Meiossis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in the Model Organism‚ Sordaria. By: Katie Fiorillo BIO110 Lab TA: Lauren Smith October 30‚ 2012 A. INTRODUCTION: In this lab‚ the organism Sordaria fimicola was used to explore factors contributing to genetic evolution of sexual reproduction. These organisms are found in “Evolution Canyons‚” which occur when two mountain slopes with very different climatic conditions congregate with a comparatively small valley

The Microscope Lab Brandy Talley PRCC Biology Lab Online June 13‚ 2013 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to learn about different types of microscopes that we use today‚ learn the parts of the microscope‚ and how to properly use a microscope by exploring various slides. Materials: *Microscope *Letter “e” slide *Onion root slide *Bacterial capsule slide *Cheek smear slide Lab Notes: 1.What is the difference between a compound

Mr. Mihordea Motion of Atoms and Molecules lab summary In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also‚ the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat

Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup

Maria Martinez Anatomy and physiology II TTH 2:20 “Demonstrating the Importance of Surfactant: Lab Report” Introduction Surfactant is an essential component for the respiratory system to function properly. This experiment was administrated to help us understand better the role of surfactant in the alveolar system. Surfactant is a detergent-like substance produced by the Type II alveolar cells in the alveoli. Surfactant is produced to make it easier for people to breath by reducing the surface

the highest amount rise‚ which will show us the optimal color of light for photosynthesis. These different colors of light included blue‚ red‚ green‚ fluorescent‚ regular light‚ and classroom light. The classroom light was our control cup during the lab. Before we conducted our experiment‚ the class learned about the photosynthetic process of‚ not only spinach discs‚ but plants in general. As I did more research on photosynthesis‚ the Calvin Cycle‚ wavelengths and pigments required for a proper equation

1. Introduction Microscopy is an essential technique not only in cell biology but natural science as a whole. We compared different types of microscopic techniques ‚ according to the specimen used and the scope of the experiment. Two specimens‚ stained and unstained‚ containing CHO cells‚ were prepared‚ examined and analyzed under the microscope using bright field (HF)‚ dark field (DF) and phase contrast (PH) settings. In addition‚ the four phases of cell division cycle were estimated.. Bright

The purpose of the lab was to measure the effectiveness of antacids at neutralizing excess stomach acid. A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt. To illustrate‚ H+ hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions OH- from the base. Antacids are taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. For instance‚ antacids such as alka-seltzers contain baking soda which is highly reactive with acids‚ settling the discomfort of indigestion
