Comparing Marigold, Squash, Radish, And Wisconsin Fast Plant

In this experiment we are testing the effect of fertilizer on the speed of plant growth. We prepared a 4 quad cell, 1 control group and 3 experimental groups. So, we had one with no fertilizer, one with three seeds of fertilizer, one with six seeds of fertilizer, and lastly, one with nine seeds of fertilizer. The plants that we grew were called Wisconsin Fast Plants, members of the crucifer family. These plants are small and easy to grow, but for optimal growth they require continuous fertilizer, water, fluorescent light, and temperature between 18 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day. Fertilizers are substances that are put into soils to increase the growth of the plant. There are two different types of fertilizers, synthetic

In “Marigolds” by Eugenia W. Collier, Lizabeth and the children view Miss Lottie as an ugly and unpleasant woman prior to the ultimate destruction of the marigolds, and Lizabeth’s understanding of Miss Lottie changes when she realizes the struggle and hard times, Miss Lottie has live through. In order to pass their time during summer, Lizabeth and the children hide in the bushes near Miss Lottie’s house to annoy her and have some fun, and when Miss Lottie spots them and tells them to go away, Lizabeth comes out of the bushes and chants (later joined by children), “Old witch, fell in a ditch, picked up a penny and thought she was rich!” (35). Calling Miss

The ravg for the experimental group was 0.1613 and the ravg for the control group was 0.2047. The results indicated that our predictions were correct; duckweed that received less light exhibited a lower rate of

I had woken up from sleeping and all of the sudden I saw a girl ripping out my flowers! I went outside and just watched her pull them out because I didn’t know what to say. After that girl ripped them out, she finally realized that she did something wrong and regretted it. She said “M-miss Lottie!” and I was in utter shock that the girl was going to apologize to me. It shocked me because those kids throw stones at my garden all the time, and I have to replant my marigolds every time those children throw a stones at them. After that little girl finished off my marigolds, I discussed with the girl that the reason why I had planted marigolds is because they only come in two different colors - yellow and orange...the colors of the sun! They

This experiment, which was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism's traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in cruciferous plants. This plant aids scientist in the exploration of environmental effects on population due to the speed to which is matures and reproduces. Artificial selection was stimulated by the selection against plants with few hairs(trichomes). Trichomes create a wider variation which means it is polygenic. The plants that had only a few trichomes were

The “Brassica rapa” is a fast plant known as the field mustard. This plant is well known for its rapid growing rate, which makes it an easy breeding cycle and easy to pollinate. In giving so this makes “Brassica rapa” a great participant for testing Gregor Mendel’s theories of inheritance. The “Brassica rapa” acts like a test subject in testing cross-pollination giving the understanding to the dominant allele of colored stems. There are different colors that are visible on the stem that are above the soil; the colors vary from green to purple. P1 seed was ordered, germinated and cross-pollinated until germination of the next off spring of plants were also done. It was

Therefore, I was correct in my hypothesis that dark will have an effect on the germination of radish seeds. Also, I was very close in predicting that the seeds grown in the light will germinate twice as much as the seeds grown in the dark; the control seeds grew a little less than double the size of the experimental seeds. Ultimately, my experiment proved that light is a very important factor in the growth of any plant. However, I’ve learned that seeds grown in the dark will germinate, though slowly, as

Stage six happens on days nine through thirteen. This is the stage when Fast Plants will begin to develop the buds for flowers on its tip, or shoot meristem. Stage seven is on days fourteen through seventeen, and in this time the Wisconsin Fast Plants’ flowers will bloom, and pollination may occur.

Can bad issues from your own family cause you to destroy the goodness of someone else’s life? Lizabeth grew up in a place where the community wasn’t the prettiest thing to look at nor, was it a good place to grow up in. In the short story Marigolds by Eugenia Collier in the genre of adulthood , you will see the relationship between Miss Lottie and Lizabeth and the difficulties of growing up culturally deprived .

My mom planted her marigolds and helped me out with my problems with a person. She would be my “therapist,” my helper, the shoulder to cry on. When I would be sad, mad, upset, depressed, etc. she would be there for me and would comfort me when I needed her the most. When she “planted marigolds,” it symbolized care and hope that I will no longer be all those feelings I had before. My mom helped me out a lot and I am glad she did because I am joyful of her being there for me. Before my mom made me feel great again, I would not go anywhere with my friends nor go over to my relatives house or anything.

Two miles underground in the Vale Creighton mine lies an advance lab far from the common world. In this lab many experiments are done from sub-atomic and astro-particle physics to the reactions of fruit flies to this underground environment. But one of the experiments is how organisms react to the absence of radiation underground and how it effects life. SnoLab the company in charge of this facility calls this experiment REPAIR (Researching the Effects of the Presence and Absence of Ionizing Radiation).

rossiaemeridionalis and M. arvalis) that were tested for levels of genetic modification in Chernobyl3. Specifically, they were tested for the rate of base-pair substitution rates for the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to figure out the genetic change3. It was found that the voles have an excess of 10-4 nucleotides per site per generation. Figure 4 shows the gene trees of the different nucleotide substitutions and the different locations. The control location is 32km from reactor 4 compared to the experimental location that is 1 km away. The experimental location shows a much more complicated gene tree compared to one from the control location. Figure 5 shows the numerical data of the number of substitutions dependent on the location, species, and type of substitution (Codon position and Amino-acid effects)3. Chernobyl shows much more statistically significant results than the control location. However, later on it will become apparent that even with these genetic mutations, the populations do not seem to be affected. In fact, the populations are growing in the

Are you someone who just loves broccoli, but only eats the flower? Many people are like this and often throw away the broccoli stems or pieces of the stalk. This is OK if you are putting your leftover food in a compost pile, but there are other options to consider.

There was a severe effect of my minus calcium treatment—the lack of calcium was detrimental to my plants’ health and caused them all to die. With my visual observations of my sunflower seedlings completely drying up and dying, the negative growth rate per day of my plants (along with the rest of the minus calcium treatments in the class having a significantly lower average growth rate when compared to the control plants in the class), and the huge difference in average water use between the minus calcium treatment plants in the class when compared to the control plants in class, it is clear that the effect was severe. I believe that I observed the growth effects that I did because low levels of calcium cause poor root development
