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

Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

ATOMIC WEIGHT OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The main purpose for this experimental lab is to determine the atomic weight of magnesium‚ as well as an underlying purpose in determining the relationship between moles evolved and consumed. This can be demonstrated by measuring the hydrogen gas evolved by performing a chemical experiment when hydrochloric acid reacts with the magnesium. The formulated reaction includes; Mg + 2HCl → H2 + Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl- (aq) The major findings contributing

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

Introduction Reactive oxygen species (ROS) include super oxide ion (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (HO- ) are the causative agents to produce oxidative stress. ROS are produced by two independent pathways: mainly the mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and cellular responses to bacterial invasion‚ xenobiotic and cytokines. To counteract the formation of ROS‚ a number of antioxidant proteins have been described. These proteins are superoxide dismutase‚ catalase‚ glutathione peroxidase

Maria Martinez Anatomy and physiology II TTH 2:20 “Demonstrating the Importance of Surfactant: Lab Report” Introduction Surfactant is an essential component for the respiratory system to function properly. This experiment was administrated to help us understand better the role of surfactant in the alveolar system. Surfactant is a detergent-like substance produced by the Type II alveolar cells in the alveoli. Surfactant is produced to make it easier for people to breath by reducing the surface

The purpose of the lab was to measure the effectiveness of antacids at neutralizing excess stomach acid. A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt. To illustrate‚ H+ hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions OH- from the base. Antacids are taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. For instance‚ antacids such as alka-seltzers contain baking soda which is highly reactive with acids‚ settling the discomfort of indigestion
