Genome sequences of seven well-studied ant species give researchers a detailed look at molecular mechanisms - including what may be a basis for complex behavioral differences in two worker castes in the Florida carpenter ant‚ Camponotus floridanus - basically‚ epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how the expression or suppression of particular genes by chemical modifications affects an organism’s physical characteristics‚ development‚ and behavior; if that sounds vague or perhaps even Lamarckian

COM 100 Exam #1 Study Guide Examination Policies If you miss an exam‚ no make-up opportunity will be available without legitimate written documentation of an emergency. An emergency is considered to be a set of circumstances clearly beyond your control that has prevented your attendance. Legitimate written documentation must be authentic paperwork from a credible‚ validating source. A believable account of your difficult (or perhaps even tragic) circumstances will not serve in place of verifying

1. Human population growth prehistoric times to the present…. a. Has slowed considerably over the last 50 years b. Follows an S-shaped curve. c. Has been strongly influenced by density-dependent factors d. Exhibits large oscillation around K e. Roughly fits an exponential curve 2. The experimental design used in the Ribeiroia limb abnormality study ensured that the individuals handling the tadpoles‚ examining the adult frogs and compiling the data did not know which treatment (if any)

Hannah Baumann Bio 212 Lab: Thurs 10:00 Transpiration Laboratory Abstract: Transpiration is affected by many things including temperature and humidity; we were interested in seeing what other factors influence the rate that transpiration occurs. The purpose of this experiment was to explore how paint effects transpiration. I hypothesized that the rate of transpiration would decrease with the addition of paint to the bottom or the Laurel twig’s leaves. After collecting and analyzing the

Introduction: This investigation used spectroscopy to evaluate light absorption in different solutions. A spectrophotometer was used in the lab to determine these values. A spectrophotometer is an apparatus used to “measure the absorption of radiation in the visible and UV regions of the spectrum and allows precise at a particular wave length” (Jones et al.‚ 2007). The amount of light absorbed by a substance is directly in relation to the concentration of the solute and also the wavelength moving
