Investigating science identity and motivation constructs in undergraduate chemistry through novel instrument development

Creator:

Wolfe, Teresa M.

Abstract:

The purposes of this study were to: 1) determine in what ways incorporating active engagement into a traditional lecture chemistry course contributed to students' science identity and their motivation to learn the science, and 2) determine how the development of a science identity could be measured through the use of...

Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:

Hipkins, Valerie D.

Abstract:

To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...
