Regeneration studies:
3mm fish tail was cut .
- Chlorohydra
Regeneration of hydra is been done.
Today’s learning objective was to demonstrate regeneration in chlorohydra by cutting it into different parts…
This set is for tomorrow’s observation…
Here’s a chlorohydra (shrinking and expanding)…we can see it moving away as it comes
in contact with the needle…

4)Hunt for Cardamine at Campus
We went in Cardamine hunt and found the cardamine plants in campus.
Cardamine. From APU campus
Seed germination studies:
We(participants )try to compare mustard germination and cardamine germination because they are from the same family . Brassicaceae
We(participants )saw the difference in the colour of cardamine seeds, green and yellow. Now we are separating them and trying to find out whether this different colour is playing any role in its germination.
We also want to see what happens when we try to germinate mustard seeds and cardamine seed in water.
- Phyllanthus from College campus
Time:6.18pm
- Isolation of bacteria .

Beaker A - 1 drop of milk in 80ml water.
Beaker B - 1 drop of milk in 80ml water.
Beaker C - 2 drops of milk in 80ml water.
Beaker D - 2 drops of milk in 80ml water.
Motility Assay performed with Moina.
- Fruitflies
Trapping
These are mutants we got from IISER pune:star_struck: but i only can understand about the 3rd mutant. So the name says that UAS GFP/TB which according to me is that fruitfly has green fluorescent protein in it!!
But i couldn’t get the meaning of other names. Can anyone help!

Detective work - figuring out the date of collection of flies
We had a home culture of flies without the label of date of collection. This culture is a multi species culture, we say this due to visible size difference between larvae, pupa and adult of individuals.
The number of individuals in the date of collection were 7. At present there are 20 individuals. The life cycle of a fly is 2 month. But the reproductive cycle is of 10days.We are guessing the minimum age of this culture will be around atleast 10 days. As we have more number of individuals than the beginning, indicating completion of atleast one reproductive cycle.
