Applying the Basic Priniciples of Science and Methods of Scientific Inquiry Observation: The plants that are on the left side of the flowerbed are growing better than the flowers on the right side of the flowerbed. There is a dog that constantly pees on the left side of the flowerbed. The left side of the flowerbed receives more sunlight than the right side. Problem: The plants on the right side of the flowerbed are not growing as well as the flowers on the left side of the flowerbed

genes to a virus and inject this genetic material into a host’s cell nucleus. The host could be bacteria, insects, food, or mammals. Since animals were first domesticated in 12,000 BC, they were being genetically modified (Goldbas, 2014). Biotechnology and genetic engineering is typically used to alter foods and medicines. Foods are chemically altered to give it more nutrients, a better appearance, and a longer shelf life. Further uses are drug production, medical treatments, and biological

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis for the Isolation of Onion DNA. Abstract Agarose Gel Electrophoresis method was applied on an onion sample to isolate onion DNA. The objective of this experiment was to be able to extract the DNA of an onion in the presence of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The A260A280 absorbance ratios of isolated DNA were around 1.0593, suggesting that the DNA was not pure and could not be used for further analysis. Moreover, the A260A280 values were lower than 1.8, suggesting
