plants, and are considered a process of evolution as they have evolved in order to adapt to the change in the environment. In this investigation we will be observing the results of both types of plants under harsh conditions. It is preferable that the Polyploidy plant will survive harsher conditions as they have actually developed due to the change in their biosphere therefore making it more likely that they will survive unfavourable conditions. In this experiment we will be taking a look at which
Nicole Zajac Dr. Gupta Biology Lab March 15, 2017 Strawberry DNA Isolation Lab Abstract: Fragaria × ananassa is a commonly cultivated octoploid, meaning it contains eight replications of each type of chromosome. To acquire the DNA within the strawberries’ chromosomes, we conducted an experiment where the cell membrane of the strawberry was broken apart. First, we squished the strawberries and next we added a DNA extraction buffer. The use of the DNA extraction buffer was so the cell could lyse, resulting
