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.
