Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky

rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinal‚ consumed as a delicacy‚ medicine‚ or spice. It lends its name to its genus and family (Zingiberaceae). Other notable members of this plant family are turmeric‚ cardamom‚ and galangal. The distantly related dicots in the Asarum genus have the common name wild ginger because of their similar taste. Ginger is indigenous to southern China‚ from whence it spread to the Spice Islands and other parts of Asia‚ and subsequently to West Africa and the Caribbean.[2]

hard not to notice the Asian cuisines and restaurants in every corner of the block.

It is the grain with the second-highest

When I think Caribbean‚ I think pirates and food. The idea of pirates is the result of watching too many Disney films‚ but the thought of food comes from all of the influences from the Caribbean that have become popular in many restaurants.

ROOTS * is an organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. * a part of a plant body that bears no leaves‚ and therefore also lacks of nodes. * is the beginning of the vascular system pipeline that moves water and minerals from the soil up to the leaves and fruits. FUNCTIONS OF ROOTS: * Underground (usually) * Anchor the plant in the soil * Absorb water and nutrients * Conduct water and nutrients * Food Storage ROOT SYSTEM: 1. Tap root system

A. thaliana has undergone three paleo-polyploidy events5: a paleohexaploidy (γ) event shared with most dicots (asterids and rosids) and two paleotetraploidy events (β then α) shared with other members of the order Brassicales. B. rapa shares this complex history but with the addition of a wholegenome triplication (WGT) thought to have occurred between 13

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special
