Punnett square for the original cross.
Method..safety concerns, identify controls and independant and dependant variables, procedures.

That explanation is that environmental factors such as light intensity have no effect on the phenotype nor genotype. We do not see how you could prove how the light intensity could effect the  phenotype but not the genotype of the cell. This is because the Allies are found in the chromosomes inside of the DNA  and we would need a microscope powerful enough to access this data.]]> 2017-04-20 13:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167244471 aarussellpace https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167246194 1. Wear a lab apron and safety glasses at all times.
2. No horseplay in the lab.
3. Report all spills or breaks to the instructor immediately.
4. Do not consume anything, including the tobacco seeds and distilled water.]]> 2017-04-20 13:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167246194 aaelisabethmedved https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167246628 Independent Variable:

Gather materials (4 petri dishes, water bottle with distilled water, 200 tobacco seeds, 5 filter papers.) 
2. Acquirer safety equipment   
3. Place one filter in every petri dish. 
4. Divide the 200 Tobacco seeds and place 50 in each petri on top of the filter 
5. Place the last filter on top of one the petri dishes so it will contain filtered light  
6. Add 10 millimeters of distilled water from the bottle to all 4 dishes. 
7. Place one dish in the window seal to get sunlight. 
8. Place two dishes under the light rack- one dish with just one filter, and the second dish with 2 filters. 
9. Place the last dish inside a cupboard to gather no light. 
10. Gather data on the amount of growth the seeds have made ]]> 2017-04-20 13:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167251829 aamichaelcorcione https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/167252097 50 seeds: natural light (Control)

All four dishes of seeds were placed in different locations throughout the room, with different types of light intensity. Although Most of them still shared about the same phenotype ratio of 3:1. The only exception in this case was the one with no light witch was a 4:3 ratio. however,  The less light the seeds were exposed to the more they strayed away from the ratio. There can be a relationship between light and the traits expressed but we really would need more data to tell. ]]> 2017-05-05 12:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/170160236 aaelisabethmedved https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/170160467 2017-05-05 12:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rford9/4v5f7fzgpige/wish/170160467
