Punnet Squares 12/15

https://ask.naij.com/family/how-many-genotypes-are-there-in-nigeria-i23618.html
Summary: This week in class we learned about punnet squares. Punnet squares are used to predict the probability of certain traits appearing in and offspring. They show the percentage and the fact that dominant traits are more likely that recessive traits. FUN FACT, Pea plants were the first plants to be used to test heredity by Mendel.

SP2: Developing and using models
We developed models by making four squares and putting the traits genotype into it. We used the models to predict the traits in pea plants and bunnies.

Chairty fair 12/11/16

Summary: This week in class we learned about heredity. Heredity is the traits you pass down and that your parents passed down into you and will pass it on as well. A phenotype is a trait that shows up usually a dominant trait the type of trait that masks a recessive trait. A genotype is a pair of alleles that makes a trait.

Backwards looking
Looking from the past I have done something similar to the charity fair in my life before. Last year I did the charity fair except we had to do a charity that was located in San Jose so I chose Pet Smart charities. Last year I made muffins instead of cupcakes.

Inwards looking
Inwards looking I feel good about how I did on the project. I feel that we worked our hardest and when things got tough we pushed trough it. Like when we were presenting out ignite I forgot my script but I remembered my line the best I could.

Outward Looking
Would give myself a B because of the presentation. I think we could work on the presentation a little bit more by practicing more and more. One other way I could improve on my presentation is not forgetting my note cards and having to copy of my teammates note cards

Forward Looking
 One thing I would like to improve on is presenting. I could improve on this more by practicing  and practicing more. This would help because I could keep the flow going and help my teammates trough the presentation
