placed the worm on the petri dish‚ with the spring water. Using a razor blade‚ the worm was cut in half into two sections of 6mm in length and 5 mm in length. The worms were measured using a ruler‚ and examined under a microscope. I tried to measure the worms under the microscope‚ next to the ruler‚ to obtain the best measurement but as the worms moved sporadically and were not always fully extended this proved tough to do. So instead it was necessary to just eye ball the measurement of the worms‚ next

revolutionized RNAi‚ and because of it the usefulness of it has increased substantially. RNAi can be easily introduced into the C. Elegans through feeding; feeding the worms the bacteria that expresses double stranded RNA that corresponds to the gene that is being targeted can do this. In this experiment‚ to introduce the C. Elegans to the RNAi‚ the worms were first transferred to a plate containing the IPTG. From there‚ they were able to grow on the plate for a lengthy enough amount of time. Once they grew

multi-step‚ closely monitored process with measured inputs of water‚ air‚ and carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter‚ adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture. Worms and fungi further break up the material. Aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process by converting the inputs into heat‚ carbon dioxide and ammonium. The ammonium is further converted by bacteria into plant-nourishing nitrites and nitrates through

lumbricoides is the human form of the parasite‚ while ascaris suum is the pig form.

Ascariasis is also known as the Giant roundworm. The Giant roundworm can grow up to 35 cm or 13.7795 inches.
