ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab is to describe possible genotypes of corn and plants in procedure 17.2, and find their color and height ratio; in procedure 17.3 codominance will be observed in human blood, and the blood types of unknown samples will be determined. In procedure 17.4, Rh positive and Rh negative will be tested for in blood samples. A unit of heredity on a chromosome is called a gene. Mendel’s particulate theory states that offspring have characteristics inherited from their…

million people around the world, have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Around two hundred people in the United States are diagnosed with MS each week. (Pietrangelo and Higuera). Statistics by Location. Rates of MS are higher, farther from the equator. Approximately between fifty-seven and seventy-eight cases of Multiple Sclerosis arise per 100,000 people in the southern states. However, between 110 and 140 cases of MS arise per 100,000 people in the northern states. People who live in…

surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The Caribbean Sea is to the North of the country and the Pacific Ocean is to the West. The countries bordering Colombia are Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Colombia is located near the Equator, which creates a diverse climate. One of the world’s greatest mountain ranges subsides in Colombia. The Andean Cordillera, also known as the Andes Cordillera, makes up most of the landscape of the Western part of Colombia, where most of…

genetic information to be shared between chromosomes that way when the homologous chromosomes are split, some information from both will be included in the two haploid cells. During Metaphase I, the homologous chromosome pairs are lined up at the equator randomly and spindle fibers attach to the kinetochore of each chromosome. The actual splitting process is also a little different in Meiosis; once the spindles begin pulling the chromosomes in opposite directions, the chromosomes are still…

There have been many influential historical figures throughout the Renaissance. Nearly all of these figures are credited as a mighty hero or a brilliant human being. While not all of society may acknowledge Christopher Columbus as a spectacular personage, he still has changed the course of the Renaissance significantly. Born in Genoa Italy, 1451, Christopher not only discovered trade winds and how they work, but he also introduced more efficient weapons to the Native Americans. Yet perhaps…

Trench there would still be 2183 meters (7166 feet) of water left above it. Although the Trench is very deep it is actually not the spot closest to the center of the Earth. Because the planet bulges at the equator, the radius at the poles is about 25 km (16 miles) less than the radius at the equator. The pressure on the floor of the trench is more than 8 tons per square inch (703 kilograms per square meter), which is more than 1000 times the pressure at the sea level. Because of this, parts of…

China, Japan, Australia, Africa, and India. The powerful and swirling storm begins over warm seas, usually near subtropical regions, and goes westward and often towards the poles. Hurricanes must form 5° north or south of the equator, and very few actually form closer to the equator than that. Meteorologists use balloons and satellites to watch rising and falling pressure, which can cause hurricanes. They also use special airplanes to investigate growing storms, which could potentially turn into…

We know that all living things need to make cells to survive. Old cells die and need to be replaced. In order for living things to continue to grow, cells are constantly being made. OpenStax states that the process of new cells being made is called cell division (2013). There are three types of cell division and those are binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. Binary fission is a quick and simple process involving replication, elongation, separation, and daughter cells. Meiosis and mitosis are…

Broome - Climate - Due to Broome’s unique location it is very hot during summer and has nice weather during the winter because it doesn’t get as cold as it would in the Southern Highlands because Broome is closer to the equator, tropical regions and is in the west of Australia and is not subject to cold winds blown from Antarctica. January to March is the wettest time of year in Broome. Tropical cyclones can occur from November to April but are most common in January and February. Between…

it’s thin atmosphere and cold temperatures. This is why it’s hard for scientists to “track” water. But, it has been found below the surface. “Scientists discovered a slab of ice as large as California and Texas combined in the region between the equator and north pole of the Red Planet” (Space) Since, Mars atmosphere is thin tends to be very chilly it’s more likely we’d find ice than water. Gales crater formed over 3 billion years ago when an asteroid hit Mars. Loads of rocks and soil were…
