The Variation of Yeast Cells When Adding an Antibiotic Biology 1401- A October 21‚ 2013 Abstract. -- The main focus in this experiment was to find out if antibiotics affect yeast cells culture when added. The observation of the two cultures along with the yield of yeast cell reproduction between the two cultures was the sole purpose of the experiment; culture-A (- antibiotic) and culture-B (+ antibiotic). Our hypothesis stated whether antibiotic effects yeast cells cultures. This theory was

This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100‚ 200‚ and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection‚ the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size
