Throughout my whole life‚ I rarely ever did community service. Though I went to nursing homes and sang carols during Christmas‚ I really never considered it to be true volunteer work. I was usually too busy to have any spare time to volunteer and when I did have spare time‚ volunteer work was never the first thing on my mind

1. Describe the five cross cultural values highlighted in the chapter. Using these dimensions of values‚ describe Malaysia. Values differ across cultures. Therefore‚ we need to understand these differences in order to explain and predict employees behavior from different countries. Some cultures value group decision‚ whereas others think that the leader should take charge. For an example‚ meetings in Germany usually start on time‚ whereas they might be half an hour late in Brazil or Malaysia

Fruit Fly Lab Alycia Fletcher Biology IB HL March 25th 2010 Fruit Fly Lab Introduction Genes can either be sex-linked or autosomal. If a gene appears mostly in one sex chances are the gene is sex-linked and if it appears frequently in both sexes it is most likely autosomal. Using Drosophila melanogaster‚ also known as the fruit fly‚ we will determine whether the gene is sex-linked or autosomal. Drosophila melanogasters have a relatively short life span and are an excellent organism

laboratory equipment. Pollen analysis is a technique which demands a high level of skill on the part of the excavator‚ scientist and interpreter to enable it to fulfil its potential. Collection of pollen samples can prove troublesome‚ the risk of cross-contamination is significant and efforts must be made to minimize the effect of any excavational bias. The number and ratio of pollen grains present in a sample can also be skewed by factors such as the orientation of the site and the nature of the

Drosophila melanogaster - Sex linkage and inheritance of genes through cross breeding Abstract This experiment looks at the relationship between genes‚ generations of a population and if genes are carried from one generation to another. By studying Drosophila melanogaster‚ starting with a parent group we crossed a variety of flies and observe the characteristics of the F1 generation. We then concluded that sex-linked genes and autosomal genes could indeed be traced through from the parent generation
