Personal Narrative – Atheist I didn't ask for the pastor to come over. I would have much rather been left alone to watch daytime TV. True, I was beginning to feel I little isolated, but some sissy-voiced holy man I hardly knew wasn't going to make me feel any better. But it was standard policy to notify the church when one of its fold has been hospitalized, for prayer requests and all that mush, and when the pastor heard that I was already home, he felt obligated to visit, as if seeing my swollen
edu/ppp/pubs/oh34.htm). Most plants prefer soil to be slightly acidic, ranging from 5.5-7.0. As like most legumes, pisum sativum var. macrocarpon, also known as snow peas, prefer a soil pH range of 6.0-7.0. If the pH of the soil is slightly below neutral around 6.0, then the pea plant #2 will grow faster than the others because pea plants grow better in soil that is slightly acidic. (Materials and methods) Five plastic Solo cups were arranged with even amounts of soil. Numbers 1-5 were written on
The growth of dwarf peas, Pisum sativum depends on the characteristics of the soil and the seeds. Sterile conditions will have a positive effect on P. sativum below and above ground physiology. The plants’ root length, root width and number of leaves will be positively affected by sterile conditions because the pathogens in soil which out compete the plants for its nutrients will be killed off. Soil and some seeds were sterilized and grown for twenty one days before root length, root width, and number
Comparing the Growth of Pea Plants Grown in the Light and in the Dark Aim: To compare the vertical growth and weight gain of pea plants grown in the light and in the dark. Background Knowledge: Photosynthesis forms the basis for this experiment. This is the process by which a plant makes food for itself from the raw materials around it. The energy needed for photosynthesis comes from sunlight, which is the variable for this experiment. The substance that absorbs sunlight is chlorophyll
What is genetics? This is a common, simple question in today’s world. Genetics is simply put as the study of genes, what they do, and how they work. The science of and our current understanding of genetics has come a long way since Gregor Mendel’s pea experiments. Who is Gregor Mendel? Gregor Mendel is often regarded as the forefather to the genetics that we know today. If it was not for Gregor Mendel’s early pioneering in a subject that was practically rejected during that time period, who knows
There have been many biologists throughout the years that studied genetics and there are more to come. Theodor Boveri is one of these biologists. Theodor was born on October 12th, 1862 in Bamberg, Germany (Inbar Maayan). He died at the age of 53 on October 15th, 1915 in Wurzburg, Germany (Inbar Maayan). The life expectancy during this time period was 40 to 50 years of age (Max Roser). Bonveri later got married to an American biologist named Marcella O’Grrady in 1897 (Editors). They had a daughter
Gregor Mendel. Some of you may know him as the “Father of Modern Genetics,” others might not know him at all but his discoveries have impacted us all in some way. His experiments may have been completed on the genetics of pea plants and these differ from actual human genetics but the principles that he developed are the same for all genetics. Gregor Mendel was a man of modern science and his principles have allowed us to understand genetics more thoroughly. With Mendel’s background we are able to
catalogue to grow. Poring over the pages, the siblings tried to decide what to plant. The catalogue passed from Jay J to Megan, from Megan to Jessie and back to Jay J again until the pages were worn and creased. Jay J often fell asleep looking at parsnip, pea or pepper seeds. The rectangular garden ran parallel to the fruit trees that defined boundary of the Fayreweather’s yard. The apple, plum and cherry trees bloomed in the spring and yielded fruit in the summer months. To the right of the garden, was
Flies Introduction From simple heredity experiments with garden peas, to cloning sheep, the field of genetics has come a long way. Now we are closer to mapping out the human genetic map due to advances in technology, and years and years of research. Perhaps the most influential and groundbreaking scientist, Gregor Mendel, he was responsible to provide a path to where genetics is now today with his experiments of garden peas. In lab, fruit flies were crossed to observe inheritance patterns
Vienna to get a teaching diploma. 1853: He was very nervous and the University did not consider him a clever student; Mendel had to return to the monastery as a failure. After two years, he started investigating the growth of plants. He researched pea
crossing peas, he realized that there was some kind of pattern to how the peas reproduced. This monk is now known as Gregor Mendel father of genetics. Mendel set a two years trail experiment to see if the peas reproduce with some pattern or he had just observed random change in peas. Mendel then came up with his hypothesis that traits are passed on with a 3:1 ratio after observing this in his trail experiment. Mendel set up an 8 years experiment where he would crossbreed all sorts of peas. After collecting
claim to fame was his pea plant experiment. Mendel looked at seven different characteristics of the pea plants. For example with seed colors when he bred a yellow pea and green pea together their offspring plant was always yellow. Though, in the next generation of plants, the green peas reemerged at a 1:3 ratio. To explain what he had discovered, Mendel put together the terms “recessive” and “dominant” in reference to specific traits. Such as, in the previous example the green peas were recessive and
scientists in the field of genetics. Mendel, an Austrian monk, began his work in the 1860’s. He used garden pea plants to study how traits were passed from one generation to another. The structure of the pea flower enabled Mendel to isolate an important variable, fertilization. In fertilization, the male plant gamete, located at the base of the pistil. The relatively closed structure of the pea flower petals makes it very easy for pollen from the anther to fertilize the pistil of the same flower. This
Introduction: Susumu Ohno is regularly credited with the origin of the term “Junk DNA” in 1972. He believed that the reason behind such a limited number of genes in an extremely large genome was because said genome could not sustain having large amounts of genes and that areas in between had an important role in doing nothing (ScientificAmerican, 2016). Large portions of this “junk DNA” comes about from transposition of DNA sections to different locations on the genome. These transpositions cause
Seinfeld Seinfeld ranks among the best situational comedies of all time. It has been compared to I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners, both of whom received praise for there pioneering works in comedy. But I believe that Seinfeld takes the term sitcom to another level. This is accomplished by exhibiting the many attributes of the show. Seinfeld contains many characteristics of a great situational comedy. The reason why Seinfeld is a unique show is because of its coherence. This show has a variety of
I was not born in Ireland, nor have I even been there, but my mother has kept our roots alive in her cooking. Be it Irish foods, or American Native dishes, our family history is kept alive by dinner time meals, unless of course mom wants a break. The little children might not realize yet just what they are eating means, or stands for, but when I look at the food I think of just where we came from. Of course the food being easy to make with little pricey ingredients is a boon too. My most favorites
Chinese soups are revered world over for their awesome taste and fantastic health benefits. There is nothing like a bowl hot egg drop soup on a chilly winter morning to keep you warm. It is really easy to make authentic Chinese egg drop soups with just a few simple ingredients. The basic ingredients of this soup are eggs, chicken broth and boiled water. One can add a variety of condiments like black pepper, ginger, chives etc. Here are the top 3 egg drop soups which you can easily prepare at home
There are thousands of different restaurants around the globe where people can either wait five minutes for their lunch in a drive-thru lane but pay for rude service and processed food, and some where formal attire is required and food and beverages are so expensive they break the bank. But what if there was a restaurant that offered both? A restaurant where service is top-of- the-line, food is warm and fresh, and the setting is elegant but inexpensive? A restaurant like this is not easy to find
air raid, when two half-full cauldrons of soup were left unguarded in a path. Despite their hunger, the prisoners were too frightened for their lives to even touch the cauldrons. One brave man dragged himself to the cauldrons intending to drink some of the forbidden soup. Before he could so much as take a small taste of the soup, he was shot, and he fell to the ground, dead. In Night, Elie recalled him as a 'Poor hero, committing suicide for a ration of soup'; (Weisel, 56). Later in the story, there
Introduction The Soup Nazi is a very famous episode of Seinfeld. This show is centered on a new soup stand that is owned by a gentleman who is not very conventional. He demands that his customers order their soup in a certain way and if you do not do it correctly he screams, “No soup for you!” Explanation of Deviance This violates the social prescriptive norm of “the customer is always right.” The role of the person giving the service versus the person receiving the service is switched.
