In the coin sex lab, we flipped the coin to see how many times we recieved the traits out of ten. The coins' sides served as possible phenotypes. In the end, we found that our results correlate with what was expected. In the dihybrid cross, we expected to get the 9:3:3:1 pattern ( 9 brunettes with brown eyes: 3 brunettes with blue eyes: 3 blondes with brown eyes: 1 blonde with blue eyes). Our results were 10:3:2:1, with one less brunette with blue eyes and one more brunette with brown eyes. Overall, our results mirrored our expectations. Probability can only help with traits that have clear phenotypes. In addition, probabilty doesn't factor in the environment. This helps account for traits we see everyday and how siblings share some traits but not others. Probability is translated through the situation of three siblings having a widow's peak and one that doesn't.
This unit revolved around genetics and how offspring are affected by their parents. We learned how offspring are created either through asexual or sexual reproduction. We discovered how genes are passed along. My strengths were in understanding how genes are passed through generations. I found it harder to understand the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment and mitosis. I learned and gained a greater understanding of how humans are who we are. The infographic helped me tie all these concepts together and understand it earlier in then chapter than usual. Now, I understand how genetic disorders work. A new study habit I discovered was to learn the overview of the chapter in the beginning to make it easier to understand all of the topics. As a result, I would like to learn more about the Human Genome Project.

On the VARK questioniare, I got a 10 on visual, 7 on aural, 8 on read/write and ll on kinesthetic. The results were expected. To learn and study, I should try to use real life things to help me retain it. For example, look at diagrams/pictures, visit muesums, hands-on approaches, etc.
