of the most popularly known fungal species, such as the gilled mushrooms and bracket fungi. They inhabit a wide range of ecological niches, performing vital ecosystem roles, particularly in global carbon cycling and as symbiotic partners with a wide range of other organisms, such as plants, animals, algae and other fungi.

The Jumping Bean Beetles! The Jumping bean beetles experiment was done to study the oviposition in bean beetles, and whether it is based on the heritage of the bean beetle. The study consisted of two different types of beans and several mung raised bean beetles. Bio Lab 113 Dr. T. Hendrickson Nathan Jay Introduction The purpose of The Jumping Bean Beetle study is to test the hypothesis that Bean beetles’ oviposition is determined by the bean beetles’ birth place. Bean beetles, Callosobruchus
Genetic engineering in healthcare Genetic engineering is a form of applied biology, often used to change a person's genome by using biotechnology. By adding DNA, removing genes or by recombining them, a genetically modified organism is created which can be used in research, agriculture, industrial biotechnology, medicine and in many other fields of labour. During the past few years, genetic engineering and genetic modification have led to an improvement in life for people, economically as well as

Introduction The bean beetle also known as the Callosobruchus maculatus, is an agricultural pest insect from Africa and Asia. That can be found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions. The lifecycle of a bean beetles is quite short an adult been beetle lays their eggs on the external surface of a bean. The larva hatches from the egg burrows from the egg through the seed coat and into the bean endosperm without moving outside the protection of the egg. When it comes to mating both virgin and
Polar bears have a thick layer of fat called blubber which is about 11 cm thick. This also helps the bears to survive in the freezing conditions. Not only on land, but the thick layer of fur coat and blubber helps them as they spend a great amount of time swimming in the freezing waters of the Arctic. Blubber is a thick layer of fat that helps prevent sea mammals from getting too cold. Blubber in depth, is an extra digested food stored in the form of adipose tissue, which contains molecules called
This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not Callosobruchus maculatus, or bean beetles, had a bean color preference for oviposition choice. Oviposition is the process of a female insect laying her eyes on plant parts and other materials, which can be influenced by many factors. The bean beetle eggs are opaque and clear, which allowed us to test the hypothesis that C. maculatus prefer the darker red Adzuki beans over the white Black-eyed peas for oviposition choice. Two different colored
The giant Marlin caught in Hawaii wasn’t just a fish story that was too good to be true. The 1,368-pound blue marlin caught in Hawaii has been seen online with the fish looking as big as a small car.
