Summary Introduction

To review:

The experiment was done by the researchers to see the growth of plants with wider girth in warmer areas in Siberian pines (Pinus sibirica) in Tarbagatay pass region in Mongolia. They estimated that the growth of trees is reverse in cooler areas. It was assumed that with the increasing temperature, trees are getting longer and girth is becoming wider. The graphical data was prepared by taking account of the ring widths of the plants and years of growth. The conclusion has to be inferred from the experiment on the basis of the graphical data.

Introduction:

The study of growth rings or annual growth rings that are present in the secondary root xylem is called herbchronology. These rings are mostly present in the perennial herbaceous plants. The annual growth rings are counted and it gives a rough idea about the age of the perennial plant.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
