There is not a pattern to the data that was collected from the Cypress saplings. Groups 0.3 mmhos/cm and 2 mmhos/cm both fared better than 1 mmhos/cm. This leaves a hole in the pattern that was predicted to occur. I assumed that a gradual rate of health was going to appear from the results but no consistency was revealed. The most obvious course of conclusion is to say that not enough time was put into this experiment.…

Once the experiment was completed, the results of the experiment were reviewed. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis, change in temperatures does effect goldfish respiration rate, was accepted. Goldfish are considered ectotherms which mean that their body temperature changes as their environment temperature changes (White and Campo 2015). Ectotherms have two aquatic ectotherm strategies they use to cope with cold temperatures. The goldfish in this experiment used the first strategy, which is to slow down their metabolism.…
The cockles were then removed from the water and dried, then individually weighed. A bar graph was produced from this data and an ANOVA was…
The basic set-up for this experimental design would consist of eight plates, each with a single female beetle and eight beans. The two independent variables would be whether the female of South Indian descent or Burkina Faso descent (SI or BF) and what fraction of the seeds would be of the preferred seed type (100%, 75%, 50%, or 25%). This produced the eight different conditions studied in this experiment, and the dependent variable would be the average measure of the number eggs per a bean (not considering those that have no eggs) and of each bean type. These measurements would be recorded within an hour of preparing the plates as well as twenty-four hours later. With the measure of the average number of eggs per a bean, we learn more about the oviposition behavior of whether the conditions promote one egg to one bean or multiple eggs to one bean.…
Determining the affects of natural selection on gall fly (Eurosta) larvae from different predators Ariel O’Neil Biology 1020H Abstract This lab was done with the objective of determining if directional selection causes early larvae death in the gall fly. By first examining the parasitoid wasp and birds predatory actions we can hypothesize and predict the smaller galls will be most likely to survive directional selection.…
In the section with more than thirty percent anise had red bay had 63 and anise had 14. This shows again how the non-native plant is doing better than the native one. Finally we have rhododendron and kalmia. In the section with no damage we have 112 leaves for rhododendron and 99 for kalmia. In the less than ten percent part we see rhododendron has 105 leaves while kalmia has 99.…
Group A, the control was the healthiest of the three groups, however group C grew to be the overall highest 17.75 cm. This occurrence could be due to the plastic bags are plants replaced in. Group A showed signs that the plastic bags limited plant growth. The stem of the plants in group A where folded over top of themselves like a ribbon. This leads me to believe that the plastic bags would’ve been removed, group A would have outperformed group C in…
Daily Mail reported, “An island off the coast of Sao Paulo is home to the golden lancehead viper. It is the only place the so-called ‘world’s deadliest snake’ is known to live. Access to this island is banned by the Brazilian Government. In the past, many humans have been killed by its deadly inhabitants.” There are many mysteries in South America.…
Over time, the fields had many plant species thriving. The goldenrod group began to dominate the fields by growing taller, thus outcompeting other plants for the sun. This drew outbreaks of the leaf beetle, that specialized in eating goldenrods. The goldenrod population fell,…
Goldfish and boars (Compare and contrast) By; Anahit The horror in the land and sea caused by us, humans. The pigs and fish are roaming the sea and wild eating everything in there way. Both of them have a reason to do these kinds of things we throw the goldfish in the sea or rivers and, they start eating everything in there way and boars have a weird reason eight pigs were transferred here in California for food for the settlers and now they got revenge on us. They are eating everything in there way…
I averaged the rate for each experiment based on the daphnia’s behavior and appearance which typically reacted the same…
To show that these finding are accurate against all guppies of this species, the greenhouse experiment can be compared to a previously conducted field experiment. Endler (1978) and his researchers found a stream that had multiple ponds separated by tributaries and waterfalls to prevent populations from mingling. They took the guppies that were already living in ponds with high predation and moved them to predator-free ponds. The results were measured by how the guppies’ appearance changed after two years in their new pool. The conclusion of the field test supports the findings in the greenhouse experiment.…
The English Peppered Moth and Natural Selection Lab By: Justin Pascual Partners: Nathan Magbitang, Rudy Keyes-Krysakowski, and Glenn Tipold Teacher: Ms. Coopman Date Performed: November 16, 2015 The English Peppered Moth and Natural Selection Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine how variation in a population can favour survival of a certain trait over multiple generations. Hypothesis It is believed that if there are more speckled moths remaining in the tray at the end of the experiment, it will represent the fact that the conditions of the surrounding environment have favoured their colour.…
On a scruffy winters morning, I decided to crack through my egg after the 21 days of beginning in there. I cracked it open with beak it was kinda difficult at first but I eventually got through the egg. I hopped out of the egg and started to talk to my parents . They realized I was a special kind of egg cause I showed up late out of the egg.…
