    changes in their life’s. There are trials of treating and controlling HD, Question 2 : Characterising Yeast Mutants. Wild-type haploid or diploid yeast strains ferment sugar to form ethanol, but the yeast are somewhat sensitive to ethanol and this sensitivity limits production of ethanol to ~6% weight by volume (w/v). The Chapelcross brewery mutated their haploid production strains of yeast and found three mutant strains that are tolerant to ethanol (up to ~15%). They plan on exploiting these

    time working in this lab not only gave me further learning experiences outside of the classroom but gave me a new attitude towards research as a field in general. My freshman year I worked in a biology lab studying how gene expression in yeast was affected by a variety of stressors. I quickly learned that bench research was not a good fit for me and essentially decided I would not pursue involvement in research at any time in my future. However, my experience working in my lab for my connecting experience

    Soil samples were collected from a construction site in North Norman and the duck pond at the University of Oklahoma. To demonstrate the microbial diversity of soil and determine the population density of bacteria, actinobacteria, and fungi, the samples were cultured in the laboratory. Serial dilutions of the samples were prepared and grown on different growth media for selective culturing of the three groups. Following incubation of the plates at 37C for two days then at 4C for five days, it was

    Population experts predict that, by the year 2100, there will be 10 billion humans on the Earth. And yet, the world has not made valid plans regarding how to develop enough food to feed that number of people. Second only to clean water availability, feeding their people could end up being the biggest problem facing many countries around the world. The five countries with the highest projected populations are India, China, Nigeria, the United States, and Tanzania. Those countries alone are expected

    production and ensure a healthy crop. In recent years it has been found that large amounts of artificial nitrogen in fertilizer has been used to increase the overall crop rates, to meet the demands of the increased growth rates within the human population ( Zhang, Wang, and Wu 2014). Based on these findings we were lead to question why or if increased levels of fertilizer impair aquatic ecosystems. Therefore we conducted research to find the correlation with increased levels of fertilizer and algae

    After reading the study, the most obvious future study in my mind is adjusting the treatment period of the mice. In the future, the mice should be treated for a longer time period with the MSCs. I would like to know specifically if there were negative long-term effects for using this over a longer period of time for this purpose. In class, we learned that injecting stem cells can be dangerous in that although they have the ability to become multiple types of cells in the body, it is hard to control

    Drosophilae family. Drosophila is a highly preferred organism for scientific research and observations because of its ability to reproduce and develop at accelerated rates, depending on the condition of its environment. It is expected that the population of flies will evolve because the environment in the vial will not meet the conditions needed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A study done on the Drosophila larvae showed that “crowding” of larvae, in conditions like the vial, can cause for a drop-in
