Bone Marrow Lab Report Examples

Based on the extensive research conducted on the samples of the water at various locations and of the victim’s bodily fluids, it is evident that the location of the drowning was at Duck’s pond. The most reliable test for diatoms in an autopsy of the body would be a bone marrow extract. This is because the diatoms present in the bone marrow are guaranteed to have come from the liquid inhaled during drowning. This is not true for the other diatoms found in the body which came from extractions of soft tissue organs such as Euglena, Anabaena, Vorticella, Volvox and more. The only diatom present in the victim’s bone marrow extract at the time was Synedra. In the victim’s swimming pool, it is highly unlikely for there to be algae of any kind which

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

Denali, Alaska, 17,660 Feet People tend to experience dizziness, headache, fatigue, shortness of breath,decrease in brain function, headache, dizziness, frostbite, hypothermia, etc. at higher altitudes due to a decrease of atmospheric pressure. Mark experienced a shortness of breath and could not seem to feel better even when he paused his climb to “take a breather.” This is very common for people who are not accustomed to the difference in pressure because of the difference of altitudes. Same goes for Emily who experienced a headache due to a decrease in oxygen in the air and therefore, in her body.…

    Interactive Question 7.2 Cite some experimental evidence that indicates that membrane proteins drift. A good form of experimental evidence is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, aka FRAP. In the FRAP process, membrane proteins are labelled with a green fluorescent protein, and part of the plasma membrane is “bleached” with a laser, causing them to lose their fluorescence. The part that was bleached will eventually become fluorescent again, as molecules drift in by diffusion.…

    It can not be determined that ammonium sulfate can be used to find the LC50 of Daphnia Magna. In every trial, there was no data that was consistent or logical to be used to determine an accurate LC50. The LC50 is the point at which the concentration of a pollutant is lethal to 50% of the organisms. Static toxicity tests occur when the aquatic organisms are exposed to the same pollutant concentration for the duration of the test. The data in the first two trials had mostly 100% death rates regardless of the ammonium sulfate solutions.…

    RESULTS: An experiment was conducted to document the patterns of evolution in the fictional species, Cannus stannous. Fitness of the C. stannous population is determined solely by its ability to retain heat. Three genes determined heat retention; can size, skin type, and water level. Each gene had three alleles, producing 27 possible phenotypic combinations (Table 1).…

    Our laboratory experiment revolves around how LPS (contained on the surface of bacterial cells) effects the activity level of macrophages. We determined the macrophage activity level by measuring how much IL-6 cytokine was elicited by the macrophages. Cigarette smoke has a direct influence on the amount of IL-6 elicited by a macrophage. Interaction between nicotine contained in cigarette smoke reduces the rate of IL-6 transcription by a macrophage. I have 2 working theories as to why the IL-6 elicitation is reduced.…

    As long as I can remember, population has always categorized individuals by their skin color, beliefs, traditions, etc. In the article “ One Drop of Blood” by Lawrence Wright, it explains that many people usually do not marry their own race and have children that do not have a race. Parents are most likely to be erroneous when it is time to choose or categorize their own children’s race. This happens because parents do not know whether their children are African American or White. Basically, they do not know what race their children belong to since there is not a multiracial race.…

    Stem cells are present everywhere in the body. The most common sources are Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood, and many more, but, the extraction of stem cells from these sources is a painful process, while Umbilical cord stem cells can be collected through a simple, non-invasive process at the time of birth, without any harm to the mother or the baby. The preserved stem cells can be easily retrieved at any time. During transplants, cord blood stem cells pose lower risk of rejection. These are naïve cells and offer higher matching ability than stem cells from other sources.…

    In addition, procedure part H contains the viewing of cheek cells, cheek cells are a high-caliber option for identifying the membrane, and cytoplasm of a cell. To begin, place a drop of methylene blue on a slide, then smear a toothpick amongst the inside of the cheek, lastly smear the toothpick onto the stained slide. Cheek cells just like starch cells are hard to be viewed without the addition of a staining chemical, in this case, the methylene blue will make the cheek cells have a slight blue tint so they are more easily observed. Place the slide on the stage of the microscope then view and center the cheek cells under the scanning-power objective, move the slide and alter the stage to put the cheek cells into focus. When locating the cheek…

    The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it turned red to ensure that there were no current bacteria on the loop avoiding contamination followed by rapidly flaming the neck of the test tube to prevent the entry and contamination of unwanted microbes.…
