Hey its Jon witht he scribe for today. As soon as we all sat down, we got our AOD!!! "Animal of the Day". Today it ended up being a Dumbo Octopus. Very little is known about this organism accapt for that it live in extreme depths, and may grow up to be about 20 cm long!! It is part of the domain Eukarya, kingdom Animalia, and phylom Mollusca. After that we quickly got working on our 2 labs, UP 13-14, andd UP 19-27. We got to observe many different Invertebrates which was a blast! We even got to touch some cool creatures. We alos get tomorrow to work on our labs which should be really fun...next scribe is.........MARK :)

S C R I B E

After we turned in our homework and talked a little bit about the recent quiz we took about pedigrees and punnett squares, we discussed how people can prove what disorder someone has just by looking at them. You can do that by looking at their karyotype. A karyotype is the standard arrangement of all the chromosomes.
We then discussed how there can be 3 copies of a gene in the same chromosome. Those chromosomes are called trisomy 13, 18, and 21. The trisomy usually codes for Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Pataynu syndrome. We also begin learning about Genetic Engineering which is changing DNA for practical purposes. For example, transgenic organisms have many applications in agriculture (make fruit grow faster, bigger, quicker, etc.). We finished off the day by watching a short video.

OHHH NOOO!

My muddiest point is about Pedigrees. Like how do you know when to put HH or Hh for a normal parent????WAITING FOR COMMENTS!

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is usually
found in chromosome 7. There are many symptoms to this disease including coughing or wheezing, great illnesses, weight loss, and salty-tasting
skin. Cystic fibrosis attacks the lungs, which causes them to clog up.
Most people who have the disease only live till thirty years old. People with
the disease have about 5 times more salt in their sweat. There is currently no
cure for this disease, but treatments are being made. Some treatments are gene
therapy, inhaled antibiotics, and chest therapy. About 2,500 babies are born
with cystic fibrosis each year in the U.S. Affected people live near thirty
years old.

Question of the Day

HEY!ITS JON, AND MY MUDDIEST POINT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF T CELLS THERE ARE AND ALL THEIR FUNCTIONS. HELP NEEDED!!!!

MUDDIEST POINT!?!? NOT AGAIN!

Hey it's jon, and my muddiest point is that it is really hard for me to memorize all the different organelles of all the different cells there are!! NEED HELP PLEASE!

CELLS

Hey it's Jonathan and today in class we started taking about what cells are, what is their job in life, and what are some different types of cells. The definition of cell are the basic units of life. Which means without cells an organism can't live. Some different types of cells that exist are Prokaryote, Eukaryote, Plant, and Animal cells. A Prokaryotes are types of cells that do not enclose DNA in nuclei. Instead of keeping their information in the nuclei, they keep it in the DNA chromosomes. Eukaryote is a type of cell that encloses its DNA in the nuclei. During the last 15 min of class we shared are facts that we came up with about the cells. And sorry bout not having a picture up because I was having trouble getting on the post.


Next Scribe is Mark

NEED HELP FAST!!!

Hey its jon, and my muddiest point is that I need some help about understanding what I just read about in the textbook. The only way I memorize what I've read about is if I take cornal notes. But I'm not going to take all those cornal notes after every time I read a section in the book. So i need some tips about other ways of memorizing what I read in an easier way.

Unit 1

Hey its JonathanB. I thought Unit 1 was really cool because we got to experiment on the jumping beans and see how they reacted to the different climates they were in. Who ever knew that there would a living organism inside that bean causing it to jump?! I had some trouble understanding this unit, but i hope the next unit will be as fun as the first one. The Tetrahymena lab was pretty fun because we saw all those vacuoles form inside the cells!

First Post

Hey its Jonathan and i had trouble getting on the blog, but ive figured it out. And something interesting about me is that I BMX and i try to get out to the skate park a few times a week after school to practice some tricks and to learn new ones. I have always wanted to get out to California and enter some competitions. I'm looking forward to all the sports that you can get involved at this school, and im not excited about all the homework we get.
