Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to apply Mendel’s laws to predict the probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ of two independent events and of certain traits in offspring of parents exhibiting traits. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk in 1866‚ who studied how traits were passed using pea plants. From his studies of inheritance‚ he created three laws of inheritance: the law of dominance‚ the law of segregation‚ and the law of independent assortment. He called genes ‘’factors’’

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using

are the properties of water? In mini-lab 1‚ water was dropped onto the flat surface of a penny until the surface tension of the water was broken. 50 drops were able to be put onto the penny surface‚ with 51 drops of water being the point at which the hydrogen bonds of the water droplets that had created surface tension prior to drop number 51 failed to keep the surface tension‚ and the water spilt over the edges of the penny. This number of drops on the penny‚ 50‚ was possible because of cohesion

through them (Frenz). An example of this writing style can be found in his 1933 short story “A Clean Well Lighted Place”. “A Clean Well Lighted Place” tells the reader a story of how the young and the old interact and what the young lose as they become the old. This short story uses symbolic characters and themes to convey the loneliness many find in old age and the desire to live a full and purposeful one. “A Clean Well Lighted Place” consists of a cast of 3 major characters‚ none of them named and each

mass of the beans Dependent variable: the different types of beans Control: The beans Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to find equal measurement of each type of bean. After you find the mass of each bean you need to find the relative mass of each bean. The navy bean will have the smallest relative mass. You will need to wear safety goggles and a lab apron and wash hands after the lab is finished. If you drop any beans pick them up immediately to prevent anyone from slipping. Materials Safety goggles
