Reproduction

Heredity

I am a tiny geometric structure that reproduces inside of a living cell. I range in size from 20 to 250 nanometers (one billionth of a meter.) My genes are made from DNA or RNA. I can have a double or a single strand of DNA. I contain between 10 and 200 genes. I can lay dormant but when I get inside of a host I take over and reproduce, often very quickly. I am similar to mechanized bits of information, like robots. Im a small, infectious agent that consists of a core genetic material surrounded by a shell of protein. I infect by commandeering the host cells synthetic capabilities to reproduce more of my kind. I can be killed, but only by one very powerful agent. I come alive when I infect the host cell. Inside of a host cell I can move, reproduce, and produce energy but outside of a host cell I cannot do these things. My offspring have similar DNA to me.

Analyze the following experiment: Experiment

Jamal wanted to see if he could improve the gas mileage in his 1974 Chevy Impala (his car). He decided the best way to test this was to try different types of fuels. He completed 5 different trials, which are outlined in the following table: Type of Fuel Gasoline Water Kool-Aid Vinegar Cat Urine a. b. c. Miles per Gallon 28 mpg 1 mpg 11 mpg 17 mpg 3 mpg What is the Independent Variable in Jamals experiment? __________________ What is the Dependent Variable in Jamals experiment? ____________________ What is the Control in Jamals experiment? ______________________________

6.

Identify whether the following statements are a hypothesis, observation, or a conclusion: a. b. Hypothesis or Observations or Conclusion If Jamal uses gasoline, then his gas mileage will be the highest. Hypothesis or Observations or Conclusion Jamals car is brown and has four wheels.

7.

Interpreting a graph: Use you graph reading skills and the graph below to answer the following questions.

a. What is the independent variable in the graph? _____________________ b. What is the dependent variable in the graph? ______________________ c. What units are being used on the y-axis? ________________________ 8. Terrance was trying to look at an insect using a stereo microscope. While peering through the eyepiece, he noticed that the insect was larger but lacked clarity (blurry). Is Terrance having an issue with resolution or magnification? __________________ When making a wet-mount slide, it necessary to place the cover slip over the specimen at a 45 degree angle. Why should you always place a cover slip on top of a specimen at a 45 degree angel? ________________________________________________________________________
