Look up Gregor Mendel and his pea plant experiments Why does P1 look all alike and F1 looks very different?

  During his pea plant experients, Gregor Mendel observed his plants very carefully. The offspring of the peas are somewhat releated to each because of the trait passing on. F1 on the other hand will choose the dominant allen between their parent,and they will always become differnt from others.

Blog #10 Post a recipe for something made with fermentation
Explain how fermentation helps make the food.


A recipe i chose is this.-http://www.learningherbs.com/fermented_foods.html

Fermentation is basically is a waiting process that can save food or make food better. For example, yogurt pickled goods and alcohol is made using fermentation. Back in the old days, pirate crews would store pickled goods in case they run out of food one day and that plan worked.

Blog 11 In the movie Gattaca parents were allowed to pick the traits of their babies, should we be able to do this? Why or why not?

   Picking traits like in the movie is kind of like making a frankenstein. I think it is wrong because it's not really being human. Being human is repopulating without using all these tools that adjust stuff.
There are both opinions that both seem good, but i have to go with not using traits. I think it's better if you just let it be natural because there might be a flaw just like in the movie Eugene had a 2nd place swimming medal instead of being the best.

Blog number 9

Blog 9 How far should the government go in isolating people with an infectios diseases? Should the army be involved?

  Like the movie, they dropped the bomb at the people who were infected in Africa. They hoped to destroy the virus after killing people. What i think is, if the virus is incurable, then you can either quarantine them or put them to sleep. It's better than spreading it out to millions of people and start a world pandemic.

blog number 8

Blog #8 Describe in as much detail as you can the procedures and protections for enetering a hot zone biocontainment facility.

When you enter a hot zone biocontainment facility, its a given that you must wear a spacesuit. It is always safe to not wear any clothes so the disease or germs won't get on your clothing. If any bacteria or disease gets on you or infects you, you are in trouble. It could lead to another world epidemic. Luckily there may be an antidote. So it is always safe to clean yourself before entering so no germ can ever stick on you.
