Principles of Biology

Principles of Biology : Laboratory

Lab 10 : Meiosis

Theme: Look at the theme I gave you in Lab 7 and write a similar, short, concise theme for this lab.

Materials and Methods: "Biology Lab Manual" by The College Board, 2001. <cite correct page numbers>

Note: Class data for the Sordaria calculation is available at www.siskiyious.edu/class/bio1/lab10/sordaria.xls.

Results: Present class data here. And, refer to the lab book for your individual numbers and calculations.

Analysis and Conclusion Section :

You may say "See lab book page for the analysis and conclusions." Calculate the tan map distance with your own numbers as directed in #1, page 44. But also, present the class Sordaria calculation for the tan mutant gene distance to the centromere in your narrative. The calculations are the "analysis" not the data. The data would just be the microsope counts. How does your personal map distance compare to that of the class data? Did you overestimate the class data or underestimate it? What causes this to happen?

Please complete all questions in the lab book for pages 35-44 (the Meiosis section of Lab 3).
