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

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

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

Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

Objective The purpose of this lab is to determine the particle size distribution of the fine and coarse aggregates by sieving. Equipment and Material Balance‚ sensitive to within 0.1% of the weight of the sample to be tested Standard sieves for grading of fine aggregates- 4.75 mm‚ 2.36 mm‚ 1.18 mm‚ 300m‚ 150m (# 4‚ 8‚ 16‚ 50 and 100) Standard sieves for grading coarse aggregates- 1 ½ in.‚ 1 in.‚ ¾ in.‚ ½ ‚ 3/8 in.‚ 4 in‚ plus a 4.75 mm(#4 sieve) Fine (0.5 Kg) and coarse (2 to 20 Kg depending

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

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but
