Biology lab report

Instructions:

You will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following question. Your work must be 100% original.

• What would happen if a species of lizard were suddenly split into 2 groups by a hurricane resulting in the isolation of a small group of individuals on an island far from the mainland?

Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

• Purpose
• State the purpose of the lab.
• Introduction
• This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
• Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
• A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.
• Methods
• Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.
• Results/Outcome
• Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.
• Discussion/Analysis
• In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
• Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.

Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
