Unit 4 Reflection

This unit is about the sex and the Punnett square and the different types of inheritance. A Punnett square is a square that helps predict the probability of getting certain traits. I also learned about sexual vs asexual production. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and offspring are genetically Identical. Sexual reproduction requires only two parents and each parent contributes half of offspring's DNA through sperm or egg.  My strengths in this class were shown when watching videos because I am a visual learner. My weaknesses are having to analyze and write after class when it is not fresh in my mind. I had a hard time learning about genetics because there's a lot to remember.  I am good at putting the Punnett square together because it involves math and is straightforward and you don't have to remember a lot about genetics to be good at it. I learned the basics of asexual and sexual reproduction and how to generate genes. The infographic helped me to understand why genetics is important. Overall, I learned a lot from this unit. I know a bit about the Punnett square but I think there is much to learn. I am a kinesthetic learner and I need to do something physical to learn a concept. My preferred learning styles are visual (4) aural (3) read/write (4) kinesthetic (9).  I was surprised how much of a kinesthetic learner I am. I think that when I prepare for the next test, I will make sure to do interactive kinds of studying. Using the internet to show me and working with my hands through drawing and labeling, etc.

Coin Sex Lab Relate and Review

In the Coin Sex Lab, we predicted the probability that certain genes will appear  in human traits.  The alleles were different in each prediction of traits. autosome is not a sex related chromosome.We studied gene segregation. My expected results was 50:50 in the ratio to males to females. My results were not 50:50 they were 2:3. The probability of having a bipolar child is 50:50. The results were off. My results were high that the child would have bipolar which is 70% not 50. The probability is 25% to have a child that has colorblindness which is an  X-linked inheritance.I result were a little high with results of 7:3. My results with the dihybrid traits my results very high with traits brown hair, blue eyes which is homozygous or monohybrid. My results in brown eyes were heterozygous and homozygous but my results were small. My results were 7. The limit is only as good as using a perfect solution. Perfect results sometimes it happens and sometimes they don't. I received the combinations of certain traits from my mother and father and resulted in me. My sister has a recombination of traits from the same parents that resulted in her.
