Fern

This was a multi-week experiment that involved sowing the fern spores in nutrient agar. This allowed for observation and analysis of the life cycle of the C-Fern. With this the experiment could form genetic predictions based on the patterns observed. The cells of the fern are diploid, they contain two sets of chromosomes. The plant is in the sporophyte generation of it life cycle. At some point within the sporophyte plant a few of the cells will divide by meiosis and they will be haploid cells

Merriam-Webster"). It may be common to associate this adjective with a skydiver or daredevil, but what about an eighteenth century columnist named Fanny Fern? Fanny Fern, or as her birth certificate would state, Sarah Willis Parton, lived in the mid to late 1800s and wrote famously about controversial issues that are still prevalent in the twenty first century. Fern wrote with whimsy and liveliness, making issues like gender inequality in marriage and women’s reform seem funny and lighthearted, although looking

Ceratopteris Fern Growth and Analysis: Observing Germination and Effects of Ammonium Nitrate Treatment I: Abstract Observing the effects of ammonium nitrate has on the germination days of C-Fern gametophytes by constructing an experiment with two spore-sown petri dishes, one control and one treatment – a normal nutrient-rich agar petri dish and an ammonium nitrate-containing petri dish respectively. The two petri dishes were each inoculated with three drops of spore suspension

Where the Red Fern Grows by Fgosal Where the Red Fern Grows tells about a man named Billy Colman, whose mind drifted away back on his boyhood memories when he got his dogs.

Fanny Fern: The Not So Humorous History of Feminist Satire In the 21st century, many women, myself included, take for granted that we can wear whatever we desire and say what we want, in public, without the fear of being thrown in jail. However, that was not always the case. While the fight for the continued advance of women’s rights rages on, women of the 19th century lived a very different life than the one, us women, lead today. The feminist agenda was just emerging on the horizon. One particular

Through his determination, he works up money buy the pups, but he is faced with many struggles along the road. His determination, the will power and strong heart to make it through the struggles, made him the boy he is now. Over all, Billy Coleman and his dogs face many

Terrestrialization on Land or in Water By Kyle Dean Intro. The movement to land by plants has been a point of great interest for many researchers. The complexity of the situation is in the characterization of those traits that were most essential to the viability on land, and whether those traits developed prior to terrestrialization or post terrestrialization. This complexity stems from the long branch of phylogeny leading to terrestrialization having an incomplete fossil record due to environmental

named Molly went to the amazon rainforest to search for a rare species of fern plant called “Ptisana salicina”. The group of scientists decided that they would fly down to the amazon rainforest and start looking for this rare fern species. They flew to Iquitos, Peru to start searching for the mysterious plant. When they arrived to Iquitos, they were greeted by many Peruvian people. Many of the villagers knew about the fern they were talking about and was found deep in the rainforest. Tyrone asked

Mesocosm Lab Exploration Research Question: With the plants chosen, is it possible to create a sustainable terrestrial ecosystem within a sealed glass jar? Background Information The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with how an ecosystem works, and discover the most sustainable kind of ecosystem. Based on knowing how an ecosystem works, predictions have been made that state if a terrestrial mesocosm is sealed for four weeks with plants inside, it can continue to live and thrive sealed

radiation of songbirds, the integration of Australia and Asia flora and fauna, and finally the tremendous effects of the Pleistocene glacial periods on tropical rainforest vegetation. The Age of the Pteridophytes: This age refers to the Age of Ferns, dating back to about 435 million years ago when the first plants adjusted to life on land. About 500 million years ago, during the Ordovician period, fungi and algae were the
