In our ecocolumn many changes occurred over the several week course we were observing and collecting data on the three chambers. Aquatic and Decomposition quickly turned septic while terrestrial experienced plant growth. Overall the health of the ecosystem was very poor due to the severe changes in the aquatic chamber. Terrestrial In the Terrestrial camber of our ecocolumn‚ several changes happened over time. The clover seeds planted at the beginning had a rapid growth rate. At one point our chamber

Abstract The basic principle of Mendelian inheritance was studied using the fruit fly‚ Drosophila Melanogaster. A Cinnabar Brown female was crossed with Wild Type male. The flies were mated in a jar containing a nutrient medium and then placed in an incubator. The experiment was conducted over a period of 5 weeks. Cinnabar (cn) and brown (bw) are two loci in Drosophila with recessive eye colour mutations. Mutations in cn cause a bright red eye and mutations in bw cause a brown eye. Double mutants
