Evolution Unit: Objectives AP Biology Upon the completion of the textbook readings in Chapters 22-26 you should be able to: Chapter 22 1. Explain how the principle of gradualism and Charles Lyell’s theory of uniformitarianism influenced Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection

variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2. HYPOTHESIS: The gravity will be 9.81 m/s2 at sea level due to the acceleration. PROCEDURE: Materials: stopwatch‚ meter

Colleen Doyle Lab report 4 Gender Roles John Tucker Must Die John Tucker Must Die is a movie about the classic stereotypical male athlete in high school. John Tucker is the star basketball player who is sexy‚ talented and good with his words. Every girl in high school wants to date John Tucker. With his reputation‚ John dates 3 girls at once. He dates such stereotypical girls including the cheerleader‚ the “slut”‚ and the smarty-pants. Because of his name‚ he gets away this. But‚ all of this

Biology Unit 2 Module 2 1.1: Explain the uptake of ions by active transport in roots; * Emphasize the role of the endodermis. Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots. The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves The minerals (e.g.‚ K+‚ Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments

Cells are not smaller that 0.1 um because within the cell all the necessary components have to take place‚ cellular metabolism‚ reproduction‚ photosynthesis and there has to be a sufficient amount of space for that to

Addition of a 5’ cap‚ Addition of a 3’ poly A tail‚ and introns being removed. 4. What is the genetic code? What does it mean to state the genetic code is redundant and practically universal? Most of the code is the same for all organisms. 5. What is the difference between an anticodon and a codon? A codon is a sequence of three
