Conclusion: My hypothesis was supported by the experiment because my partner and I followed the procedures up to step 16, when we streak the plates, then we didn't get the results of transformation because we destroyed the plates. Therefore, we had to get Marcus's and Haison's lab results. This was our biggest source of error. Changes that could be made if the experiment needs to be repeated is to not make the same mistake my partner and I made, as well as moving for quickly with the procedures because we ran out of time when it came to incubating the cells in bath water for 30 minutes.
