Introduction: Hi. My name is Greyston Aguilera and I will be testing the dynamics of basketball bouncing and how air pressure and outside temperature will affect how a ball bounces. Almost all sports involve using balls. In a lot of sports the weight and air pressure is regulated. For example‚ the National Basketball Association regulations say the ball air pressure must be between 7.5 pound per-square-inch (psi) and 8.5 psi. That means that if you have less than 7.5 pounds of air pressure in

Introduction A sample of DNA found in a crime scene was provided along with five suspects. Their DNA was then processed using restriction enzymes and Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. The objective of this lab was to match a criminals DNA to a crime scene using restriction enzymes EcoRI and Pstl with Agarose gel electrophoresis. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a specific base pair site recognized by the enzyme‚ which then turns one single strand of DNA into many fragmented strands of DNA. EcoRI recognizes
