In this population cage‚ it used Drosophila melanogaster because is a common model organism for genetic studies. In this population cage‚ it was calculated the coefficient of selection of an actual sample and an ago sample. In this experiment‚ it was used the actual sample #4 and the ago sample #3. The result of the coefficient of selection should be at the rate between 0 and 1. The result was 0.82‚ so it was a good result of the coefficient of selection between these two samples (#4 and #3).

In this experiment‚ we analyzed the regeneration of planaria over a two week period. We chose to use flatworms due to their ability to grow into a new animal if cut in half or several pieces. This reproductive ability to regenerate is called fission and occurs in flatworms due to their embryonic stem cells called neoblasts. We obtained the flatworms used in this experiment by first placing a few drops of spring water on a petri dish so that the flatworms will be able to survive a couple of weeks

The defect manifests as a protrusion of the infant’s bowels‚ liver and various abdominal organs through an opening in the muscles near the umbilical cord.

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure A healthy prenatal environment is a key factor for a fetus in the womb. Alcohol‚ caffeine‚ tobacco‚ and drugs are just some of the dangerous teratogens that can affect the soon to be born baby. However‚ alcohol can be one of the most hazardous teratogens to a fetus. Prenatal alcohol exposure may cause Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)‚ childhood depressive symptoms‚ lowered IQ and much more. Prenatal alcohol exposure may cause irreversible damages to a child.

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine how low and high densities of radish and wheat seeds affect the plants growth rate and competition. The competition occurs when resources are limited to the plants. The two types of competitions that occur are interspecific and intraspecific. Interspecific is a competition between two different species and intraspecific is a competition between the plants own species. This experiment was conducted by taking 6 pots containing soil and placing
