corn- it's pretty chill

Today we tried to figure out the genotypes of multicolored corn by counting each individual kernel -_- it was annoying but the reason why we did this was because each kernel is an offspring of the original corn so by figuring out the ratios of the different colors, we can figure out what the original parental genotypes were. PRETTY AWESOME.

Holy crap this is hard.- Dihybrid crosses

Today we learned about dihybrid crosses. So what exactly they are is what happens to the offspring when tehre are two different sets of genes working with each parent. So what if we were dealing with white spots AS WELL AS tall genes. It was pretty enlightening though, this day. I've learned a ton and i'm gonna keep it with me for THE REST OF MY LIFE. Thanks!

Alien creation

So today we crossbred different aliens based on their genotypes of whether they were homozygous recessive or heterozygous dominant or whatever. Through this assignment, I now have a firm grasp on the concepts of how certain traits are passed onto offspring. THANK YOU MR. QUICK.

Test :*(

Test. It was fine. Got out of class after I finished. REALLY NOTHING TO SEE HERE. LOL.

REVIEW DAY

Today was a review day, nothing special, move on. We reviewed protein synthesis and the like. Pretty chill class

STUDENT LECTURE YAY

So today, we reviewed protein synthesis in front of the WHOLE ENTIRE CLASS. We went through all the processes such as transcription, translation and the like. We went into GREAT DETAIL with the entire explanations and have improved our lives from then on. Then we went to observe our E. coli slides, so for some strange reason, some of the previous glowing samples have been glowing a lot less radiantly. Mr. Quick said it was because the Arabinose operon system is beginning to end because since now there is a lot less Arabinose within the colony of bacteria, there is not much need to keep the resistor inactive and it is slowly becoming more active, cutting off the glowing that is released from the system. 

PGLO RESULTS HOLY CRAPWTFBBQ

So today, we came back to class and figured out our results. So apparently the only sample that seemed to glow as well as grow was the sample with the arabinose and the PGLO. The samples without PGLO did not glow and the samples without arabinose did not glow or grow either. This is VERY VERY INTERESTING because what does arabinose do to bacteria colonies that affects their ability to glow? MORE TO BE INTRODUCED.
