Strawberry Dna Experiment

Decent Essays
In order to maintain the safety of the scientists, safety glasses were used throughout the experiment. Through the use of this safety procedure, the scientists had a significantly reduced risk of being injured during the experiment, therefore making the experiment safer.
In order to eliminate risk of harm, confidentiality, anonymity, voluntary participation and informed consent, strawberry DNA was used rather than human DNA. By using the DNA of a strawberry rather than that of a human, the safety of the experiment is reduced significantly as a human subject is not needed. This means that there is no risk of the subject being injured during the experiment. Furthermore, the use of strawberry DNA eliminates the need for confidentiality, anonymity,

    According to the Electronic Data Information Source (EDIS) of University of Florida (UF) and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS), the state of Florida ranks second in the production of strawberry. The state of Florida produces between 10 and 15 percent of the total US crop, and 100 percent of the domestically produced winter crop. In addition, approximately 95 percent of Florida’s commercial strawberry production is located in the counties of Hillsborough and Manatee. In addition, it is important to mention that strawberry is the most expensive crops to produce, making the control of diseases and pests a key factor in its production. Strawberry crops are attacked by several insects and mites both in field and greenhouse production,…

    During the lab, many rules were provided to keep one safe during the lab. Goggles were to be worn on one's eyes at all times to prevent chemicals from going into one's eyes. All substances were not to be tasted for any reason. Iodine solution and some powders were hazardous and it was instructed to handle them with care. Once done it was advised that one should wash their hands to prevent chemicals from spreading to other materials such as food, other people, etc..…

    Genetic Analysis in Plants Trev Mumm and Peter Masinelli Life 120 – Lab Section 122 April 28th, 2014 ABSTRACT We completed this lab to classify and count phenotypic traits in plant crosses with one or two segregating mutations, and we also learned how to use the Chi-Square test as a tool to access the statistical significance data collected from a genetic cross. Our hypothesis for the experiment that included green and albino corn genetics, was that the ratio of green to albino seedlings would be 3:1. Our results showed that we were almost exactly right with that hypothesis.…

    Although there isn't always a definite answer on who did the crime, DNA technology has evolved and is a great tool to provide evidence for a case. With that said, DNA alone is not enough to find a suspect guilty or not guilty. DNA is evidence used to determine who committed the crime, how they committed the crime, or if they are innocent. In 1999, in Australia, a girl was raped, and named Frank Button as the criminal who committed the crime. The sheets and pillowcases from where the assault took place were sent to the laboratory, but not tested.…

    The question I investigated is if organisms are more attracted to a strawberry then nothing. My hypothesis was "If one cup has a raspberry and the other doesn't" Then The cup with the raspberry will catch more organisms because They want to eat the raspberry so they go into trap number 2. " My hypothesis was correct because I caught ten more organisms the the one with out a lure. After all this research I could come to the conclusion that organisms like raspberry compared to nothing at all. Some evidence from my expire ment that supports the conclusion is that the raspberry caught about 10 organisms while the empty one caught only 1.…

    Testing on animals is an ongoing debate among people due to the reasoning, pros and cons, and the alternative choices available. There are many reasons that people test on animals. “Animal experimentation became the primary method of learning about anatomy, physiology, and disease processes.” (13). Using animals for…

    The focus of this research project encompasses the manner in which grain morphology (grain size and shape) pertains to liquid water existence. Especially through processes where the erosion of a sediment occurs through water or wind contact. The question guiding the project is as follows: How does the grain morphology of basaltic analogue sands pertain to liquid water existence? Reasons for choosing this topic area include my interest in space sciences and exploration, particularly in astrophysics. After hearing about possible research that could be undertaken as to the existence of liquid water on Mars from Mark Bishop my interest in the topic sparked.…

    Nothing lasts forever and that includes your safety glasses. Although they're a low maintenance item, wear and tear, damage, and degradation will render them less effective at protecting your eyes. In fact, if they're sufficiently damaged, they aren't protecting your eyes at all. At least with no glasses, you would keep your eyes out of harm's way. Exposing your eyes to dangerous situations with bad safety glasses is asking for an injury or worse.…

    The Evolution of Genetic Modification The conventional genetic alteration of the makeup of plants has been occurring for millennia; harvesting the seeds from the best crops and planting them years down the line; breeding and crossbreeding certain genes to make foods grow bigger and give them a sweeter taste. Through this intuitive process, humans have managed to transform the small, wild tomato into a number of different varieties: from big to small, beefsteak to grape, revolutionizing the food industry with every step taken (Journal of Biotechnology). Because of the invention of GM foods, individuals across the globe are given the opportunity to broaden their palate to that of a more diverse level, allowing for a happier and healthier lifestyle. However, with the evolution of technology also comes great controversy.…

    Practical Title: The pros and cons of cell signalling experiments: risk assessments Aims: The aim of this experiment was to identify the risks associated with working in a laboratory by carrying out a risk assessment. The risk assessment instructed us how to safely work in a laboratory while being aware of these risks and what procedures to carry out if an accident happened in the laboratory. Methodology: Prior to the beginning of the risk assessment, laboratory coats, nitrile rubber gloves and labortartory goggles were worn to protect and shield from the dangerous chemicals that would be encountered during the assessment.…
