This week in biology Mr. Vogler threw alot at us! We had a unit 3 vocab test and a unit 3 test! I made good grades on both of those so I am very happy with myself. I guess that means Monday we are moving on to unit 4! This year has flown by....thankfully. My group for the press conference is coming over soon so we can get VERY prepared for all those questions!! We are also going to work on a giant project that is due at the end of the semester.

This week in biology we done some different things on pedigrees and karyotyping. I missed that day so I had a lot of catching up to do. We also got out early this week for Easter.  We didn't have very much of a spring break because of all the times we were out this winter for snow. But back to Biology.... It's getting more hard now because of the genetics and stuff. I am still maintaining a B average which I am satisfied with knowing this is a hard class and because it's honors biology!

This week in biology we learning a lot on karyotyping and pedigrees. Pedigrees are charts or graphs you can use to find out if a genetic trait is going to be passed down to you from your family members or parents. We have also learned some on punnett squares and dominant and recessive genes. We learned about multiple alleles and dihybred or monohybred crosses. We also had a mid-term this week and I was sooooo nervous about it. But I just took it and made an 89%!!!!!! That's satisfying to me.

This week in biology we presented our projects about different syndromes and diseases. My partner was Tonya. I really enjoyed having her as a partner; we work well together. Our project was on Fragile X Syndrome. I have a cousin with fragile x so it was great to get to know more about the syndrome. My cousins mom loaned me a book about the entire syndrome so I didn't have very much research to do at all. I really liked watching all the presentations about different things. I thought most people did a very good job on their projects.
