Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

Earthworm Smooth Muscle In this experiment‚ contractions of the earthworm gut are measured in an organ bath with a force transducer. The effect of neurotransmitters and ionic concentrations on contraction strength and rate will be investigated. Written by staff of ADInstruments With acknowledgement to: Dr. Stuart I. Cromarty‚ Department of Natural Sciences‚ Assumption College‚ Worcester‚ MA‚ USA. [pic] Background Smooth muscle is one of three muscle fiber types found in animals. Unlike

Mr. Mihordea Motion of Atoms and Molecules lab summary In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also‚ the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat

Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup

The purpose of the lab was to measure the effectiveness of antacids at neutralizing excess stomach acid. A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt. To illustrate‚ H+ hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions OH- from the base. Antacids are taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. For instance‚ antacids such as alka-seltzers contain baking soda which is highly reactive with acids‚ settling the discomfort of indigestion

the highest amount rise‚ which will show us the optimal color of light for photosynthesis. These different colors of light included blue‚ red‚ green‚ fluorescent‚ regular light‚ and classroom light. The classroom light was our control cup during the lab. Before we conducted our experiment‚ the class learned about the photosynthetic process of‚ not only spinach discs‚ but plants in general. As I did more research on photosynthesis‚ the Calvin Cycle‚ wavelengths and pigments required for a proper equation

Erythrocytes Survive 120 Days Hemoglobin * Globin: 4 folded polypeptide chains * Heme: Iron group in each polypeptide that binds 02 Enzymes: * Glycolytic: generate energy through glycolysis due to lack of mitochondria * Carbonic anhydrase: for transport of CO2 into HCO3 Erythropoiesis: * regeneration of new cells in the bone marrow Erythropoietin (hormone): * when kidneys detect not enough 02 they secrete this hormone which stimulates erythropoiesis‚ increasing 02 capacity

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to apply Mendel’s laws to predict the probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ of two independent events and of certain traits in offspring of parents exhibiting traits. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk in 1866‚ who studied how traits were passed using pea plants. From his studies of inheritance‚ he created three laws of inheritance: the law of dominance‚ the law of segregation‚ and the law of independent assortment. He called genes ‘’factors’’

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

pulmonary‚ and aortic valves. These valves help create the heart sounds often referred to as “Lub” and ‘Dub”. Thus‚ the Lub sound is the closing of the atrioventricular valve‚ and the Dub sound is the closing of the pulmonary and aortic valve. In this lab‚ we became familiar with the functions of the heart. We also determined
