Natural Selection Bean Lab Conclusion (CER)

The Black Bean is the best suited to its “habitat.” For our lab we placed 5 of each type of bean that included of the Whole green peas, Pinto beans, Cannellini beans, and Red Kidney beans into a habitat. We then rotated the habitat back and forth 10 times. This was one generation. Any beans that fell through the holes are considered dead. Any beans that stay in the habitat have survived and you multiple the current population of each bean by two.
After seven generations the black bean had the greatest population out of the different types of beans. At the end of the experiment the black bean population was 34. The other four types of beans had populations that were not as successful in the habitat.

    To resolve the plants from reproducing we cut off the pods that the plants had been produced. Many plants were either close in growth or far apart in growth. That is when we started to develop outliers in our experiment which separated us from other groups’ data. We did not have any outliers in our experiment, our final measurement for our plants were very close in…

    Pinto beans or in other words common beans are the most abundant beans in both Americans, making it major source of daily nutrients for large number of civilians. This experiment was done to examine if the number of seeds used in a specific area would affect the growth process using two pots (Control, Experiment). Control pot had two Pinto beans, while the Experiment pot had four seeds. Both pots were placed in the same room with same amount of water supply and light.…

    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).…

    Mendel studied genetics using flowers and pea plants. In a monohybrid, concerning one trait, cross, he crossed a purple (PP) plant with a white (pp) plant, and the offspring were all purple (Pp). He also crossed yellow, smooth peas (YYRR) with green, wrinkled peas (yyrr), which is a dihybrid cross because it involves 2 traits. The offspring of the cross, called F1 offspring because they are the first generation, resulted in 100% round (Rr) and yellow (Yy). The offspring were then intercrossed, and the offspring (F2 generation) resulted in 9:3:3:1 round and yellow (RRYY), round and green (RRyy), wrinkled and yellow (rrYY), and wrinkled and green…

    Each lab table was responsible for growing a pea plant. Nine pea plants were planted in total. The pea plants were separated into three groups. The first group was without any auxin, the second group had 500 ppm of auxin, and the last group had 5,000 ppm of auxin. The growth of the pea plants were recorded and ranked using a Wilcoxon test to determine which peas showed significant growth.…

    I think "The Bean Eaters" should be published in Family and Friends. The poem focuses less on their romantic relationship and more on the memories they shared earlier in their lives. The poem states that the couple was, "remembering, with twinklings and twinges," as they ate. They are thinking about fond memories they shared when they were younger. The author also mentions random items such as "beads and receipts and dolls and cloths, tobacco crumbs, vases and fringes.…

    In the period from 1860-1900, Darwin developed his theory of natural selection. Natural selection was the idea that a dominant species would overcome all the rest. This sparked many ideas and philosophies, such as a weakening in the church, the rise of Social Darwinism, and a surge of new ideas and thought. The church had always been the lead in the sciences of the day, but when scientists started to challenge the church, their strength began to falter.…

    In the article of natural selection by Charles Darwin there is a lot of strong points and powerful statements, but do we ever think about what makes them strong and powerful statements. You ever wonder what a theory really is? Darwin statement is considered a theory. It only became a theory through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos. No matter what articles always use some sort logos, ethos, and pathos.…

    According to my data, our hypothesis was inaccurate. The control plant grew an average of 13 millimeters a day with an overall straight posture and 1-2 leaves, whereas the miracle grow plant never sprouted. The creek water bean plant grew an average of 12 millimeters a day with an overall straight posture and 1-2 leaves. I believe that the science behind the seed dying is because of an error. The error was how much miracle grow I added to the water.…

    Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that occurs by random chance rather than natural selection. In genetic drift, a population experiences a change in the frequency of a given allele, prompted by random luck rather than a need for adaptation. This differs from natural selection, in which allelic frequency is altered based on the fittest genes surviving to reproduce and the weaker genes dying off. Genetic drift tends to be a phenomenon amongst smaller populations, while natural selection holds sway in larger populations. Life (168)…

    The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These mechanisms are based upon the changes that occur within an organism’s gene pool and how they affect those organisms and their survivability. Some of these mechanisms of evolution move quickly and affect large populations while others are slow moving and affect small populations. Not all of the evolutionary mechanisms are positive and benefit the population’s long term survival. Commonly these negative effects wipe out smaller populations that tend to be more isolated that large populations which have more genes to stave off the effects.…
