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

The results did not support this hypothesis. It has been established that heart rate in Daphnia magna increases when there is a progressive lack of oxygen present. (Baumer et.al 2002). When the salinity of water increases there are increases in Na+ ions as well as Cl- ions. This increase in ion concentration causes a change in osmotic alternation and a competition between all the ions. (de la Paz Gomez-Diaz and Martinez-Jeronimo 2008). Although increase in

Conclusion In a prior lab‚ it was given that the enzyme Aspergillus oryzae (fungus) works best at warm temperatures and an acidic pH‚ porcine (pig) works best at body temperature (37 ºC) and

which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a spectrum of colors called visible light. When visible light is absorbed it is also reflected‚ such as the green and yellow

called calorimetry. In this lab activity‚ calorimetry will be used to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. This will be done by using a styrofoam cup calorimeter containing water. A calorimeter is insulated so as to minimize any loss of energy to the surroundings. Therefore‚ when a heated piece of metal is placed into the calorimeter‚ all of the energy should be accounted for. In other words‚ the energy released from the metal should be gained by the water‚ with no loss to the surroundings

PHYSICS INTERNAL ASSESSMENT How to measure the density of water using graphical method? Name: Chia Yee Xin Candidate Number: Session: October 2014 School: Sri KDU International School Research Question: To measure the density of water using graphical method. Introduction: Water is the most abundant compound on the Earth and it covers about 70% of the Earth’s surface. Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of

eroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is related to the temperature then in high temperature it will speeds the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Materials ● Catalase ● Hydrogen peroxide 3% and 1% ● Forceps ● Filter paper discs ● Water ● Ice ● Water baths ● Vials ● Marking Pencils ● Stopwatch Procedure 1. Set up an ice bath (0°C)‚ a room temp water bath‚ a 37°C bath and a boiling water bath

A company has specified that the acceptable size of a knob that is to be produced is (0.140 ± 0.003) inches. In this lab‚ the dimensions of the knobs produced in one day are tested for discrepancy in order to pass control testing. This lab also reports the probability that knobs with the acceptable dimension will be produced. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Microsoft Excel‚ a histogram was created displaying the three documented dimensions of 15 batches of knobs. This histogram was obtained in order

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound
