    Method Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were provided by the instructor for the experiment at Mount Royal University. There were four or more bean plants in each of the four pots. The first task was to choose the best three plants in each pot based on whether they had two big healthy leaves and so the three plants looked relatively similar. The excess plants were cut out so that each of the four pots contained three plants, making a total of twelve plants. Each of the four represented a different treatment that occurred to the three bean plants in that pot.…

    Another issue that was pretty clear was that the amount of water that I watered each plant with was too much. Water dripped out from the bottom of the plants quite frequently. This could be a problem because an excess of water slows the growth of plants down. However, after conducting my experiment for many days, I decreased the amount of water that I used. If I conduct this experiment another time, I would only put as much water as needed for the plants, if water was dripping from the bottom of the plants I would reduce the amount of water that was used.…

Each pot was labelled sequentially from 1 to 30 along with the soil treatment it would receive, either 100% vermiculite or 90% vermiculite, and the planting density, either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 seeds planted. The 100% vermiculite soil treatment was then prepared by using a clean 0.95-liter black plastic pot and adding 15 pots of vermiculite to a large mixing tub. Once this was done, 2300 mL of tap water was also added to the mixing tub and mixed together until consistent.…

    Purpose: The overall goal of this lab was to perform a procedure on E. Coli which involved transferring genes that encoded for the green fluorescent protein into E. Coli to see if the transferred genes would make a difference on the growth and whether or not the bacteria would glow under UV light. Hypothesis: If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then the bacteria will grow but not glow under UV light. If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB, ampicillin, and arabinose then it will be able to grow and glow under UV light. If the bacteria without pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then it will not be able to grow or glow under UV light.…
