Morgan Kimmerle Monday Lab Dr. McCorkell Abstract The purpose of this study was to cross and analyze the reciprocal crosses of wild flies and mutant flies. In this lab Drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit flies were used to understand some important genetic principles that were once proposed by Gregor Mendel. Mutant traits can be autosomal dominant‚ autosomal recessive traits‚ or even sex-linked dominant and sex-linked recessive. F1 and F2 generations were obtained by performing

Thermodynamics- Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law December 5‚ 2011 Kylie Case‚ Emma McKee‚ Rebecca Smith Purpose: In this lab‚ the purpose was to verify Hess’s Law. Theory: Four main topics were covered during this experiment including enthalpy of reaction‚ heat of formation‚ Hess’s Law‚ and calorimetry. The first being enthalpy of reaction‚ ΔHrxn‚ which is the heat or enthalpy change for a chemical reaction. The energy change is equal to the amount of heat transferred at a constant

Separating Substances: Identifying Food Dyes with TLC Background The color of food is an integral part of our culture and enjoyment of life. Who would deny the mouth-watering appeal of a deep-pink strawberry ice cream on a hot summer’s day or a golden Thanksgiving turkey garnished with fresh green parsley? Even early civilizations such as the Romans recognized that people "eat with their eyes" as well as their palates. Saffron and other spices were often used to provide a rich yellow color

Preliminary Unknown Report Alexis Grettenberger 800503431 Katie Young Alexis Grettenberger Biol 311 Lab 11/21/14 Preliminary Unknown Report Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to identify a specific unknown bacterium that was isolated from a multitude of bacteria in a sample of contaminated dirt by running it through a series of identification techniques. Some of these techniques were simple staining‚ gram staining‚ and isolation techniques. The hypothesis of this experiment was that the

Wanni Lin Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are

the Stroop effect‚ yet several issues remain open. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the Stroop phenomenon is equally strong in both brain hemispheres. Participants collected from our research methods lab were asked to complete an online experiment measuring the time of interference it took them to depict the color of the ink of the color-words. Furthermore‚ each color was assigned a number. For example‚ the ink color red was represented by the number two. The color words

G. Y. S. Period: 6 09/11/12 Osmosis Lab I. Objective: The purpose of this lab is to put the solutions in chronological order from least to most molarity. If the solutions are hypertonic then‚ the water will go in and the order of the substances will be C‚ D‚ A‚ B‚ E. II. Materials and Methods: See attached page. Results: Table 1.1 III. Table 1.1 | Initial | Final | % Change | A | 11.4 | 11.86 | 4.03% | B | 11.67 | 15.33 | 33.68% | C | 10.84 | 11.86 | 9.4% | D | 12.02 |

Simple Harmonic Motion Abstract: The experiment was done in order to determine whether or not simple harmonic motion follows Hooke’s law. The experiment consisted of two parts‚ the first part was done with springs hanging weights as well as the pulling down of a string attached to the spring for both individual and two springs. The second part was done with a collision cart and springs attached on both ends of the cart. The data obtained supported that simple harmonic motion obeys Hooke’s

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions
