Lab Report 1: Pollination and Climate Change Karly Rumpel 091081 Introduction: In this experiment‚ the effect of climate change on Brassica Rapa will be tested. The Brassica Rapa plant is a member of the cruciferae family‚ or mustard family. The flowers on the plant are in the shape of a cross‚ which is why it is named crucifer (CFIA 2014). The brassica varieties are important to the canola industry‚ for they contain less fiber and more oil and protein than traditional canola (Stringam et

OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE ROSETTE GENE IN BRASSICA RAPA By: Justine Poorbaugh Foundations of Biology 2 Laboratory Thursday 2:30 PM Professor Cheek April 21‚ 2011 ABSTRACT The Brassica rapa is a rapid growing plant that has a standard form and a mutant rosette form. Relative to normal plants‚ the rosette form is shorter and takes longer to flower. The mode of inheritance of the rosette gene was tested by crossing two true-breeding plants‚ one of each form. The F1 generation was then

Does the genes from both parent combine into 1 or are the inherited by a whole where 1 is express while the other stays dormant. Using Mendel’s Laws as a base for our experiment‚ we will determine the expected outcome of these

Biology Lab Oakland University The Results of Densities in Brassica Rapa Introduction Brassica Rapa is a a type of flower that comes from the mustard family. It is grown through the United States and Canada. Now High density ‚ Low-density. In either case‚ photosynthesis will be key. Photosynthesis is “The process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Most forms of photosynthesis

Purpose To determine if light intensity affects the rate of growth in Brassica rapa. Hypothesis If the plant that is exposed to high intensity light grows more‚ then plants can adapt to absorb more photons for photosynthesis. Eventually‚ the rate of photosynthesis will top out‚ and stop increasing‚ due to the lack of one of the components necessary for photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process used primarily by plants but sometimes by other organisms to convert light energy into chemical

Abstract The plant Brassica rapa is a fast plant most commonly known as the field mustard. The plant itself particularly well known for its extremely fast rate of growth‚ making it easy to breed and cross pollinate several generations. Due to its ability of rapid growth it has become a favorite for scientist to test the theories of inheritance on. In our case we tested to see if we could affect the overall hairiness of different generations. F1 seed was ordered‚ germinated and cross-pollinated

The plant Brassica rapa (field mustard) is a species in the Brassica genus that includes a variety of different vegetables like broccoli‚ cauliflower‚ and cabbage (Williams & Hill‚ 1986). The B. rapa plant originated in Europe but grows in a variety of places all over Asia (Courteau). In places like North America and China they are seen as weeds because the plant is neutralized (Courteau). Now‚ they are seen more and more in garden homes all across the states (Courteau). Brassica rapa plant grow

Bassica rapa Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species and is a very important factor that is limiting the population size of many species (McGinley‚ 2008). Brassica rapa plants are model organisms to study because of their rapid-cycling‚ small genome sizes and short life cycles. Brassica rapa also known as “fast plants”‚ because they can grow into adults in the span of seven weeks‚ is an ideal species to study competition (Miller‚ 1995). These Brassica rapa plants will

the fittest is the struggle for life. The ability of plants to grow‚ flower‚ reproduce and ultimately survive while sharing limited available resources is a natural struggle at best. Brassica rapa is a highly diverse‚ rapid-cycling group of crop plants that have been used for research in genetics and hands on learning in the classroom (Williams and Curtis‚ 1986). Germination and establishment of Brassica rapa is critical in the life of the plant as this is when the seeds are most vulnerable to injury
Premium Seed Plant
First‚ students started off planting F1 hybrid seeds of the Brassica Rapa. Students were given six cell tray and putted half of the soil on each cell. Then‚ students used forceps to plant two brassica rapa seeds‚ 0.5 inches deep‚ in the soil and buried one fertilizer pellets next to the seeds for each cell. The fertilizer will help the brassica rapa to grow. Once that was done‚ students added 2-3 drops of water on the plants. After students did that‚ students label their six cell with their name
