=Cotton = It is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant. It is one of the oldest fibers under human cultivation, with traces of cotton over 7,000 years old recovered from archaeological sites. It is also one of the most used natural fibers in existence today. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including Americas, Africa, India, and Pakistan. The fiber most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft breathable textile. It was most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is aid in seed-dispersal. Cotton is used to make fireproof appeals suitable for professional use. Cotton is used for every type pf clothing, from coats to jackets to foundation garments.

=Dialysis and Osmosis Lab=

Pictures of the Dialysis Tubing before
After Potato in Salt water Before Potato in Plain Water Before Potato in Salt Water and in Plain Water After

** Data Table ** || Gained 2g || Lost .5g || The osmosis occurred in the Dialysis tubing because the iodine pass through the tubing. The diffusion occurred in the potato's because of the natural movement of the water in the potatoes. The potato in the salt water lost .5g of water. The potato in the plain water had gained 2g of water.

=DNA Replication Project=

This is the DNA helix

The DNA helix is unwound and looks like this.

The Hydrogen Bonds begin to split to gain a new 1 or 2 strand.

Strand 1 gets a new strand 2. They are identical and forms another DNA helix.

Telomerers- it is the repeative DNA at the end of a eukaryotic chromosome Okazaki Fragment- a short fragment of DNA on the lagging strand during DNA replication DNA ligase- stiches the okazki fragments together Telomerase- enzyme that adds telomere Cancer- it's cells has the ability to divide indefintely Trasnplanted cells- the cell gets removed and transformed for the product the person cannot make Cloning- where a cell is coppied Aging-the cells die faster
