22nd‚ 2013 A.) Graph #1 A.) Calculation The rate of reaction from 0-30 minutes is 0.34667; r=10.4μM /30 minutes B.) Explanation The reaction was observed after 30 minutes because the reaction rate eventually slows down and the enzyme reaches its maximum potential. Since the enzyme is using the substrate so quickly‚ the substrates concentration depletes. That means the rate will slow down. Our graph shows that after about 40 minutes‚ the enzyme

Erin Hillman August 30‚ 2010/5th period Biology Bunsen Burner Introduction: One of the most efficient ways to heat materials is by a Bunsen Burner. Bunsen Burners are made in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Hypothesis: In this lab my class learned the most efficient and safest way to use a Bunsen Burner. Materials: The materials used were; safety goggles‚ safety apron‚ ring stand‚ Bunsen Burner‚ flame striker‚ gas‚ wire gauze‚ a beaker‚ beaker tongs and 100 mL of water.

DNA Extraction Lab Purpose: To compare the amount of DNA extracted from two different species‚ despite using the same method. Hypothesis: I predict that the liver will produce a higher quantity of DNA than the strawberry. This is because I believe that animals have a higher DNA yield because our structure is more complex than a plant’s structure. Materials: -Sample of Strawberries -Zip lock bag -DNA extraction buffer -Cold ethanol -Glass rod -Double ply cheese cloth -Two test tubes

The Effect of pH on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysis of Catalase Objectives: The objective of this lab was to develop a protocol to investigate the effect of an environmental variable on the catalytic function of an enzyme. More specifically‚ the objective was to perform an experiment in order to test the effect of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for reactions. This simply means that enzymes lower the activation energy required

Daphny Maldonado Bio Lab 2107 Kiah Britton W 10-12:30 Is H20 Bad for You? Abstract: In the village of Gopher Hollow there’s a cluster of Blue Baby Syndrome. There were four infants affected by this cluster. The families from the infants would collect their water from wells. We have to determine what’s the source of the high levels of nitrites in the water. The four sources that could be the point of contamination are a new subdivision‚ textile plant‚ an organic farm‚ and a mountain lake
