Biology 1010 is a course that introduces students to the basic biological phenomena in all living organisms. It focuses on the different molecular levels of organization‚ heredity in evolution‚ genetics and reproduction. Through this course‚ I was able to master three essential concepts such as Mendel’s Law of Segregation‚ enzymes‚ and photosynthesis. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk that argued that parental traits are passed on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors”. Heritable factors

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

Belin May 8‚ 2014 Trisomy 5p +- When my son was born‚ May 17‚ 1993‚ I did not know nor did I understand what was going on inside of him and why was he born with two heart murmurs; one in the ASD and one in the VSD‚ lungs were filled with fluid‚ under birth weight (5 lbs 12 oz)‚ his ears were lower on one side than the other‚ and he sounded like a cat when he cried. At Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando‚ FL.‚ they EVAC him and there was a

Mendel on Patterns of Inheritance Mendel was the first to see that traits in each person were passed down‚ not just from the parents‚ but also from grandparents‚ great-grandparents‚ great-great-grandparents‚ etc. He also figured out that not every person is the same as his or her own parents. Some of these traits can come from other family members that are no longer living. Mendel is the first to also describe these traits as passages through the generations. There are at least three reasons

Temperature range Background: All organisms are adapted to a particular environment with its characteristic temperature range. The temperature range allows the organism’s enzymes to control its metabolism by operating at their optimum efficiency within this range. Some organisms are adapted to live at high temperatures (80 - 100oC) and these are called thermophiles

“The Inheritance of Tools” by Scott Russel Sanders 1. Sanders talks about three important tools which are the hammer‚ saw‚ and level. He discusses how each one was passed down from generation to generation. Each time the hammer is given‚ the father taught the son how to watch the head of the nail and to not hit his own thumb. When the saw is passed down‚ the son is taught how to not put too much pressure so that the teeth cut the wood properly. When the level is passed down‚ the dad teaches his

Inheritance is given in many forms. This could be what is left in the parents will‚ but it can also be the character inheritance. Character inheritance is the things learned from the previous generation on how to behave or morals. The inheritance passed down is what shapes Sanders as a man in the short story “The Inheritance of Tools”. The tool used to convey this is the hammer. Sanders’ father had it before him and before him his grandfather used it. Though new handles for the hammer had been made;

Josh P. AP Biology 12-10-13 Lab Writeup The Effect of Transformation of pGLO in Bacteria Background/Objectives/Hypothesis: Genetic transformation is a process that primarily is inserting new DNA into an organism to change that organism’s trait. This process has many useful benefits when used correctly in different organisms. In this lab‚ bacteria was transformed by inserting DNA for Green Fluorescent Proteins. The DNA for these proteins were taken from bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea

ABSTRACT: Two separate variables were hypothesized and tested within the confines of the experiment on their effects on the productivity of lactase enzyme. The measurement of light absorbance levels of different solutions based on both the concentration of o-nitrophenol (ONP) as well as the pH of the solution tested. To begin with‚ differing concentrations of ONP were tested to find the absorbance levels of ONP. Three different pH values‚ 5‚ 6‚ and 7‚ in solution‚ were tested over a period of 8
