Over the pass few week we have been doing a experiment/project of reproducing bugs, By mating with other classmates. So genetic variety had a big part in this because it gave us our geno types for our bug so we had to know what it looked like. If it was not for genetic variety then evry bug will be the sane it is like the same thing in us humans everybody if different and that is because we each have different genes that we get carried over from our parents so that would be the reason why you look like you family. a straight deffenition from wikipedia is A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism. The gene comes from DNA which we all have in us so without genetic variety we would have no geno types and evry body would look and do the same.

this week in science was not a good week for me because i was out the first three days so i am a little confused about what is going on my friend tryed to clear it up for me by teaching it to me but it was hard to do it with him. but on thursday and friday we started to do a lab by being flys and we have to draw all of our traits on our body.then we found out that if we write any one namme on our blog then we would have to take it off because it was shoeing up on google and he did not want that to happen. that is all that has happened to me this week.

This week in science was to me a very important week because in the begginig of the week we where still leaning about genetics but only this week we took it to a whole nother level. LIke we started to learn the proprer names for the geno types like homozygous would mean the same and heterozygous would mean different but also we stated to talk about if they where recesive or domanite which basicly means if it is domanit it can eighter be AA or Aa but if it is recesive it could be aa but it also depends on if it is heterozygous or homo. So later it the week we started to test our knowledge and do an experiment which intails us cutting out pieces of sperm and egg cells and putting them in a jar to test if the percents that we have are correct. Then on the last day friday we had a pop quiz which was not to bad if you knew what you where talking about. So i learned a lot this week it was a good week
