Are we a product of Nature or Nurture? Direct Selection: • One extreme favoured – current optimum for existing conditions • Environmental change produce new selection pressure - favours extreme condition • Change in condition = optimum sifts to favour new optimum • Some organism possess allele that favours new optimum • Over time selection -> pre dominate of organisms new optimum and therefore optimum shifts Stabilising Selection: • Occurs in all population where environment is stable

Lab 3: Grignard Synthesis Objective: The goal of this lab is to synthesize a Grignard reagent from bromobenzene and magnesium metal in diethyl ether. This same Grignard reagent would then be used to prepare a tertiary alcohol and then purify and characterize the product.

Second hand smoke contains hundreds of toxic chemicals including arsenic ammonia‚ hydrogen cyanide‚ formaldehyde‚ benzene‚ and vinyl chloride. It is known to cause cancer‚ coronary heart disease‚ and respiratory problems. There is no risk- free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Non-smokers should not be subjected to this disgusting habit. Wanting to ban smoking

Megan Burke AGPS Period 3 June 16‚ 2011 Brownfields Investigation Statement of Problem and Hypothesis This investigation explores the effect on leaking underground storage tanks at the Getty Station (located at 1046 Boston Post Road) on contaminants located on and around Boston Post Road. In the experiment‚ the distance from the leaking storage tank will be compared to the amount of contaminant in that area‚ if any. It is predicted for this experiment that if there are leaking underground storage

the unknown alcohol’s H NMR spectra‚ it can be deduced that the alcohol is 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol. There are three peaks that have a shift of ~7.0-7.5‚ one with integration values of 1‚ 2‚ and 1.This shows that the alcohol is a meta-substituted benzene ring. The singlet peak with a chemical shift of~ 4.7 ppm with an integration of 1 is from the hydrogen on the OH group. The peak at ~ 1.7 ppm corresponds to the hydrogen of the carbon that is attached to the OH group. The peak with a chemical shift

The outermost layer of the atmosphere contains crystals of frozen ammonia.[17][18] Through infrared and ultraviolet measurements‚ trace amounts of benzene and other hydrocarbons have also been found.[19] The atmospheric proportions of hydrogen and helium are very close to the theoretical composition of the primordial solar nebula. Neon in the upper atmosphere only consists of 20 parts per million
