Finch Evolution Over 100 Years: Darwin Island vs. Wallace Island Kristin Moeller Tamu Hagwood September 2‚ 2013 Evolution of Finches by Population and Land Size Introduction and Purpose Finches reside on two islands‚ Darwin and Wallace. Parameters for one island will be changed to study the evolution of the finch’s beak size and population. This experiment will show basic principles of evolution by examining the finches over a time frame of 100 years. The purpose of this experiment

Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently

Human VNTR Biology 101 October 23‚ 2009 Lab Partner: INTRODUCTION All human beings have genomes‚ or DNA that include all of their unique genetic information. Every strand of DNA is different per individual‚ which accounts for human diversity in the world. Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) is a short sequence of DNA that is repeated at a specific chromosomal locus. The number of tandem repeated units vary between individuals; therefore‚ every human being’s unique sequence of base pairs can

This evolution that happens in response to the changes in the biotic factors of the ecosystem is called co-evolution. The habits or changes in one organism in an ecological relationship create a pressure that drives changes to another. Therefore‚ evolutionary changes in organisms due to changes in temperature‚ water and other abiotic factors are not co-evolution‚ even if changes happen simultaneously in organisms that are in a specific ecological relationship. Easily observable co-evolution occurs

Bio 104-03 Lab #3- Acids Bases‚ and Buffers 1. An acid is a substance that releases hydrogen ions as they desolve in water and ranks lower than seven on the pH scale. An example of an acidic substance is lemon juice. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions and ranks higher than seven on the pH scale. An example of a base substance is hand soap. A neutral substance ranks a seven on the pH scale and has equal concentrations of H+ and OH-. An example of this is pure water. Electrolytes
