The Determination of Keq for FeSCN2+ Joy Muthami February 12 2014 Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction of iron (III) ions with thiocyanate ions. The materials were first acquired then with the groups in the class each team was given a test solution to create and acquire information from then all the information was put together in order to save time. Specifically the group created test solutions #8‚ #9‚ and #10. Once the solutions were

Sex determination in plants Summary- Evolutionary transitions happened gradually from hermaphroditism to monoec in which multiple sex determining genes are involved which include male-sterility and female-sterility factors. There should not be any recombination between different loci which is the pivotal reason for the genetic degeneration of Y chromosomes. There are several theories attached to Y chromosome degeneration that are reviewed recently . Introduction: why are plant sex chromosomes
