systems of a cell resulting to its regulation‚ maintenance and function. Many of these systems involve genetic information hence the study of the DNA is an essential part of this field. To able to analyze DNA‚ it must first be isolated and purified from its natural environment filled with biological molecules and compounds that cause physical or chemical interference in an experimental set-up. Several protocols have been established to efficiently extract DNA‚ one of which‚ the CTAB method‚ was performed

Graph 1‚ illustrates the pH of each quadrat. The pH in Quadrat 1 was more acidic than the pH in Quadrat 2‚ 3‚ and 4 this is due to the slope of the ground (refer to Graph 8)‚ different soil substrate and the decomposition of organic matter. As can be seen from Graph 8‚ the soil pH increased with a decrease in the slope of the ground. In Quadrat 1‚ the soil had a pH of 7.5 due to having a higher soil elevation of -8° in comparison to Quadrat 2‚ 3 and 4‚ in which the slope of the ground was -2°‚ -2°

Understanding the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) assesses the degree that quantitative variables are linearly related in a sample. Each individual or case must have scores on two quantitative variables (i.e.‚ continuous variables measured on the interval or ratio scales). The significance test for r evaluates whether there is a linear relationship between the two variables in the population. The appropriate correlation coefficient depends on the scales
