Purpose: The purpose of this experiment  was to find out if genetically altered corn grew better than normal corn when exposed to an ECB infection.

Procedure: I went to a website called http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_01/BL_01.html and tested all the possible growth types between 4 different types of corn exposed to the infection and unexposed. I recorded all the different possibilities and averaged their growth at the end. With all that information I put it into one large bar graph on http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/

Claims: The BT456 grew the best because its average successful growth rate when exposed to the infection was higher than any type of corn. 

Evidence:

: 

Research: The European Corn Borer is a major issue in the corn industry.  They lay up to 600 eggs in small masses under leaves.  After about 140 days all corn has grown to its maximum size, the mass will be affected by this ECB.  The Bt corn actually somewhat protects corn with its insecticide and that is why growth is good even with a high amount of bugs.

Reflection: The BT corn grew much better than the normal corn. Given that the altered corn has downsides its benefits outway. After the multiple tests it was clear the BT corn was the best.
