Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

laws (i.e.‚ marriage‚ adoption‚ inheritance) applied to Hindus‚ especially in India.[1] Modern Hindu law is thus a part of the law of India established by the Constitution of India (1950). Prior to Indian Independence in 1947‚ Hindu law formed part of the British colonial legal system and was formally established as such in 1722 by Governor-General Warren Hastings who declared in his Plan for the Administration of Justice that "in all suits regarding inheritance‚ marriage‚ caste and other religious

polygenic inheritance and pleiotropy polygenic inheritance is a non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes. Polygenic inheritance refers to the kind of inheritance in which the trait is produced from the cumulative effects of many genes in contrast to monogenic inheritancewherein the trait results from the expression of one gene (or one gene pair). In humans‚ height‚ weight‚ and skin color are examples of polygenic inheritance‚ which does

Blueprint of Life: Gregor Mendel’s Experiments and the Inheritance of Characteristics How and When Mendel carried out his experiments: a. Briefly outline Mendel’s biography • Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Augustinian monk of Austrian origin and is known as the Father of Genetics. • During his childhood he worked as a gardener‚ and as a young man attended the Olmutz Philosophical Institute. • In 1843 he entered an Augustinian monastery in Brunn‚ Czechoslovakia.

he made via pea plant experiments conducted by him over 1856 to 1863 that showed how certain traits are passed on to next generation. Over this time period he is said to have tested over 5000 pea plants and from this he derived the law of Mendelian Inheritance He was able to predict the probabilities of certain characteristics being passed onto the offspring of plants. He showed that certain factors‚ now known as genes‚ affected

Chapter 15 The chromosomal basis of inheritance Key ideas: 1) Mendelian Inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomes during sexual life-cycle. 2) Morgan traced a gene to a specific chromosome. 3) Linked genes tend to be inherited together because they are located on the same gene. 4) Independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over produce genetic recombinants. 5) Geneticists use recombination data to map a chromosome’s genetic locus. 1900 Biology finally

PROBABILITY and MENDELIAN GENETICS LAB Hypothesis: If we toss the coin(s) for many times‚ then we will have more chances to reach the prediction that we expect based on the principle of probability. Results: As for part 1: probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ the deviation of heads and tails of 20 tosses is zero‚ which means that the possibility of heads and tails is ten to ten‚ which means equally chances. The deviation of heads and tails of 30 tosses is 4‚ which means that the
