Q1 – Week 4 – 19-20

Week of 9/23 – 9/27

9/23 – Monday   period  –  7,8 Lab                                
                               
1. Evolution basics —-> Angiosperms and pollinators = Coevolution
2. pollinate Fast Plants/marble notes on reproductive parts of a flower/seeds
*We kept the Test Cross Plants separate so that we did not contaminate our dihybrid cross.  Everyone pollinated all test groups EXCEPT the true breeders that we will use for the test cross.
 
5 people pollinated the test cross plants with the bee sticks AFTER they were done with the Dihybrid Cross pollination. These 5 people threw out their bee sticks after the test cross pollination.
 
3. Count Leaves, size of leaves, buds per flower to gather other health data to test your hypothesis.
  Most did a random sample from each group.
 
4. Add to lab!

Today’s Notes:
 
Evolution Basics:

Also Individuals do not evolve!!  Populations due by shifting the “normal distribution” toward individuals that have the greatest reproductive fitness = THEY LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REPRODUCE MORE and pass on their alleles to the next generation.  This increased reproductive fitness is due to the SELECTIVE PRESSURE that the CHANGE provides!

 
IF there is not already an allele present THAT WILL HELP in the NEW ENVIRONMENTAL Conditions (Change) THERE WILL BE No EVOLUTION. This means that if an allele is not already present in low frequency BEFORE the change THERE WILL BE NO SELECTIVE PRESSURE for any allele and the population will suffer and eventually become extinct.
 
NOTICE that SEXUAL REPRODUCTION increases Genetic Diversity so much more than ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION does and thus produces more various alleles.  This variety of alleles creates the ABILITY for species to have a better chance to Evolve or survive NEW Changes in the environment.  How many current advanced species are alive today that undergo asexual reproduction?  Not many why?  Could we as humans evolved into the extremely complicated life form we are now if we did not sexual reproduce?
Asexual Reproducers ONLY get get variety when a mutation occurs while sexual reproduction Amplifies the diversity (from a mutation) by segregating chromosomes randomly, crossover, and random fertilization. 
 
ALL Evolution however starts with a mutation or a Random change of code in our DNA that creates new proteins that can stop current chemical reactions (recessive) OR START NEW REACTIONS (that make new alleles!!!)

This is an individual assignment so they will no linking of lab partners to your doc.  I understand that we all have the same data but the we will write-up these lab individually.
 
3. Blood type chromosome activity complete.
 
4. PLEASE MAKE YOUR SECOND SUBMISSION to last night’s form by SUNDAY morning so I can send out the final score and key for your review.
 
 
LAB WRITE- UP REQUIREMENTS:
 
Weekend HW:  : LAB 1   
 
HERE IS A LINK to an example of a lab writeup from a student from last years class:
 
I know its been a while but we need to get back on this Lab 2 horse and continue the ride..
Please add a Title page, Background, Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Data sections to your Lab.
In the lab Report Rubric LINK I outline how to do all of the above. 
I want you now to complete your Data section by presenting your Calculated Data in an organized professional Data Table and Corresponding Graphs that are visual representations of your calculated data.
DATA TABLE:
OK So I want you to create a Nifty Data Table that represents your calculated data from YOUR RAW data.
I do not need to se every piece of data that you are using in your table.  You should be presenting the overall calculated values FROM your raw data (from marbles).  For instance If you have a tested a group and a control you should at least have an average, standard deviation, SEM and SEM +2/- 2 values for each group.  
THESE ARE THE VALUES YOU ARE GOING TO USE FOR YOUR GRAPH!  You are required to use EXCEL to make this data Table.  I am posting how to create a basic table from Excel below.  
*After you have completed this table in Excel, Please cut and paste this Table into the shared Google doc for the lab.  There are any ways to accomplish this and please try to find which way works best for you and your group.
 
GRAPHS:
Please create an appropriate graph from data table that illustrates the significance or insignificance of your data calculated the best in Excel  Based on your study a line graph may be better than a bar graph, especially if you are measuring rate (how fast).  These graph must have error bars unless you are doing a Chi- squared statistic.
 
Graphs must be labeled in each axis, have a title, and clearly illustrate outcomes, significant or not.  The graph should be a clear representation of your outcomes.  Presentation is key!!!!
 
Annotation in the Google Doc:
You need to make an annotation under each image that you bring into your google doc. For instance, you might write Table 1 under the Data Table or give it a formal name. This is so that when you write the Conclusion you can refer to the table appropriately.  “In table 1, or in figure 1 we see that ….”
This is due at 4:30 am Monday!!!
 
Tutorial video on creating Graphs (from your data table) in Excel:
I am making a line graph in this tutorial but you can just select a bar graph instead in the initial stage of the video and all of the other things I demonstrate would be the same in the video below.
 
End of week 4!

Extra Thoughts and Maybe totally Unnecessary.
 
OK there are 2 ways to figure out the problem to figure out the probability of having 6 girls out of 10 children.
 
There is the long hand method that I did for 3 boys out of 5 kids but I stopped doing it for 6 out of 10 because I would need 1024 possibilities and I do not think I could keep going!
 
For 3 girls out of 5 children example:
Notice the total combination will be (1/2)5 = out of 32 combination. ALL girls = 1/32 and All boys = 1/32 but 3 out of 5 was 10 of 32 or 10/32 = .31 or 31 % probability when I physically counted all of the possibilities by doing it long hand.
 
Now I found a better mathematical way from looking at my old statistic book:
 
Not easy to explain but here it goes:  
We know that the denominator is based on our multiplication rule (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) = 1/25 = 1/32
The numerator is a little challenging to explain but lets go!
WE have 3 Girls that could be placed in each of the 5 positions or age order of the children. Lets envision the 5 positions below :
     1. _____ 2:_____ 3: ______ 4: _____ 5: _____
WE can place the 1st Girl in any of the 5 positions so there is 5 possibilities.      ( 5 x           )
IF we try to place the Second Girl in the order there are 4 less possibilities
because there is already one position taken by the 1st Girl                                                 ( 5 x 4 x     )
1. _____ 2:_1st Girl_ 3: ______ 4: _____ 5: _____
The Third Girl would then have only three positions available because of 
the placement of the 1st Girl and the 2nd Girl so we complete the formula:                  ( 5 x 4 x 3  )
1. _____ 2:_1st Girl3: ______ 4: 2nd Girl  5: _____
So we get (5 x 4 x 3 ) = 60 BUT thus value gives me all the combinations of the THREE Girls INCLUDING combinations that we would count as the same.  For instance these three combination
of Girls are in the same position but are treated differently because we are labeling them 1st Girl, 2nd Girl, and 3rd Girl. 
 
1. _____ 2:_1st Girl3: ______ 4: 2nd Girl  5: 3rd Girl
1. _____ 2:_2nd Girl  3: ______ 4: 1st Girl   5: 3rd Girl
1. _____ 2:_3rd Girl  3: ______ 4: 1st Girl    5: 2nd Girl
 
Because we do not care about OUR labeling of the Girls as they are all girls we need to lower our 60 combination value by the following:
There are 3 Girls and they fit in each in each position (3) equally so the 1st Girl has 3 positions to fill and the second Girl would have 2 positions left and thus the 3rd would have only 1 to give us:
                                                                                            3 x 2 x 1 = 6  
 
We take our 60 and divide by 6 = 60 /6 = 10 possibilities OUT of the 32 = 10 /32 or 5/16 = .315 probability 
So for 3 out of 5 Girls:             5 x 4 x 3    =   60    =      10  /   1/2 =  10  /  32   =  .315
                                                      3 x 2 x 1         6
 
S0 for 6 girls out of 10 the math looks this way:
 
                             10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 =   151200  =   210  /  1/210 = 210 / 1024 = .205
                               6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1           720
 
 
HERE IS MY WORK:  I DID THE LONGHAND WORK FOR 3 OUT OF 5 GIRLS FIRST.
 
End of Week 4!
