| Research Question | How can we impact the haploid generation of C ferns? |
|---|---|
| Experimental Design | The plan for our experiment is to have four petri dishes, one control, one with packed with gametophytes-creating limited space, one with the gametophyte spread out, and the last one will be isolated, the only one in the dish. We are trying to see if we can induce asexual reproduction with the isolated hermaphrodite and see if we can track how far the Antheridiogen will go ,which is the purpose of the packed dish and the dispersed gametophytes. |

| About this Project | This is a star project because the girls were very excited about their research and were dedicated to gathering quality data. They chose a project that was kind of hard (isolating hermaphrodites to observe if they would self-fertilize) and they successfully isolated them and saw results that supported their hypothesis! In order to find out more information, they were very good about communicating with their mentor and researching information online. It was so fun to watch these girls get excited and ask great questions about their research! |
