Purpose: To examine how well the punnett square predicts random events studied during genetics experiments.
All Lab Writeups Must Be Your Own Work!
Writeups with duplicate tables and graphs will be filed in the blue recycling file at the front of the room!
Data Collection:
Data Analysis & Presentation:
a) Convert each group’s data to a form that can be compared.
c) Table of Final Data to Graph (Periods 2-4, Please do your graph on Excel or another computer graphing program!)
d) Graph of Final Data (average for Class results, not individual group results) Choose a type of graph that is useful for comparing % data!
Conclusion & Evaluation:
a) Restate the class hypothesis.
b) Report averaged results for class. You could compare these results with those from your group or from other classes.
c) How are the results similar, how are they different to the hypothesyzed predictions?
d) Explain results.
e) Analyze experiment. What are potential sources of error in you procedure?
f) Come up with specific procedures that could help us obtain more accurate information. Extra Hint: With experiments involving chance or random events, what can be done to increase the odds of matching the predicted outcome?
