Lab 11: Mitosis Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle process by which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes‚ each in its own nucleus. Mitosis has several phases during the cell cycle. The experiment obligated pictures of onion root tips under the microscope. The pictures had cells and chromosomes. The pictures also had different phases of mitosis in them. As my hypothesis‚ cells stay in the interphase the longest. To begin the experiment‚ there were pictures

Control experiments - an experiment in which the variable factors are controlled so as to make it possible to observe the results of varying one factor at a time. Qualitative descriptive research (case studies) – Ultimate goal is to improve practice. This presupposes a cause/effect relationship between behavior and outcome; however‚ this method will ONLY let you hypothesize about variables and describe them. When you move to show correlation among them‚ you’re doing quantitative work. But remember

Sickle-Cell Disease Discovery: http://www.sicklecellanaemia.org/sickle-cell-disease/discovery-of-sickle-cell-disease James Herrick was a doctor in Chicago‚ USA‚ and wrote about his observations of a patient with severe anaemia. When blood samples were viewed under the microscope Herrick noted “peculiar elongated and sickle-shaped red blood corpuscles”.

Africa. Spencer Wells quest to find the genetic marker to link ancestors over 60‚000 years ago is done by taking blood samples from hundreds of men on the migration route. Women were not sampled because the X chromosome evolves‚ thus only the Y chromosome could be used. I was astonished by the process used to retrieve DNA from blood that Wells shows the viewers. In the hundreds of samples of blood taken‚ Spencer Wells scouts for a certain feature in a DNA strand and finds

Genetic Project: Down Syndrome What is Down Syndrome? Down Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where a child is born with an extra partial or full chromosome 21‚ thus leading to the over-expression of many genes present on this extra chromosome. Therefore‚ it is neither dominant nor recessive. Down Syndrome affects about 1 in 700 babies born‚ making it one of the most common genetic birth defects in the United States. There are actually 3 different types of Down Syndrome‚ Trisomy 21 (Nondisjunction)

Define the terms zygote‚ chromosomes‚ genes‚ and DNA‚ and explain how they are related. What do you think of when you hear the words zygote‚ chromosomes‚ genes and deoxyribonucleic acid also known as DNA? Those words all are contribute of the genetic make-up of your life. Zygote‚ chromosomes‚ genes and DNA are all related. They are extremely important in life and we need those to even be here today. Without those we are nothing. The zygote is a single cell formed at conception. The zygote contains

in which a cell breaks apart its chromosome to eventually produce two identical daughter cells. The cell spends 10% of its time in mitosis. The cell goes through four stages in order to complete this task. The stages are Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase and Telophase. Mitosis only occurs in eukaryotic cells and the process is different for different species. Mitosis is fast and very complex. The first phase is Prophase. In prophase‚ the chromosomes the chromosomes start to coil‚ shorten‚ and become
