this week in science we learned a whole new unit about jeans and how we get them. So on Monday when we all where just new people to this it was really confusing but then he taught us a method called the punit square. the definition of it is The 'Punnett square' is a diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment and it was created by Reginald Crundall Punnett a brilliant man. so any way the punit square shows us what the percentage of us getting a certain kind of genes. so in the middle of the week wendsday we where getting ready to start this new lab about the way people have different thing like for instance if some people taste this cemical or not i did not but i am pretty sure my friend todd did. So that is what we did on friday and i think that that is really cool because not everyone acts the same way.

this week In science we did a lot of cool things starting off the week by learning the process of Moises. so after learning about that through out the weeks we had a quiz on the difference on Moises and mitosis and the similarities also. if you studded the quiz would not be too hard but i did not study to well so the quiz was a little difficult for me. so after the quiz the next day we have a sub and we had a lab to do it was to find out what pairs or pees bread different pees. And i learned that is a smooth pee and a smooth pee bread then the result will come out to be a smooth pee, Also if you bread a wrinkled pee with a wrinkled pee than the result will come it to be a wrinkled pee. But the final one that we had to do was to bread a smooth pee with a wrinkled pee and the result came out to be that sometimes it comes out to be smooth and other times it comes to be wrinkled, It is kinda the same process as having a baby because when a female and a male "bread" then the result sometimes comes out to be a boy and other times it comes out to be a girl. So then the last day of the week Friday we had to do another lab but this time it was not about pees it was showing us how they bread so we took notes and stuff on each slide. But then the "exciting" part was that we got to play a game that i was mot to good at but apparently Todd was so he helped me out. So ant the end of the week I realized that i learned a lot by doing the labs. So have a good vacation!!!!!

this week in science we learned a lo of things starting off the week by learning the differences between meiosis and mitosis. We learned that they pretty much have the same process but a little different steps happen. off of wikipedia i thought that this pretty much explained meiosis, meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half. In animals, meiosis always results in the formation of gametes, while in other organisms it can give rise to spores.
Meiosis is essential for
sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotesand mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus, into two identical sets in two daughter nuclei.[1] It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two daughter cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components but some simularities and differences i found on diffen.com and it said Mitosis is a type of cellular reproduction where a cell will produce an identical replica of itself with the same number and patterns of genes and chromosomes. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a special process in cellular division where cells are created containing gene patterns of different types and combinations with 50% of the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction of organisms to combine male and female, through the spermazoa and egg, to create a new, singular biological organism. Mitosis is used by single celled organisms to reproduce, or in the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and mibranes.
