Rachel Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 27 April 2015 GMOs Lab Report Introduction As the population of Earth increases exponentially‚ so does the demand for more food. One of the solutions to the question of how more food can be produced is Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs. There is an ongoing debate about whether or not GMOs are more beneficial or harmful to society. Some of the benefits to GMOs are: growing plants‚ such as corn‚ that are resistant to weeds and pests‚ larger

Fly Lab Shannon Ladd Introduction: Famers and herders have been selectively breeding their plans and animals to produce more useful hybrids for thousands of years. It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown. Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. A contributing geneticist named Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)‚ discovered through

ADI Lab Report Every living thing is made up of cells. All cells have some part in common. Some multicellular cells are highly specialized and carry out some very important functions. One of the special cells are red blood cells‚ their functions‚ transporting oxygen from the lungs to the cells in the body. Red blood cells look like little discs. Red blood cells can change their shape‚ this ability allowing them to squeeze through capillaries without breaking. Our task is to Design and carry out an

Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

purpose of antimicrobial drugs is either to inhibit virus replication‚ without harming host tissues or to interrupt the cell processes or structures of bacteria‚ fungi‚ and protozoa. This lab has brought great interest to me because this is the way physicians’ control/treat infectious disease within our bodies. In this lab‚ chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated by the disk-diffusion method. Chemotherapeutic agents are placed on the surface of a Petri plate containing Mueller-Hinton agar‚ which allows

successfully synthesis the reactant to the product‚ NaBH4 was used as the main reagent to reduce the carbonyl double bond. One believes the formation of isoborneol was successfully due to the product’s percent yield‚ IR‚ and melting point. During the lab‚ .077 grams of isoborneol was yielded from the camphor reduction. In result‚ .077 g compared to an theoretical yield of .102 g equaled an overall 75% percentage yield. Considering the product yield was only a quarter shy of a 100% yield‚ provides strong

Sedimentator Lab Introduction: in this lab we will be working with a sedimentator to observe and classify sediments. A sediment is naturally-occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion‚ and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind‚ water‚ or ice. Side One Purpose: to observe and classify sediments Part I 1. Gently shake the sedimentator to loosen the sediments and lay the sedimentator on its side 2. Observe the water

Proteins (ACTIVITY 8) Gallemit‚ Lacei Machelle• • January 17‚ 2013 ABSTRACT Chromatography is one of the most useful methods of separating minute amounts of complex mixtures into the pure substances contained therein. Chromatographic separations are effected by allowing the components in the mixture to be distributed in two phases‚ one being stationary‚ and the other‚ mobile. Partition chromatography involves two main distribution systems‚ one system is composed of a gas and a liquid and
