HW320-5: Discuss the heterogeneous nature of food preferences and prohibitions in multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities.

Instructions: You will need this Final Project Template to complete your Final Project. Replace the italicized text in the template with your own content. You will create a personal Diet and Nutrition Education Guide as a resource in your diet and nutrition career. This Diet and Nutrition Education Guide will cover materials from Units 1–9 in this course. The guide is a way to capture important information about contemporary diet and nutrition course content, resources, and tools used in the study and practice of nutrition. It will also illustrate your personal assessments related to diet and physical activity. The guide can serve as a handy reference as you continue your nutrition studies, or to use in your professional career. Requirements: Each chapter/unit of this Diet and Nutrition Education guide should contain the following information:

1. A 3–4 sentence description of three (3) key learning points from each unit covered in the course.

2. A list and short description of three (3) websites identified within the Web Resources/Webliography for each unit covered in the course.

3. A list and short description of one (1) book/article/essay/software related to each unit’s topic covered in the course.

In The Plant Genus Triticum There Are Many Different Polyploid Species

In the plant genus Triticum there are many different polyploid species, as well as diploid species. Crosses were made between three different species, and hybrids were obtained. The meiotic pairing was observed in each hybrid, and this is recorded in the following table. (A bivalent is two homologous chromosomes paired at meiosis, and a univalent is an unpaired chromosome at meiosis.)

Species crossed to make hybrid
Pairing in hybrid

1. T. turdigum Ă— T. monococcum 7 bivalents + 7 univalents
2. T. aestivum Ă— T. monococcum 7 bivalents + 14 univalents
3. T. aestivum Ă— T. turdigum 14 bivalents + 7 univalents

Explain these results and, in doing so,
a) deduce the somatic chromosome number of each species used.
b) state which species are polyploid and whether they are autopolyploids or allopolyploids.
c) account for the chromosome pairing pattern in the three hybrids.In the plant genus Triticum there are many different polyploid species, as well as diploid species.

Lab 8 Identifying an Unknown Organism BIO250L”

Student Name: Olusola Rapphael Adeoshun Access Code (located on the underside of the lid of your lab kit): M6P8RHO

Data Sheet 1. Insert your dichotomous key here.

2. Write your microorganism number here:

Microorganism 3 Gram stain

3. Fill in the following table as you complete the interactive.

Test Observations

Gram Staining It appear to have some circular stains with a

darkish-purplish color

FTM The top is a little cloudy and has a light

yellowish color

Starch Test The cross (microbes) at the center is clearly

visible and the starch has a dark purple color

Lab 8 Identifying an Unknown Organism BIO250L” 4. What was the species of your assigned microorganism? Describe how you used your

dichotomous key to come to this conclusion. Include any relevant tests and how the

results helped you draw your conclusion.

The source of microorganism 3 is Bacillus Subtilis. I utilized my

dichotomous key and it tested positive for the starch test. The highly white

color emanating from the organism assisted in reaching this conclusion.

However, before reaching a final overall conclusion, another test must be

done hence, I examined the FTM tube and observed that the organism is an

OA organism based on the growths towards the oxygen at the top of the

tube. Lastly, due to the dark colored bacteria, the gram staining test was

positive. The other clue that led me to the conclusion about microbe 3 is

that these organisms appeared in pairs during the starch test, which is

similar to what I observed during the Gram stain. Furthermore, all

organisms are rod shaped and appear to form a chain during the gram

stain process.

Insert screenshots of your tests for your microorganism:
