Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

Radial Immunodiffussion (RID) Christian Crespo 18 October 2013 Immunology Lab Report Purpose of the Experiment: The objective of this experiment is to quantitatively observe the foundational reaction in our Immune system; the Antigen-Antibody interactions. The Ouchterlony procedure is what will be used in this lab to detect nature of the antibody interaction. The orientations of the band will provide more information about the interaction of antibody and antigen

cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the cell to be lower than that inside the cell. When placed in a hypertonic environment‚ the gradient in animal and plant cells are reversed and water exits the cell. This sudden release of water results in a shrinking membrane‚

_______________________________________________________________________ I. Introduction Photosynthesis the process where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts‚ and the carbohydrate reaction or synthesis takes place in the stroma. In plants there are five

Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

LAB ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find
