Population Genetics of the Alu Insertion on the PV92 region of Chromosome 16 Abstract: PCR is a laboratory method used to amplify a small‚ specifically targeted‚ amount of DNA. It has three steps‚ the denaturing of the template DNA‚ the annealing of the primers to the DNA templates and the extension of the new DNA by Taq DNA polymerase. The Alu insert on the PV92 region of chromosome 16 is targeted and its frequency is measured according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the Vanier HTK population

Instructions for AP BIOLOGY Investigation 12-Fruit Fly Behavior *We will be using Roly-polies (Armadillidium vulgare) to study animal behavior instead of fruit flies. They are members of a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda that are able to roll into a ball. When writing up this lab‚ substitute A. vulgare or “roly-poly” or “pillbug” for Drosophila melanogaster throughout. **You still have to know the basics of fruit fly behavior‚ so be sure to read the lab carefully and save the lab handout

FRUITS‚ SEEDS AND THE FUTURE JEANETTE JOHNSON A fruit results from the maturation of one or more flowers. The ovule producing part of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more small eggs‚ where the embryo sac contains the egg cell. When the female embryo sac joins with two male sperm these ovules become seeds. (Biology Online‚ 2005) Each fruit is made of certain acids‚ vitamins‚ fructose

First recorded in 1939‚ the protest song “Strange Fruit” came to articulate the racism and brutality of lynching* endured by so many in the United States‚ particularly in the south. According to figures kept by the Tuskegee Institute‚ of the 3833 lynchings between 1889 and 1940‚ four fifths of the ninety percent lynched in the south were of African American descent. As horrific and cruel lynching was‚ it was considered acceptable. Society at the time believed that lynching was an act that was

Meghann Kiphart AP Biology Lab Report Number One Mrs. Irvine Introduction: Because all molecules have kinetic energy and are constantly in motion cells go through a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement if molecules from an area of higher concentration to and area of lower concentration. This process with continue to occur until an equilibrium is reached. Osmosis is a different and unique kind of diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of
