     Q2 value given: .09   

P: 0.7

Q:0.3

P^2:0.49

Q^2:0.09

2PQ: 0.42

Population size: 1,000

1.   Using  Q^2, 0.09, you can find the Q value by taking the square root. The square root of 0.09 is 0.3

2.  Subtracting 1.0 by . 3, you will get your P value, which will total to 0.7

3.  Next, you will take the P value and square it- 0.7 squared is 0.49

4.  Now Multiply 2PQ, or 2*0.3*0.7, which will total to 0.42

5. Last check that the Q^2, P^2, and 2PQ total to equal 1.0

6.  Now that you have all your frequencies, you can find the number of individual for each genotype
     by multiplying the frequency value of the genotypes by the population (1,000)
                  A) P^2- 0.49*1000= 490 Homozyqous dominant individuals
                  B) Q^2- 0.09*1000= 90 Homozygous recessive individuals
                  C) 2PQ- 0.42*1000= 420 Heterozygous individuals

From these calculations, we can note that 910 individuals or 0.91% display the dominant phenotype, 420 individuals are carriers, and only 9% of individuals express the recessive phenotype.

Those two graphs represent the data collected from both periods one and two for the wormost lab. The results were consistently inconsistent. This is due to several factors. For one, students probably had trouble figuring out how to find the pulse and most likely would confuse the pulse with fluids going through the body. Two, the test subjects were live organisms and therefore moved quite often. Three, the worms heart rates were probably accelerated due to the shock of being put under a bright light. Unfortunately,  the results , as displayed on the graph, are similar for all three solutions. As a result, it is difficult to determine which is the depressant,  which is the stimulator,and which is regular whatever. However inferences can be made by the slight differences. If you look at the chart, you will notice that solution A had more populated count towards the bottom. Thus this is probably the depressant.  Solution B had results toward the middle, and is most likely the normal water. Solution C is more towards the top, and is most likely the stimulant. I am not very comfortable with these conclusions, because after a class discussion on Friday and some research,  I realize most were probably counting the fluid move through the body, rather than the heart beat. Nonetheless, I must make due with the data in front of me and use this lab as a learning experience.

Fruit

 

This picture is of me eating fruit. It satisfies the "fruit" on the scavenger hunt. Its a strawberry from Costco. It was really yummy and sweet. However it was not organic, so it probably contained pesticides. Strawberries are high in vitamin C (and delicious!). I also had bad acne that week because I was stressed (little fore warning)
