Period 7 Blog

Today in class we did, we signed into the website. Also we are covering over what we did yesterday. If you were out yesterday then go to yesterdays blog. Basically to sum it up yesterdays dusscion we were talking about how the child (male) goes through puberty and then they develope sperm cells in meiosis. Now today we are talking about what happens to a girl, today, and how it is different from a male. Now on the website we went to Genetics and clicked on Pea Soup! Then dont even read that thing that pops up. Just there is a button that says Click for the experiment. OR something like that. CLick on that, and just write down that is on the screen. Copie that down without doing the actual simulation. Youjust write what you see. Here is what my group saw. We saw two parent cells ans 4 daughter cells. The colors of it could be green or yellow. There is upper case letters and Y's and R's. Same textures as the parents. Half of the kids look like one parent and the other looks like the other parent. There are little circles all by the children. Those are called radio buttons and you can click them. You chose two peas and breed them together. Then they become the parents and then they have 4 children. So now we are playing this game. So the point is to breed the children correctly 5 times in a row. On the same website. Loriks group prediction is that 1/2 is going to look like one of the parents and the other 1/2 will look like the other parent. Here is what we will have to do. -hypothesis -prediction -test -check outcome matches -then revise hypothesis. -then try to figure out what the letters mean If your peas look the same no matter what x out and start again Thats what we did in class today! ALSO WE HAVE A TEST A WEEK FROM TODAY ON MEIOSIS KK
