BIOL 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, Melanin, Melanism
Document Summary
Concealment, intraspecific communication, and regulation of physiological processes are the three main adaptive functions for coloration in mammals. Evolution canyon is a good place to look at adaptive coloration because of its districts ecosystem that forces organism to adapt specific traits based on the environment. The sordaria genetics lab is involved with evolution canyons, as well as understanding how the unique environments of the slopes impact the crossing over of spores. 7. in 2-3 sentences, summarize the results of this research. 2. what is the hypothesis and/or research goal of the study? where do you find this in the paper? hint: it is more than 1 section. 3. what are the major methods used? what tense is used? (limit your answer to 5 sentences or fewer. ) The major results that the research showed was that mice from evolution canyon adapted their levels of melanin in order to obtain a cryptic coloration based on their unique environments.
