What do we know? I already know that I have half of my mom's genes and half of my dad's genes. I also know that there are two types of genes, dominant and recessive. | What do we want to know? I want to know, "How did I get red hair, why am I Irish, why do I have blue eyes, why do I like sports...etc." | How will I learn the information? To learn my information I will try and get in touch with a expert about genetics. I will look online, and look at family tree websites. I will also ask my family about what genes they have. |
What did we learn? I learned a lot of stuff in this unit, like I learned that I had a 50% chance of having red hair, but automatically I would have the red hair gene in me. I also leaned that you get your genes by what genes your parents have, and it all matters how you inherit them. | What action did we take? To find my answer to my topic I researched a ton about, I watched video's of experts talking about genetics. I also set up a meeting with Mr. Solarz to teach me how to draw a Punnet Square. | What questions do we still have? Some qeustions that I still have are, can two people who aren't twins have the same exact same genes. |
