Research has been done on human and animals cells. In one study on human and mice cells‚ Valerie Brown exposed stem cells (cells that can develop into various tissue types in the body) to a fungicide used on food and crops. The results showed “that [fat] accumulation and expression of obesity-related genes increased in treated cells [of] both species” (474).

The lab experiment examined meiosis and genetic diversity through the model organism‚ Sordaria fimicola. Meiosis is part of the sexual life cycle and occurs in all sexually reproducing organisms. It is a method of cell division that produces gametes. Meiosis has two parts: meiosis I and meiosis II. Both parts undergo the same four stages of prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telaphase. The process begins with one single parent diploid cell (that contain homologous chromosomes) that divides into

Copper is a transitional metal with an atomic number of 29. Its atomic mass is 63.546. A pure metal found in nature‚ its compounds are usually found as copper(II) salts. Copper is typically a reddish-brown with a shine or glow to it. When it is exposed to air it darkens to a brown color. If exposed to air and water‚ it becomes a blue-green. Its phase of matter is solid‚ with a melting and boiling point of 1084.62 °C and 2562 °C respectively. Copper is soft and malleable‚ meaning that it is capable

Antimycin is a mitochondrial inhibitor which is involved in the energy-coupling site of the respiratory system. Antimycin A works by inhibiting the flow of electrons between cytochrome b and cytochrome C1. It was first discovered as an effective fungicide which inhibited fungal growth‚ while most of the bacteria were unaffected. Because of such properties‚ antimycin was of great interest for commerical uses in agriculture. This led to many studies about its mechanism of action‚ function‚ and its preparation
