What Effect Do the Different Levels of Ecb Infestation of the Bt and Non-Bt Corn Have on the Yields?

The content of this section depends to a large extend on the nature of the experiment. Topics here should include a section labelled:

Many alterations have been applied to the area that corn is grown in. The main biome that corn is grown would be grasslands. Grasslands are an extremely important biome for producing food, it was shown that approximately 90% of the food produced today contains at least one of the fifteen species that are grown in grasslands. Unfortunately, for there to be enough space for corn to be grown and harvested, native grasses must be cleared, therefore having a devastating impact on the biome. Corn is known to be the most thirsty crop to be grown, taking up almost 7,000 to 8,000 gallons of water, draining countries, that don't receive as much rain, of their groundwater. Another impact on the environment of corn production would be the excessive use of fertilizers, this is due to the little nutrients returned back to the soil. As corn is mainly used for consumption, very little plant

For the Mole lab, my team claimed there was 1,992 beans in the large display jar. The estimate was close but still off by 59 beans. The actual amount of beans in the jar was 2,051. To figure out our estimate we used a beaker of beans to experiment with. We first found the tare weight of the beaker, which was 49.912, and the weight of the beaker with the beans, 95.301. Our next step was the weight ten beans of different sizes and find the average of the beans. We found the average weight of the beans to be .47g. After doing this we then subtracted the weight of beaker with the beans from the tare weight to find the weight of the beans. We found the weight of the beans to be 45.389g. After finding the weight of the beans we dived that by he average weight of our ten beans and got 97 beans in our beaker. When we counted our beans in our beaker, we found it to be 105. We then repeated this test but using the tare

0.1 gram of my product from the second trial was weighed in a tray and was then added to a fourth test tube containing 2.0 mL of Iron (III) chloride, which was measured using a 10 mL graduated cylinder, to test for

The purpose of this lab was to determine if lima beans would be able to grow nice and big in gatorade. The hypothesis stated, if we put the lima bean in the gatorade then it will grow really big, fast because gatorade contains of electrolytes that might affect the lima beans growth. The hypothesis turned out to be disapproved because the lima beans average length in the water/ control starting from day 1 was 17.5 mm, 25.4 mm, 42mm, and 44mm. The lima beans average length in the gatorade was 17mm, 22.6mm, and by day 3, the lima beans grew mold. In addition to that, The total mass of the lima bean in the control was greater than the bean in the variable. The lima bean in the control’s total mass was 5.25g, 9g, 11.9g, and 20.5g. The lima bean

That volume was recorded and the peas were removed onto a paper towel. For Respirometer 2, the graduated cylinder was refilled with 25 ml of water and 25 dry peas were added. Next, enough plastic beads were added to equal the volume of germinating peas for Respirometer 1. Then, the dry seeds and the bead were removed onto a paper towel. For Respirometer 3, the graduated cylinder was filled with 25 ml of water.

In this experiment, our goal was to determine what the formula of an unknown substance was (the reactant). By weighing the unknown

Under no ECB infestation, both the super harvest (non-BT Corn) and the BT 123 Corn appeared to be very healthy the average of their yield was approximately equal (163). Under low ECB infestation, the plants appeared to be moderately healthy. However, there was a moderate difference in yield as shown in table 1 and figure 1below. Under high ECB infestation, the plants appeared weak and had a difference in yield as shown in table 1 and figure 1 below.

Repeat the steps above and below to create another two sets of plants in order to have more samples to collect data

Plant four seeds in each pot. The seeds need to be planted 1 inch in depth and 2 inches apart. The seeds do not touch the fertilizer. This can damage the seeds. Place enough of the potting soil in the container to cover the seeds. Water each pot with a liter of water. Water the plant sparsely and only when the top two inches of the soil is dry. Divide up the pots where 5 pots get the correct fertilizer, 5 without the correct fertilizer, and one potted plant doesn't receive any fertilizer at all. Group A are the potted plants that receive the UltraGreen fertilizer. Group B are the seeded pots that contains the incorrect fertilizers. Each pot is labeled with the brand of fertilizer used. Group C is the potted plant that receives no fertilizer. The seeded plants were placed in full sunlight. Plant measurements will be conducted at 4:00 pm every day. The positive control group were the seeded pots with the UltraGreen fertilizer. The negative control group were the seeded pots with all the incorrect fertilizers in them. Set the pots in the same location outside. All plants were exposed to the same temperature. Water the plants equally and regularly as needed. Beginning May 1, count the number of flowers. Put data in week by week. For example, week 1, the plant has grown 1 millimeter but no

I have placed the results from our experiment in form of a table and will use the average results to form a graph. I have also prepared a graph to show the results throughout the exercise.

The protein DNA needed for the corn was extracted from bacillus thuringiensis, then the single gene that codes for the protein was copied and located out of all the DNA extracted from the cells. Once the single gene is cloned, the gene is designed and modified by genetic engineers to function a certain way inside the plant. The enzymes are used to cut the gene apart while a new gene enters to join the DNA bond. The genes are bonded back together creating a recombinant DNA. The gene is inserted into the plant cell using one of the transformation methods. In order for the transgene to function properly inside the plant it has to be in the cell’s nucleus and into one of the chromosomes. When the cell replicates and divides, all of the cell chromosomes including the new gene will be copied into the other plants creating a transgenic
