Genetic Variety
Genetic Variety is when your reebop doesn't have all the same genes as the parents. This has to do with our reebops because not all our reebops looked exactly like it's parents. Your reebop may not always take all it's parents traits, but it sometimes does. It sometimes takes the same traits like eye color or body color but not all the time. For example, my P1 had wings but when it breed with another reebop, the baby ended up having no wings.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself more about selective breeding. I would be specific on why certain things can't breed together. Something you need to have in order to breed two things together is the same number of chromosomes. If you have a person, who has 46 chromosomes, and a pig who has 38 chromosomes, they wouldn't be able to breed together.
An experminent to test if this is true is, you could try to breed two diffrent things with different chromosome and see the outcome. Then breed two things with the same amount of chromosomes. An example for this experment could be, trying to breed two flowers.

If i could go back in time and tell myself the difference of mitosis and meiosis. One difference is, mitosis is diploid, which is 100% chromosomes and meiosis is haploid, which is 50% or 1/2 chromosomes. The diploid has twice as many chromosomes as the haploid. Thing that are similar are the phases. The phases for mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The phases for meiosis are prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.
An experiment I think would be helpful would be practicing looking at cells and finding out which one is a mitosis cell and which one is a meiosis.

What ideas did you learn this week?
This week in science class we started talking about meiosis. We researched their phase, what they look like, what happens in each phase, and the similarities/differences of meiosis and mitosis. By answering these questions, it allowed us to understand meiosis better. The phases are, Diploid (2n), Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, and Gamete (1n).We also learned what kind of cell we were making, and we found out it was an animal cell.
How did we learn these ideas?
We learned about meiosis from this website. We saw pictures and read about each phase. We drew the pictures in our notebooks and wrote what each phase does. This helped us understand the phases and meiosis.
Why is it important to know these ideas?
It is important to know about mitosis and meiosis because now we get it and when we take quiz and tests we will know what we are talking about. Also when we have class discussions, we can stay involved and be able to be apart of it. This way we can ask questions about things we don't understand that well.

What ideas did you learn this week?
This week in science class, we continued to learn about mitosis. We focused mostly on, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. We did a couple of worksheet to help us understand it more. We also talked about the cells lifee cycle. A lot of things happen, such as the DNA going in the Interphase, then turns into mitosis.
How did you learn these ideas?
We learned our ideas mostly from homework. The worksheets helped us understand this more about mitosis, because to answer the question we had to do some research. Another thing that helped us a little more were class discussions. This helped because we got to read some articles and watch a video on mitosis.
Why is it important to learn these ideas?
It is important to know what we are learning and really understand mitosis because in the future we will be reviewing this again. Also, understanding respiration is important because this is another thing that we are going to learn about again. so its good to be prepared.

What ideas did you learn this week?
This week in science class we started a new unit. Our new unit is reproduction. When we started we tried to answer questions to see what we knew. The question were, how do organism reproduce?, how do cells reproduce?, and how is sex different than reproduction? We talked about it in class as a group. Another thing we did this week was learn about mitosis. We learned about the four different parts; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Then we drew what they looked like in our notebooks. We even got to look at onion root cells and talk more about the four different parts of mitosis.
How did you learn these ideas?
We learned these ideas mostly from class discussions because it was a new unit and we didn't know to much about it. Also, homework was helpful because we were able to learn about mitosis that way. Then we talked about it in class.
Why is it important to learn these ideas?
Its important to know about reproduction because in the future we will be talking about it again and we will know more about it and be more helpful. Also if it comes up on a test or quiz we can explain it clearly on what it is.

What ideas did you learn this week?
This week in science class we learned some new names for DNA pats and where they are located. The names we learned were, base, codon, gene, DNA strand, and chromosome. We learned that three bases is a codon, a codon is in a gene, a gene is in a DNA strand, and a DNA strand twisted up is a chromosome. Another thing we talked about were prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. We practiced by writing examples. We also wrote down organelles and discussed if they were bacteria, plant, or animal cell.
How did we learn these ideas?
We learned most of our ideas from class work. When we learned about DNA and its parts we discussed it all together and the teachers explained. Also, in class we made a cart listing organelles. We wrote if they were prokaryotic or eukaryotic and if they were plant, animal, or bacteria cells. This helped us study for the test and understand it more.
Why is it important to know these ideas?
THis week was really important to start understanding things because we have a test coming up on Monday. If we didn't understand everything that we learned, or payed attention you would be very confused and have a lot of trouble when it comes to tests and quiz's.
