Meiossis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in the Model Organism‚ Sordaria. By: Katie Fiorillo BIO110 Lab TA: Lauren Smith October 30‚ 2012 A. INTRODUCTION: In this lab‚ the organism Sordaria fimicola was used to explore factors contributing to genetic evolution of sexual reproduction. These organisms are found in “Evolution Canyons‚” which occur when two mountain slopes with very different climatic conditions congregate with a comparatively small valley

1 Measuring and calculating equilibrium constants Clearly‚ if the concentrations or pressures of all the components of a reaction are known‚ then the value of K can be found by simple substitution. Observing individual concentrations or partial pressures directly may be not always be practical‚ however. If one of the components is colored‚ the extent to which it absorbs light of an appropriate wavelength may serve as an index of its concentration. Pressure measurements are ordinarily able to measure

Discussion The main purpose of this lab was to synthesize four soaps and two detergents and determine which one would be the best for an environmental group to use in the event of an oil spill.1 To complete this task‚ five subgoals had to be achieved first. To find the solubility of the fats‚ oils‚ soaps‚ and detergents‚ each of them were placed into different solvents to see if they dissolved. None of the oils and fats were soluble in water (H2O)‚ sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ or hydrochloric acid

Mr. Mihordea Motion of Atoms and Molecules lab summary In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also‚ the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat

Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup

Lab 2: Separation of Mixtures and Solids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with the separations of mixtures and solids. Pre-lab predictions: Data: Data Table 1: Experiment Data | | Grams | Percentage of Mixture | Iron Filings | 2.0g | 26.67% | Sand | 1.6g | 21.33% | Table Salt | 2.4g | 32.00% | Benzoic Acid | 1.2g | 16.00% | Total | 7.5g | 96% | Observations: While the water was boiling with the three solids (salt‚ benzoic acid‚ and sand) the water got

Analysis of a Volatile Liquid Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to use various methods of analysis to determine the identity of an unknown volatile liquid. In the first part of the experiment‚ the molecular mass was found by using water to find the volume of a flask through calculations and this as well as the mass of the gas of the unknown liquid were put into the a manipulated version of the ideal gas equation to determine the molar mass of the liquid‚ which was 14.21g per

Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts; thus allowing the many chemical reactions in life to occur. The purpose of an enzyme is to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. Without enzymes‚ living organisms would be unable to function properly‚ since the releasing and storing of energy depend on the enzyme’s function (2). Through the process of catabolism‚ complex molecules within organic compounds are broken into simpler molecules. As a result of catabolic reactions‚ energy used
