Write a lab report for this lesson’s lab. Be sure that your report:  includes all major elements of a lab report.
 meets your teacher’s content and format expectations.
 is clearly organized and formatted.
 demonstrates strong scientific reasoning and writing.
While writing, you can revisit previous parts of the lesson by returning to the course map. Be sure to refer to the
lab’s student guide, which you can find on the first page of the lab experiment activity. You may also find it
helpful to refer to the remaining pages of this guide, which provide general guidelines for writing lab reports.
You can upload your completed report with the upload tool in formats such as OpenOffice. org, Microsoft Word,
or PDF. Alternatively, your teacher may ask you to turn in a paper copy of your report or to use a web-based
writing tool.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle

a. population growth is decreasing

-2

+4

-10

-3

-8

-3

so the population decreased by 24 because 3+3+8+10+2=26-2=24.
