Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria 979554296 Biology 110 Lab Introduction: In Israel there exists multiple spots in the mountains called Evolution Canyons‚ which are all located between a southern facing slope (SFS) and a northern facing slope (NFS). What’s particularly interesting about these locations is that despite the two slopes being on opposite sides of a small canyon‚ they exhibit extremely contrasting conditions. The SFS receives multiple times the UV radiation from the sun

In the unknown identification labs‚ we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant‚ the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges. I think we correctly identified our unknown as P. aeruginosa because we performed several different tests‚ eleven

In this lab‚ we extracted spinach pigments‚ and analyzed what colors of light these pigments absorb. By using TLC plate‚ hexane and acetone‚ I separated the pigments of spinach‚ and discovered that the main pigments were green and yellow. This works because with different polarities‚ pigments move at different rates. Hexane and acetone were also used to separate chlorophyll and carotene from spinach. Since they are polar‚ they can separate organic and inorganic things. From the experiment‚ I know

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

and Ives‚ 1994). The virtual team represents an important example of these new organizational forms (Jarvenpaa and Ives‚ 1994). Virtual teams are groups of geographically‚ temporally‚ and/or organizationally dispersed knowledge workers brought together across time and space by way of information and communication technologies (DeSanctis and Poole‚ 1997; Jarvenpaa and Leidner‚ 1999; Lipnack and Stamps‚ 1997; Townsend et al.‚ 1998). We limit our investigation to a class of virtual teams that has recently

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for

A. Avril Crayfish Lab Report November 9‚ 2012 Dr. Marvin Results: Figure 1. Firing Rate of Tonic Receptor in Response to Stretch. The correlation between Firing Rate and Stretch of the slow adapting crayfish receptor for four different sets of data is represented in this figure. The recordings are taken at stretches of 2‚ 4‚ 6‚ 8‚ and 10 mm of the crayfish tail. The best fit lines for the different sets of data are as follows: Ali and Emily- Linear best fit line‚ Dave and Laura- Exponential

Succession Lab INTRODUCTION: The purpose of our lab was to begin to understand the rates of succession. Succession is a number of persons or things following one another in order or sequence. Considering that all living things follow some sort of order‚ Joey Collins‚ Brian Carman‚ Chris Broadwater‚ Marisa Grondin‚ and I attempted to figure the succession rates of two different forests. In order to do this we used the forest behind the elementary school and the forest behind the track‚ by the

Moore stated the number of transistors in computer chips increase per unit cost every two year. Extrapolating this accelerating pace‚ logic dictates that computers will be powerful enough to give rise to Virtual Reality applications by 2020. Seeing the world today‚ computers are used for various Virtual reality applications such as simulations. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system. Simulations are used for various actives such as: scientific researches‚ home

Sterling Hayden AP Biology Mrs. Proehl 24 November 2014 I. Title Effect of Differing pH‚ Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate II. Introduction Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms
