BLUEPRINT OF LIFE: CHAPTER 2 GENETICS Gregor Mendel’s experiments helped advance our knowledge of the inheritance of characteristics 2.1 GREGOR MENDEL AND THE BIRTH OF GENETICS Gregor Mendel (1822-84) – ‘the father of genetics’ Born in Austria He was an Augustinian monk He worked as a teacher and as an investigator He observed the growth of peas He recorded the ratios of characteristics that appeared in the offspring His discovery stated he observed a pattern in the inheritance of characteristics

An investigation to find the water potential of potato and carrot tubers in a sucrose solution‚ of concentration 0.00 – 0.50Mol‚ over a 24 hour period Interpretation Written Communication C1 From our graph it can be seen that the concentration of sucrose solution is 0.18 M at 0% change in mass for the potato and 0.355 M at 0% change in mass for the carrot. I will use these values to find the solute potential by using the calibration graph. I will work out the water potential by using the

Biology – Preliminary – Evolution of Australian Biota 1. Evidence for the rearrangement of crustal plates and continental drift indicates that Australia was once part of an ancient super continent identify and describe evidence that supports the assertion that Australia was once part of a landmass called Gondwana‚ including: ▪ − matching continental margins ▪ − position of mid-ocean ridges ▪ − spreading zones between continental plates ▪ − fossils in common on Gondwanan continents

Michelle Gordon‚ TJ (Group 4) Section 33 Yeast Cell Respiration 10/04/2010 Part B: Explanation of Results All cells carry out the process of cell respiration in order to meet their energy needs. It is advantageous for cells to have the ability to metabolize different substrates. In this experiment‚ we investigated each sugar’s (glucose‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ fructose‚ and lactose/lactaid) cell respiration rate. When referring to my group’s graph and data‚ glucose ended up with the highest

Title: Grass Growth Effect Jessica Suarez Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth in being inhibited by salt. A typical

Essay Question 1 Explain how changes in habitat can lead to habitat fragmentation. How does this affect the population of animals in that area? Species lose their habitats when those habitats are destroyed outright‚ but habitat loss also occurs when habitats are altered through more subtle processes‚ including fragmentation and other forms of degradation. The sudden and complete elimination of habitat is uncommon at large scales; instead‚ what we usually witness is gradual‚ piecemeal degradation
