Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO ’s for short. What is a transgene? A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example‚ a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant ’s DNA would be a transgene

Transpiration Abstract This lab demonstrates how different environments effect the rate of transpiration in plants. A potometer is set up and placed in four different environments: one simply at room temperature (the control)‚ one with a fan pointing toward it creating a gentle breeze‚ on with a floodlight on it and a beaker felled with water as a heat sink‚ and one where the leaves are misted then covered with a transparent plastic bag. It is imperative that the tubing doesn ’t have any bubbles

http://newmetode.Sharestiforp.com Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells‚ tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation. Different techniques in plant tissue culture may offer certain advantages over traditional methods of propagation‚ including: • The production of exact copies of plants that produce particularly

the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting. Background: The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds‚ freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done‚ the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better observation of the roots‚ and

Fukushima Power Plant Nuclear power plants now account for 14% of the world’s electricity supply [1]. These power plants differ only by the fuel used from oil coal or gas power plants. The concept is otherwise the same. Large nuclei become unstable when struck with a neutron‚ his causes it to split apart and also produce neutrons which are fire out. This then causes a chain reaction and other nuclei are split up. This splitting of nuclei is called nuclear fission and it provides heat which heats
