corn lab

Questions does genetically modified corn grow better than non genetically modified corn when its infected with bugs ?


Procedure

I went to this site and grew some corn that was infested with bugs and grew some corn with few bugs and grew corn with no bugs

 Step 1: You want to pick the corn you first want to experiment with
 Step 2: You then decide if you want plain corn to grow or the corn to grow while being infested with a small amount of bugs or a large amount of bugs
 Step 3: Push the grow button and write and record what is happening is the corn growing fast with or without the infestation of bugs or is it the same ?
 Step4: Then record the data and put it into a graph data and see which corn grew the fastest and which did not and how was the corn affected by the bugs if affected at all ?





This is the data i have collected while during the corn lab each level of ECB infestation is High some of the data increases than slightly decreases but increases within time the corn was logically not affected by the bugs to have a positive effect on the corn anyways when it was infected with large amounts there was little corn and didn't weigh much but when put with little bugs or no bugs the corn will have a positive growth and be like regular corn

Evidence 
Research: In my research the good corn was the corn that had few bugs and the super corn had lots of bugs the bt123 had lots of bugs and the bt456 had few bugs and you can see that the corn grew just fine with small bugs but with a larger amount its growth decreased


Claim In the graph above, it shows that BT 456 is the one that weighed the most out good corn super corn and BT123

Reflection: My hypothesis for this lab was correct i knew that having few bugs on the corn while it grows would not effect the growth of the corn
