Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

Joshua Berkebile 8-26-10 1st period Density Lab The purpose of this lab was to find the mass‚ the length‚ the width and the height of 4 different cubes so we could calculate the volume and density of them. We also had to find the density of irregular shapes by dropping them into a graduated cylinder than subtracting the starting water volume by the ending water volume. Density is how much mass is in a certain volume of matter. Volume is the amount of room that an object

Does it look like a pure substance or a mixture? How many components appear to be present? Tests on original sample Flame Test Bushy yellow‚ orange flame – Na+ is present and possibly K+ and NH4+. Pink-purple flame – K+ is present and Na+ is not. (Possibly NH4+) No color or faint trace Na+ - NH4+ is possible‚ K+ and Na+ are

overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound‚ which we will be doing in this particular experiment. Purpose Measure the melting points of pure benzoic acid and pure mandelic acid. Determine the eutectic composition and eutectic temperature of benzoic acid-mandelic acid mixtures. Indentify an unknown compound using mixture melting points. Introduction Energy is needed to be applied to a solid compound in order

experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature‚ can help demonstrate the environment these organisms work best. Thus‚ if further studies are conducted on different enzymes‚ the more information is covered about certain organisms. In the experiment‚ each enzyme source was put to the test by being placed into different test tubes and baths with altered temperatures. In order to see how long the Amylase was hydrolyzing

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

AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

ecosystem more diverse than other one?” Hypothesis If ecosystem has more number of species and organisms within those species‚ it will have higher biodiversity. Justification of hypothesis According to formula for Simpson`s diversity index‚ D = N (N-1) / Σ n (n-1)‚ where N is total number of organisms‚ while n is sum of individuals within a specie‚ we can see that sum of all individuals and total number of organisms of particular species affect the biodiversity index. Variables Dependent variable Biodiversity

antibiotic and disinfectant sensitivity tests to identify an unknown bacterium. Materials and Methods Microscopic and Macroscopic Observations All samples and observations of the unknown bacterium were taken after 48 hours of incubation at 35° Celsius. Microscopic observations were performed on four different microscope slides. Three of these observations were gram stains and the last observation was of an endospore staining. The unknown bacteria samples for the endospore stain were taken off of
