In Lab 8‚ we had analyzed remains found at a wooded area near Jonesburg and tried to determine if the bones belonged to a 28-year-old woman who had been reported missing from a city within the vicinity. Upon analysis‚ it was determined that they did belong to a female. However‚ it was not possible to determine if the bones did belong to the missing women. Lab 12 presented the opportunity to genetically analyze the remains found. DNA profiling‚ also referred to as typing and fingerprinting‚ uses genetic

specifically as it relates to the study of criminology. I will examine the ways in which natural selection has shaped the processes which motivate human behavior‚ especially in terms of how competing for limited resources and ensuring that one’s genetic code is passed on are linked to aggressive behavior. Two crimes of which I have personal knowledge will be evaluated‚ with emphasis placed on the ways in which evolutionary theory may account for the aspects of criminal behavior in each. Finally

Fruit Fly Genetics Lab Kelly Hernandez 5/31/14 Drosophila melanogaster is a small‚ common fly found near unripe and rotted fruit. It has been in use for over a century to study genetics. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the best biologist studying Drosophila early in the 1900’s. Morgan was the first to discover sex-linkage and genetic recombination‚ which placed the small fly in the forefront of genetic research. Scientists have used Drosophila for many reasons. For one they are very easy to maintain‚

seal populations? 2.Using Table 2 and 3‚ explain how the birth rates of the seals and the death rates of the whales affected the carrying capacity for both whales and seals. 3.For the second trial in Part 1‚ we doubled the whale population and reduced the seal population by half. However‚ the carrying capacity for the seals only decreased slightly from the first trial. What do you think caused this outcome? 4.If another source of prey were available to the whales‚ what changes in population size

relative fitness of two phenotypes of the Drosophila melanogaster and how fitness can affect evolution in the population. The phenotypes were placed in two different environments‚ one in which contained a predator and another with no predator. Results of the experiment would show how the fitness of each phenotype is affected by providing a mechanism‚ and if evolution was occurring in the population. Two hypotheses were inferred‚ one for each environment. For the cage uninfluenced by a predator‚ we hypothesized

Yeast Population Dynamics Lab How Environmental Factors Affect a Yeast Population’s Ability to Reproduce OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to emphasize the influence that limiting factors have on a population. This lab tests yeast‚ a common component in baking‚ against two environmental factors (changes in temperature or concentration) to see what effect these have on the population dynamics of the yeast over a period of 72 hours. There are two sections of tests included in this

FRUIT FLY PURPOSE: The purpose of this lab is to determine what genetics are dominant and which one is recession in the fruit fly and to see what genetics are past down from generation to generation.

Population Ecology: Clover Distribution and Density Method This lab consisted of the use of various materials. We used four orange flags in order to mark a 30x15m sampling area in which we collected our data from. To measure out the area‚ we used a thirty meter measuring tape and to determine the density (plants per meter squared) of clovers in the lawn‚ we calculated the total area of the plot (30x15meters squared). For this lab‚ a frisbee was used with the area of .053 meters squared as the

A portion of the population is captured‚ marked‚ and released.
