Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary

Overall‚ this experiment consisted of over seven parts however‚ because of the amount of time given in summer lab we had to save time and cut some days out. We were able to do this by being given our own Salicylic acid (SA) prepared for us instead of having to used wintergreen to make it and recrystallize it. In addition‚ we skipped the qualitative test of our purity for SA and Aspirin (ASA). The first part of this experiment is the preparation of ASA from SA were‚ we prepared our aspirin from the

Effects of Temperature and pH on Enzyme Function Chelsie Mesa Section 0479 Robin Cotter Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown enzymes. This is done by using different temperature and pH to affect the function of the enzyme‚ which ultimately‚ will affect how much maltose is produced. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and the enzyme

animal though? In this experiment we are using lab mice‚ Mus musculus‚ to see if the introduction of a predator scent (fox urine) increases‚ decreases‚ or has no effect on the metabolic rate within them. We will calculate the mass specific metabolic rate and use a t-test to determine if there is a significant change in metabolic rate when the mouse is exposed to the predator urine and when it is not exposed. With these mice being born and raised in a lab‚ the fox urine should have no effect on the metabolic

minutes. We came out results that showed a marginal difference between the amounts of CO2 produced at different temperatures. The results showed that increased temperature causes an increase in fermentation rate and increased production of CO2. Introduction: Fermentation is the break down of organic matter‚ by microorganism‚ in the absence of oxygen also known as anaerobic (Van Neil‚ 2008). Our reactions occurs when yeasts is added to a solution of glucose and water. Fermentation starts with a process

Internship or on the job training is one way by which we students are given an opportunity to apply the theories and computations that we have learned from school. It also helps us to obtain applicable knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum For us students‚ an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For
