During this week (12-16 Oct) in biology class we started the class on Monday by making the work contract for the term project with our group. The contract consist of our agreements in order to finish this project well. The contract must be printed on Tuesday and signed by all the members. On Tuesday, we learn about the introduction to DNA and about inheritance. We learned about traits, heredity, genetics and hybrid. DNA is hereditary and it contains our traits and genetics as well. Hybrid is a controlled reproduction where two dominant traits between two species are combined to produce a better offspring, and later we could find out the genotype and phenotype from it. Gregor Mendel is the person who discovered how to predict the inheritance of traits. He discovers that there are two types of traits which is dominant and recessive. In an organism, they have a homozygous trait and heterozygous trait. The law of independence means that the genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other. The law of segregation is the law that applies in the hybrid of heterozygous and homozygous. There are nothing I’m confused about because I’ve learned this before the term started. On Friday, we are given short mini lesson about Mendel’s law on monohybrid and dihybrid. After that, we are given practice workshop on finding the phenotype and genotype on monohybrid and dihybrid crossing. After finishing the workshop, we write the term’s vocabularies on weebly and make the weekly reflection.
