Results:
*Observations:
a) (After doing tests 1, 2 and 3, explain how the structural/physical evidence
helped you narrow down which plant is most closely related to Botana curus.)
b) (After doing test 4, 5, 6, and 7, explain how the molecular (chemicals and
DNA) evidence helped you narrow down which plant is most closely related to
Botana curus.)
*Tables and Charts:
-see attached (attach your lab to this write up)
*Analysis Question Answers:
(Pages 5-7 (1-10). Do not re-write these questions. Answer them in COMPLETE
SENTENCES and type your answers here [number them 1-10 below]. Yes, you
most have the answers hand written in your lab AND typed in this write up.)
Conclusion: (Minimum 4 sentences: 1) Restate your hypothesis and tell whether it was
supported or not. 2) Explain how this experiment proved or disproved your hypothesis.
3) What things could have gone wrong that would effect your results? 4) What’s one
thing you could you do differently in this lab? 5) What did you learn from this
experiment? 6) What connections can you make to previous units and real world
scenarios? 7) What overall message about structural and molecular evidence did you
learn from this lab experiment?
