Meghan Methe B-block 11.14.12 Chapter 8 Heredity and Genetic Variation (Objectives) pg. 192-221 Questions: 1. The role of genes in heredity is to carry the traits for the making of DNA. 2. The law of probability says that each chance of probability is equal in the sense of the possible outcomes of the traits present. 4. Dominant masks the recessive which in situations where both trait alleles are present in a gene the organism would be heterozygous and the dominant allele

Essay #1: “Chemical bonds are essential to building the molecules of life. a. In 3 paragraphs‚ describe the following bond types and how they are significant to life on earth: ionic‚ covalent (polar and non-polar)‚ hydrogen‚ and Van der Wahls (interactions). b. How is energy transferred between these bonds and what role does oxygen play in the formation and breaking of bonds?” In the world of chemistry‚ we as humans have the ability to discover the physical sciences that concern the

A.P. Biology Summer Project Going Green as You Clean  Question: Are green detergents less toxic than conventional detergent and which has a greater affect on the environment? Background: Over the course scientist have conducted research and preformed experiments to examine the toxicity level of dish washing detergents. Thereby‚ even the simplest task of washing our dishes after meals can have an impact on the environment. The debate whether “green” or conventional detergents are environmentally

State of the art on Bio-cutting fluids in Machining Submitted by: Abstract The increasing attention to the environmental and health impacts of industrial activities by governmental regulations and by the growing awareness level in the society is forcing industrialists to reduce the use of mineral oil-based metalworking fluids as cutting fluid. Cutting fluids have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years. In the beginning‚ cutting fluids consisted of simple

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

1.) In a plant having two carried alleles for the color of a flower in a gene‚ with P for purple and p for white‚ the three possible combinations which might exist in any one plant are PP making a purple plant‚ pp to make a white plant‚ or Pp resulting in a ‘hybrid’ plant. 2.) Out of the genotypes PP‚ Pp‚ pp‚ the resultant flower colors are (as described above in exercise 1) are purple (for PP‚) purple or purplish-white (for Pp- likely purple as it is dominant‚ or a mixture of the colors‚) or white
