When we fill in the Punnett square, we can then determine the probability of each genotype and phenotype. For this exercise, we will determine the expected outcomes for a specific cross and then test to see if the real results resemble these expected outcomes. Pour the coins from the bag onto the table top and record the outcome below.

Your grade is not based on how “good” your footprint is; rather, it is based on what you notice about your footprint, what you learn from it, and what you decide to do to improve it. Use the website Foot Print Calculator You’ll also be putting some of the data you enter into the calculator into the spaces below.

Consider the following scenario: you get in your car but when you turn the key, the car doesn’t start. Using a meter to measure the battery’s voltage, you find that the battery is dead. Given the information you gained from this experiment, you conclude that the car failed to start originally due to a dead battery.

While you will not need to identify any particular species of bacteria in this class, you should be able to identify the various characteristics seen below. Form: The overall shape of the colony Elevation: The height of the colony Margin: The shape of the colony’s border In addition to form, elevation, and margin, you may also see different colors.

Around the room are several animal specimens which have been identified with a letter. Using the dichotomous key found in Appendix C, identify each animal in the room. * Modified by Karen Marks, adapted from "The Diversity of Animal Life" by Jerry Kirkhart & Shirley McManus, Fresno City College is licensed under CC BY 4.0

Place a balloon over the top of each tube. Measure the diameter of each balloon and record it in Table 5.6. Place each tube in their respective environment and leave the tubes alone for 40 minutes, checking every 10 minutes. After 40 minutes, measure the diameter of each balloon. Wash all tubes with soap and water.

For this exercise, your group will use chalk to draw each phase of mitosis on the lab bench and then explain what happens during each phase to your instructor. In your explanations, you must follow these “rules”: Everyone in the group must participate You must use the proper terminology to explain something Be prepared before calling the instructor over

We also learned about our chromosomes in lecture and in Lab 8 and that we have two of each chromosome, meaning we have two copies of every gene. These more prominent alleles are called dominant and are written using capital letters while the masked alleles are called recessive and shown using lower case letters.

Add 1 mL of ice-cold ethanol to the tube by tilting the tube at a 45° angle and slowly dripping the ethanol down the side of the tube. Consider the fact that the procedure called for the ethanol to be poured so that it floated over the top of the wheat germ slurry.

Cells are membrane-bound biological units that contain DNA and have the ability to control their own metabolism and reproduction. They require the invasion and takeover of a cell to reproduce since they do not have the machinery to produce more viruses.
