A student took 15 identical sized chips. The mass of each chip was recorded and the chips were placed in 4 salt solution (0.1m,0.2m,0.3m,0.4m) and pure water for 30 minutes. The chips were dried and the mass recorded. The mass change and % change in mass was calculated. Design a table to record the students raw and processed data.

Part a - which gene to compare? in this exercise, you will use the cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) gene to investigate relationships among salmon species. (this gene encodes a protein that functions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.) you will compare the coi gene sequences from your salmon test samples to the standard sequences for each salmon species. in order for the coi gene to be useful for distinguishing among the different salmon species, which three statements must be true?
