Suspects:

Murder:
The murderer was suspect #4
I found this out because the dna matched, the way you figured that out is because the bars found at the crime matched suspect number 4's bars.

Gel Vs Real life:
The Gel lab and the field trip are basically the same, the procedure is the exact same and the final product is also equivalent, your DNA floats up to the top. The only difference between the 2 are that the online lab is more exact and follow able, but also the difference is that in one you have to do the procedure exactly correct in order to get the final result, and in the other you only have to press a bottom.

Fingerprints:
The Murderer was suspect #1:
The Procedure to find this was the exact same as it was in the Gel lab, but I saw the answer before we finsished because I saw the same type of bars. In the case of Tsars relatives, the Bones of adult 5 are the bones of Alexandria. In the case of doubting dad, Puppy 2 is the answer.

Dominant Lab

Pea Plants:
Hypothesis: In my opinion the Purple pea plant is dominant because it is a much stronger collr than the white pea plants.
The pea plants in the data the purple plants are dominant. This is proven when you cross the white and purple when both of them are pure, the final product is all purple, if this is still not enough to prove dominance if you are to cross a purple pea plant (that is a carrier) and a white pea plant the final product is 50% for each. My opinion was correct, and the basic Idea made sense. 

Snap Dragon plants: 
Hypothesis: I believe that pink is the dominant because it is represented much more than the other two colors. 
The Snap Dragon plants have an incomplete dominance. To prove this we have to look back at the date, if you cross a red and white, it mixes  and creates 100% pink, that is why in my opinion is pink is dominant, but because it is mixed it cannot be dominant nor co-dominant so it only leaves us with incomplete dominant. Also if you bread a pink snap dragon and a pink snap dragon, the final result was 50% pink 25% red and 25% white, this proves that no color wants to or does take dominance this again proves why the final result is incomplete dominance.

Seeds:
Hypothesis: I am almost sure that the seeds will show a co-dominant like feature, because of the simulare crossing results.
The results of the seeds provided co-dominance because once you cross a spotted seed and a spotted and dotted seed you get 50% of each which shoes that both of the two are fighting for dominance. A better way to think of it is in a game of monopoly co-dominant represents 2 players fighting for the top but are exactly simulare so they are both dominant, the incomplete dominance is as if all players are playing together as "friends," and dominance just shows a player taking control and "dominating the game." To prove that the final result is not incomplete dominance, once you cross a spotted seed with a dotted seed the final result would be mixed because of this you can sea that the dotted seed is at the "bottom part of the power."

Comparing Online & Hands on Project:
Both of the two projects are a great way to learn your stuff, a lot better than only reading a paper or having someone explain it to you. But in my opinion the marble project was a lot better than the online project because of the interaction with the partner but also the amount of fun and communication, but also the online project cannot be fully reliable because of glitches and problems.

Current Event Asteroid Attacks

The End of the world In 2012? Probably not but the chances for and asteroid to hit our planet are massive for next year. NASA discovered an asteroid and judging on its size and orbit scientists predict that the asteroid has already missed the earth by 7 times the distance of the moon. Even though this is true, astronauts predict that the next time it flies by on the 15 febuary in 2013, it will fly closer than 24,000 km to the Earth, this is less than most satellites. Scientists state that "This is a safe distance, but it is still close enough to make the asteroid visible in normal binoculars."
 
Reflecting:
In my opinion this is a huge discovery, because this kind of information can save lives, even though it might be too late to warn everybody but some actually might survive. The interesting thing is how lucky our race really is, that asteroid could have crashed on Earth! Even before this imagine if we were their instead of the dinosaures, we could have gone instinct. This kind of information really makes you think about how lucky you really are to be alive, and also makes me want to really live life to its fullest extent.

Gattaca


16. The limits should be placed on genetic engineering, people can manipulate this and use it for there own power. Genetic enineerging should not be allowed at all since it can corrupt this world and cause a lot of chaos, and powerful/rich people can easily start enginnering whoever they want. It should be alowed to get rid of diseases but only with the goverments approval since without these diseases the world might become over populate.

17. Cloning should be forbidden since, people with more and money can soon replace whoever they want, and illegally start controlling cities through human cloning. Cloning of animals in order to make food should be permitted but cloning people should be illegal . If someone cannot have a child they need to find a different solution since if this is under the wrong hands it can turn into chaos.

13. The predicting of a persons health in the future should be stopped because this information can cause a lot of problems in that persons life, knowing what disease you have beforehand isn't pleasant. Maybe doctors should be the only ones to view this and if there is a cure they should only then inform the person in order to help them otherwise, people might even kill themselves if there is no cure to there particular disease, because they would not be able to reach their desired goal.

Reflecting on the Movie:
Gattaca was interesting movie in my opinion, from the cover it would definitively not be a movie that I would watch but after having to watch it, I really enjoyed it, it was amusing, and informative, but at the same time inspiring because you have one man fighting against all odds and proving the agency wrong, I thought it was ironical. However, I have mixed feelings because the agency is doing it for your own health and the health of the rest of the people on the mission. If I were the director of the film I would definitively put a scene at the main actors death or last words, and his he would just tell everybody that he actually had a heart problem, because with that he would give a lot of people hope in that world and become an idol figure which I believe he deserved.

Onion Tip

Introduction: Find out the difference between Cytokinesis and Mitosis.  How do they go together in order to complete the cell division process?


Part 1: Can you find dividing cells in the onion root tip?
Yes, you can find the cells by finding were the most of the concentrated cells are, this is the most simple and effecting way to find find these cells. Dividing cells are in the most concentrated areas because most of them have been divided. Making a bigger area and creating a more concentrated area.

What differences can you see when you compare the nucleus of a dividing cell with that of a 

non-dividing cell?

The difference between the nucleus of a dividing cell and a non-dviding cell are: the dividing cell is going through the mitosis, the dividing cells go through be different steps of mitosis. But the nucleus of a dividing cell moves through the inside of your body and takes 24 hours for it divide.

Part 2:
Wild we were doing the activity we learned what each procces of mitosis is and also what its like like and what is each part of mitosis. We also learned how many cells one cells contained. We also learned how much each of the stages and phases lasts. We learned a lot of facts about each phase of mitosis.

Part 3 
Through the second activity we got to see how the onion tip actually looks like and we got to see what divding cells look like when there being divided. 

Lab

Punnett Squares
Guiding Question:
How can you predict the possible results of genetic crosses?
Hypothesis: Throught the punit squares, it is usually
Data Table 1:

TrialAllele From Bag 1 (Female Parent)Allele From Bag 2 (Male Parent)Offsprings Alleles
1BbBb
2BbBb
3BbBb

8BbBb
9BbBb
10BbBb


Data Table 2:

1BbBb
2BBBB
3BbBb
4BbBb
5BBBB
6bBbB
7BBBB
8BbBb
9bBbB
10BbBb


Analyzing Data:
Step 1:

Make a Punnett square for each of the crosses you modeled in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
2 Homozygous ParentsBB
bBbBb
bBbBb

Heterozygous & Homozygous ParentsBB
BBBBB
BBbBb

Heterozygous ParentsBb
BBBBb
bBbbb


Step 2:
According to your results in Part 1, how many diffrent kinds of offspring are possible when the homozygous parents(BB and bb) are crossed? Do the results you obtained using the marble model agree with the results shown by a Punnett square?

In each of our tables and tests we scored the exact same precent of getting the same offspring in alleles. In the first table there is 100% of getting a Bb offspring, but also in our punnent squares the final product was 100% me and my partner agree that this proves that in this case the punnet square method is correct.

Step 3:
According to your results in Part 2, what percentage of offspring are likely to be homozygous when a homozygous parent (BB) and a heterozygous parent (Bb) are crossed? What percentage of offspring are likely to be heterozygous? Does the model agree with the results shown by a Punnett square?

In the second graph that me and my partner recorded we ran into a bit of trouble, acourding to our table we got 4 BB out of 10 tries which means we had 40% chance of getting BB offspring the problem was that according to our punnet squares their should be 50% chance of getting BB offspring. The reason this happened is that the punnet squares are statistics but nature is chance, when we made the table we picked out of a bag therefor that is chance, but the punnet square has to be one answer, even though we only got 4/10 BB  it is very close to 50% which still proves that the punnet method is fairly reliable.

Step 4:
According to your results in Part 3, what diffrent kinds of offspring are possible when two heterozygous parents (BbxBb) are crossed? What percentage of each type of offspring are likely to be produced? Does the model agree with the results of a Punnett square?

In this last data table again we pulled out of a bag, which again gives us chance of anything happening, and as we guessed it, something did according to statistics or the punnet squares there should be a 50% chance of getting the Bb, 25% chance for getting an offspring BB, and a 25% chance of getting an offspring of bb, but because of life's chance we got 80% of the Bb offspring and 20% chance of getting the BB offspring, this is again because of life, but it does show that the punnet square was close and is reliable.

Step 5:
For Part 3, if you did 100 trails instead of 10 trails, would your results be closer to the results shown in a punnett square? Explain.

You can never know for sure if the results can be the same because of chance, but you can know for sure that trying it 100 is a lot more reliable and secure than it would be if you only took 10 tests, obviously because of this you would have more Data and statistics.

Step 6:
In a paragraph, explain how the marble model compares with a Punnett square. How are the two methods alike? How are they different?

Both methods are extremely simulare and both of them represents the probability for an offspring, and a inheritance trait from parents. Even though this is true, there are some major differences, for example the punnet squares the probability of a genotype, and represents the percentage of getting a certain trait, against the marble method which shows a real life example and provides chance.
