Hello my pets!!! before i turn you all into vampires, read about the pea experiment!!! bwahaha! OK i think that was the main thing we did these week...stuff about peas...sooooooo the first thing we did was the pea breeding (linklink!) which was when we chose two peas to breed and we came up with a hypothesis about it. mine was that the y's controlled the color and the r's controlled wether the pea was smooth or wrinkly. or maybe it was reversed.....well i think that was what I said...yeah Ok anyway...we bread (OK seriously how do you spell bred???!) 10 times and recorded the results and everything. the experiment i did is currently in my locker (oops!) so I'll do it right now and tell you what i get (cuz i just love you people that much ^_^ ) OK here we go: the letters outside the parenthesis are the buttins i chose from either pea btw,
Parents: (yY Rr ugly green, smooth) (yy rR bright green, smooth)
Babies: (yy Rr, bright green, smooth) (yy RR bright green, smooth) (Yy rr ugly green, wrinkly) ( Yy rR ugly green, smooth)
Parents: yy(yy Rr bright green, smooth) rr(Yy rr ugly green, wrinkly)
Babies: (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yY rr ugly green wrinkly) (yy rr bright green wrinkly)
Parents : yy(yy Rr bright green smooth) rr(yY rr ugly green wrinkly)
Babies: (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy rr bright green wrinkly) (yY rr ugly green wrinkly)
Parents: yy(yy Rr bright green smooth) Rr(yY Rr ugly green smooth)
Babies: (yy RR bright green smooth) (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy rR bright green smooth) (yY rr ugly green wrinkly)
Parents: yy(yy RR bright green smooth) rr (yY rr ugly green wrinkly)
Babies: (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yY Rr ugly green smooth)
Parents: Rr (yy Rr bright green smooth) yY(yY Rr ugly green smooth)
Babies: (yy RR bright green smooth) (yy rR bright green smooth) (Yy rR ugly green smooth) (Yy rr ugly green wrinkly)
Parents: yy(yy RR bright green smooth) rr(ugly green wrinkly)
Babies: (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yY Rr ugly green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth)
Parents: Rr (yy Rr bright green smooth) yY(yY Rr ugly green smooth)
Babies: (yy RR bright green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth) (Yy rR ugly green smooth) (Yy rr ugly green wrinkly)
Parents: RR(yy RR bright green smooth) Yy(Yy rr ugly green wrinkly)
Babies: (Yy rR ugly green smooth) (Yy rR ugly green smooth) (yy rR bright green smooth) (yy rR bright green smooth)
Parents: yy(yy rR bright green smooth) rR(yy rR bright green smooth)
Babies: (yy rr bright green wrinkly) (yy rR bright green smooth) (yy Rr bright green smooth) (yy RR bright green smooth)
and thats that! lol
OK the other pea thing we did was that slide show we took notes on (click the smileeeeeeeey!!!!) :-D , mine looked something like this:
Gregor Mendel
•Genetic breeder
•Swiss monk
•Daily work-peas
•theories are basis of inheritance theoreos 2day
•spotted inheritance in pea plants
•bred plants for certain features w/ each other
Inheritance
•all living organisms
•inheritance=inheriting characteristcs from parents
Characteristics in pea plants (I had have pix in my note book but i cant do that here)
• Flower color-pink or white
• stem length-tall or short
• pea color-yellow or green
• Pea shape-smooth or wrinkled
-2 allelles for each gene (characteristic ^)
----flower:
•pink+pink=pink
•white+white=white
•pink+white=pink
---pink=dominant (more powerful) allele
•pink flower w/ pink=white alleles=homozygote
•flower w/ pink=pink or white=white=heterozygote
Breeding
•each parent passes one allele
-random therefore --->
-•pink homozygote+pink homozygote can=pink or white flower
I hope that all makes sense to you guys!!! you might takenotes differently than me. if you have any questions just post a commment and ask!
OK so after that we played the game, is it just me or was that game like, addicting???!!! seriously! me and Sreesha played it like 20 times! it wasnt even that fun but it was serioiusly addictive! wth?! LOL ok so the point of the game is to choose the right parents to make a bunch of peas that look like the pic they give you of the pea plant they want. as i as playing it I didnt really get why the showed the pink and white dots when you clicked on a plant but the point of taht is taht they are showing you the alleles, so say tou have all pink plants and you are trying to produce a white one, you can see which ones are homozygotes and you can choose those and hope they pass the white allele. Got that? OK good.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thats pretty much all i have to say about peas! lol so your mission is to see that shopaholic movie cuz i saw it and it was BEAST! it really wasnt all superficial and just about shopping and stuff. it was REALLY good! sooooooo yeah...
OK also---i can now attach pictures of stuff! you know how im always complaining about how google images doesnt satisfy my scientific needs all that junk? weeeeeell NOW i have a digital camera (i like photography...) SOOOOOO i can just take pix of stuff, download them, and attach them to the post!!! WOOOO! soooo yeah im pretty much stating the obvious here but be proud!!! XD i hope you peeple are enjoying your vacation like crazy!!! oh and btw if anyone cares, every week along with a new post im gonna try to also have a new poll for you cuz i luv to see what you guys think of stuff! BTW how do NONE of you know what team jacob and team edward are???! My gosh!!! lol hahaha, sooo yeah, i missed some holidays SO here are my belated holiday greetings!!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! (aka make the single people feel even worse about their singleness day ;P ) may you find your soulmates on this special day!
HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY!!! appreciate your President people cuz hes not George bush anymore!
hughughug! see you all monday!!! bi bi!!!

my oh my! we're doing mieosis!!! :O
hello blog peepl!!! :) SO in science class this week we began our journey into the exciting world of meiosis, aka sexual reproduction, WOO HOO. well lets see we made our prediction of how it works and unfortunately i cant give u pic of that but it was basically this: XX hahaha cleverly using the x's and greater/less than
X symbols to show you since i cant do pic! so smarticle!
> <>
this beautiful thing here came from brians blog which is deffinently worth checking out so too get there click please!
and if that doesn't work just go to blogs i follow and find it :P but yeah it was homolugues pairs, chromosome pairs, chromatid pairs...i think :o um just tell me if thats wrong and ill fix it ^_^
ok we also did the an activity pretty similair to the one we did for mitosis, u know that cells alive thing? her it is: linklink!
yeah ok.
well the activity we did was to do all the stages of the exciting process so heres what me and maggie got:
1) Interphase: regular cell (yippee)
2) prophase/prometaphase: chromosomes cross over
3) metaphase: spindle fibers line the homologues pairs in the middle of the cell.
4) anaphase: centromere splits and the sister chromotids are pulled apart
5) telophase: the cell starts to split into 2
6) cytokenesis: 2 cells are produced
7) interphase 2: 2 cells (oh, but it doesnt and there!) ;D
8) prophase/prometaphase 2: Centrosome and spindle fibers move to opposite poles
9) metaphase 2: spindle fibers line up chromosome in center of cell
10) anaphase: chromoatids seperate and begin moving away from the center
11) telophase 2: cells start to split
12) cytokenesis 2: 4 cells are produced
and thats that.
now if you look on the other side of that sheet there's the venn diagram thing comparing meiosis and mitosis this is what i did (yes, i realize we did this first, but if you know anything about me you know that i'm not at all orderly or organized so were doing it second) ;)
Meiosis: • sexual reproduction • combining of *2 cells • haploid cells • sperm&egg
mitosis: • asexual reproduction • splitting of *one cell • diploid cells
both: • reproduction • creating new organism • centrioles
we also did a few little definition type things but y dont we just skip that 4 all our happinesses??? ;) well thats alli got in me 4 today LOL so here are some links to a few blogs a heck of alot better than mine :) :) :)
if you want to see the wonderful universe of Cake click the red thingy!!! •
if you'd want to see Dan H's wonderful colorful blog click the blue thing! •
if you missed the link b4 click the green dot for brian C's blog! •
to see the razzle dazzle blog of robin click the purple dot!!! •
well thats all my pets, i will see you all tomorrow!
bi bi!!!
X symbols to show you since i cant do pic! so smarticle!
