1. Using specific examples from the activity, explain the following terms:
a. Allele -one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
b. Homozygous-is a word that refers to a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes. It is referred to by two capital letters (XX) for a dominant trait, and two lowercase letters (xx) for a recessive trait.
c. Genotype the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
d. Dominant-have a commanding influence on; exercise control over.
e. Phenotype -the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
f. Recessive- relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
Heterozygous-
The genetics term heterozygous refers to a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive — they’re different
2. Explain the genotypes and phenotypes of skin color. Summarize the relationship between the number of active genes and color of skin.

Skin color is influenced by many genes, as well as a multifactorial inheritance, meaning environmental factors influence it.

1. Include a drawing of your child with as much detail as possible.

2. Include a short description of the traits your child has.

3. Answer the following questions:
a. How does the coin flip relate to the probability of inheriting genetic conditions?

well the coin flip relate to the probability of a 50,50 chance of the child like there are two parents there is two sides of  a coin.
b. How does this simulation accurately represent or not represent real life?

kind of now a days you can chose what your child can look like but you cannot chose all their traits. But it is also not like real lofe because if you were to have a biological child it would have at least one of more of your traits.
c. Did you identify any prejudices you might have about what traits you find “desirable”? Where do you think these prejudices come from?

beacuse some people believe that you should not change yourself and accept who you are.

 

 

 

English 10

I stand outside the water dripping down the brim of my big black coat
Dreaming of hot pepermint tea and a good book
One after another the jumpers jump like tigers prancing on their prey
The soft sand taking in their foot prints drinking it all up
But I stand wishing for this to end
My body is shaking in the the cold
Kicking myself for doing this deed
Then something caught my eye
My mother
My saviour coming to take me home

 

Career and Conversations response

For the careers and conversation, some of the people I talked to was Mike Whitaker, who is a quizmaster, which is cool. What fun job is that, he said he loves his job but when it comes to office work, it is not favorite part of the job. One thing is that his parents supported him through his choice to work as quizmaster. Another person who I talked and stood out to me was Rory Morgan, he is lawyer but not just an ordinary lawyer, and he is an injury lawyer. He has been a lawyer for almost 19 years. That is very long time; I like how he still finds joy going to work after so many years. One people who I talked to who gave me some wise words was Cathy Chapell, who is a doping control officer, ethics in sport learning facilitator and coach. Said to me when I get nervous do something before I play to relax me. Sadly, the people who were there had no careers that I would consider doing. Well for me I did not really care for it because the profession that were there was not really to my interest.  Nevertheless, many of friends enjoyed it and was valuable experience. One thing that I took away from this experience was that get uncomfortable talking to people who I have never met, but this forced me to look people in the eye.

Today in science class we did an experiment on if our boat would sink or not ,and how penny’s we could fit in the boat without it sinking. My hypothesis was that the boat was going to sink right away due to the weight of the pennies.  But I was wrong it actually held 20 pennies. So my hypothesis was wrong, well kind of because our boat held the lowest amount of pennies. Due to our design of our boat.

life is about experiences

 

first day of public school

I was in this humongous maze endeavoring to figure which way to go; my head was spinning like a merry go round. I smelt the desperation, the trepidation, the dubiousness of the students like mechanical robots following the orders of some unknown master that we will never meet, to deduce which way they wanted to go as if their life depended on it. Moreover, like them my feet carried me into this deep dark bland helpless abyss. Alone like a rose in a field of weeds, I trekked to my first class, the students turned like integrators their ocular perceivers like little beads, priced through my heart, feeling like they kenned my deepest secrets yare to apportion it with the of rest the world. I advanced to the farthest desk, its was grey as the empyrean outside and twice as hard. I sat as if the ground was on fire and cogitated how to get of this death aperture. Then the teacher , waltz in and took his place in the front of the classroom, like a general commanding his army. As I heedfully auricular discerned his monotone voice , all I aurally perceived was my pounding of my heart, as he asked the girl contiguous to with her dark hair and fawn like nasal perceiver to expound something about herself, typical. Oh, no it is my turn I verbalized in my head I stood up my legs shaking, racking my encephalon about what I should verbally express. like a robot I rerated to the class that I play sports, and I sat down as expeditious I had gotten up. Ring, ring went the bell telling us that the class was over, the sound of the ring ricocheted off the walls and into the my auditory perceivers. We bunched up like ant magnetized to sugar and sprinted out like a gun shooting out of a barrel, off to our next class. I can breath now, I have spare I maneuvered over to Lrc to eschew the contamination of so many people. I scurried in and sat very expeditiously like lightning , in the very back of this dispiriting classroom stack row upon rows like in a prison cell, or like an office, and this is just me endeavoring to make the best of an egregious situation at least I have privacy. I have visually perceived all the generals edifiers for today except one has he verbalized I could aurally perceive the chiming the bells in London “ aliment the birds ,tuppence a bag. As my teacher explained  what he wanted us to do. Whew I could feel the sweat running down my face like Niagara falls . I was no longer convoluted up in knots we did not have to introduce ourselves to the class thank God. The time flew by like a speeding train and without it knowing it was gym. My sacred my place, like that of a temple for a monk. It reminded me of the first time I stepped into BC Place only it had wooden bleachers, it was filled to the brim with students, with their own friends, and me with the spot light shining solely on me the outsider fresh meat. I perched quietly on top of the bench, lurking and optically canvassing the kafuffle. Determinately, I exclaimed has I optically discerned a familiar face it was like I just won the lotto (which I have never played before). It’s my basketball coach who is also my p.e as well. As he explicated his prospects I fought myself from jumping up and exclaiming my exhilaration has , the bell rang, I rushed out. Then suddenly with each step I stared to feel like there 50lbs suddenly annex to each of my legs I was getting more proximate to the dungeon math class that was the final class of the day,My most dread class ever. As I gradually made my way ambulated into the classroom was spacious with quotes and some pictures with two girls beaming in them. I came to halt as I read the white board with immensely colossal, TV on it. There was the most dread thing of them all, assigned seating. Everything went red I commenced to aurally perceive Sirens my world started   to spin I sat down it stop instantaneously has my button hit the seat I look contiguous to me there was this boy with brown hair and earring wearing boy sitting just starring I just starred additionally. The teacher was very bubbly as she explicated like the other teachers what we would be learning and so on and so on. Ring, ring went the school bell the sound filling my auditory ears like honey, saccharine has it trickles out of the jar while your tough wait with great anticipation . Conclusively taking me out my misery, I cerebrated. So as my day came to a close, I came a realization, maybe public isn’t so deplorable, and just maybe the classrooms are quite cheery, and just maybe I will even relish it here. Maybe just maybe I will like it here.
