Observance of Artificial Selection: Technical Study of Wisconsin Fast Plants 5th and 6th period AP Biology Due: 12/16/13 Abstract This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism ’s traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in

Laboratory Report 4: Invertebrate Animals Section: I Table: 6 Date: September 26th‚ 2013 Introduction: In our group‚ our task was to observe the selected four invertebrates and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a

______________________ LAB ____. ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION In our studies of the anatomy and development of animals we have discovered that many living creatures that look quite different on the surface have similarities underneath their skin that suggest that they are related to each other. This is evidence that living creatures have evolved‚ or gradually changed over time. In this lab‚ you will learn about homologous‚ analogous‚ and vestigial structures and their value as evidence for evolution. INSTRUCTIONS

that’s changed; It’s all living things. This change over time or ‘development’ is called evolution. Evolution is the change of (heritable) traits in different organisms over time. If you’re thinking apes becoming humans you’re already wrong. There’s even evidence of evolution like fossils‚ DNA samples‚ similarities in bone structure‚ and even vestigial organs. The purpose of this lab is to see how evolution works and whether it is a reliable theory. Hypothesis: If there are 11 skulls that all have

Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚ pectase and cellulase will

Based on background knowledge regarding beta fish‚ I believe that the male beta fish will be the first out of the two specimens to display any aggressive behavior. b. - Pectorals flap at rapid speeds when the beta fish is uncomfortable and appears agitated. - The gill cover expands in size when the beta fish is uncomfortable. - Caudal fin moves quickly when agitated and also determines how quickly the specimen

Formal lab report: Abstarct: The Purpose of this experiment was to perform Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia by using somatic plant transformation method. The whole process lasted for over a period of 11 weeks and we were successful in getting transformed plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain containing pMP90 (Ti-helper) plasmid and pCAMBIA1391 (T-DNA) plasmid was used for this plant transformation. pCAMBIA1391 plasmid was constructed by cloning Brassica

Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. The lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits-characteristics of an individual that
