Introduction Genetic engineering is actually a very new branch or science, and is still in its developing stage. It is said to have first begun when an English scientist saw the cell walls of cork through a microscope in 1655. That spawned an interest in microbiology, which eventually formed the branch that I’m experimenting in. As we began peering into the innermost reaches of the cell, we began to notice certain patterns of reproduction. Before …showed first 75 words of 1064 total…

The colony in Dish 2 grew outwards from the edges, while Dish 1 did not, or grew much more slowly. The colony in Dish 2 was always much thicker than Dish 1. Conclusion The yeast in the agar with the added DNA chemicals grew faster. This proves that these nutrients allow cell division to occur more rapidly.
