Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

between animal and plant cells. Although plant and animal cells both have mitochondria‚ cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes they differ in many ways. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and are round with irregular shapes. Centrioles are also present in all animal cells‚ as well as most eukaryotic cells. Plant cells only have centrioles if they are in the lower plant species. Both types of cells have vacuoles‚ but their functions are quite different. The purpose of vacuoles in a plant cell is to store water and

Beet Cell Lab Purpose: The purpose of this Lab was to see how much pressure or stress the beet tissue would hold. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the higher % of the solvent that the higher the colour intensity will be shown on the ph colour scale. The lower the solvent then the less colour shown. Materials: *Test Tubes (4) *Cork Borer *Beets *Water *1% Acetone *50% Acetone *1% Methanol *50% Methanol Procedure: *Cut 4 uniform cylinders of beet using a cork borer with a 5-mm

John Leone Lab Partner(s) Ethan Davis & Ryan Hanna Date: 12/10/14 Instructor: Dr. Chuckran Period: H Plants and Animal Cells Abstract: In this lab‚ you will find out how plant and animal cells are alike and how they are different. The onion elodea cells were both plants‚ so they had a cell wall. The cheek cells were animal cells‚ so they did not have a cell wall. Eukaryotic cells contain structures called organelles that carry out life processes. Eukaryotic cells can be classified by the types of organelles they contain
Premium Cell Organelle Eukaryote
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ and like any living organism‚ cells are made up of smaller structures that help them function. In the context of cells‚ these smaller structures are referred to as organelles and each organelle has its own unique function that has developed over time. While we are typically aware of how these organelles function‚ how they evolved raises several questions. The main model for how eukaryotic cells evolved over time is the endosymbiont theory. This

Functionally‚ eukaryotic genomes can be described as much larger and more complex than prokaryotic genomes. This means regulation is a lot more demanding and intensive within the eukaryotic genome. Due to its complex nature‚ eukaryotic gene regulation can bring genetic changes in its product that affect gene expression‚ phenotypic outlook‚ and advances in biotechnology. This can be thought of as an evolutionary advantage to organisms in an unstable environment. Gene regulation in eukaryotes is a
