BIOL 108: Basic Bacteriology Lab

Explore the intricate components of the endomembrane system within a cell. Identify which structures belong to this system and which do not, with a specific focus on the unique role of the chloroplast.

Understand the essence of controlled experiments and the significance of control groups. Unpack the common misconceptions associated with experimental design. Grasp the key factors that make an experiment truly controlled.

Learn about mouse genetics and the implications of dominant and recessive genes on coat color. We'll use a Punnett square to predict offspring coat patterns by crossing two heterozygous mice. Learn how phenotype ratios like 9 Agouti: 4 white: 3 black help us understand genetic outcomes.

Discover the significance of protobionts in the evolution of life, acting as a bridge from non-living to living entities. Understand their boundary formations akin to cell membranes and their rudimentary replication methods. Gain insights into the pivotal role they played in life's origin story.

Uncover why flamingos, genetically predisposed to white feathers, sport a pink hue. Dismissing influences like weather and DNA mutations, the mystery unravels with diet: the intake of carotenoids from their food which overrides their genetic blueprint
