BIO 30 Q's and A's
"What do you know now that you didn't before? What part of genetics do you enjoy? Dislike?"
- I now know how to make punnett squares and identify what genes go where. I learned that when a dominant trait combined with a recessive trait, the dominant trait will develop, however the recessive is still carried on to offspring.
- The majority of genetics is enjoyable. Its definitely gnarly.

Tuff Kosokowsky-Heaver
Well seeing how this blog was made for my BIO 30 class, I'll talk about my Bio class!!
So today in the interesting happenings of Mr.S's class room... all student pared up and had BABIES!! Yes that's right I Stephanie had a child in a matter of an hour, conceived and ready for learning.! Its amazing what these biologists come up with! But seriously me and my partner Ty got our paper and coin and flipped it for our child's gender, heads won hence our little Baby boy got named "Tuff Kosokowsky-Heaver". The process developed further by Ty and I taking turns flipping a coin determining the features of our "kid". Baby Tuff has medium dark skin, dark brown curly hair, grey-blue eyes that are small almond shaped and close together. Tuff Has thick nicely shaped eyebrows (no Uni woot!) Baby has a round face with a prominent round chin. Tuff's nose is on the bigger side but we're lucky he doesn't have huge nostrils. Little Baby Tuff Heaver was born.
Not gunna Lie it was a great bio class, both me and Ty were praying the kid didn't have a uni-brow, it helped ha ha.

In Class the other day we viewed a movie called "Cloning" . The movie described the difference between therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning is the reviving of old dead cells. For example a rat in the video had lost the use of its hind legs, so scientists took out a healthy cell's DNA from the rats spine and placed into a stem cell that had also had its DNA removed. This stem cell is then placed back into the rat so the cell grows and therefore the rat regained the use of its hind legs. Reproductive Cloning is taking an egg from a species and sicking out that previous species DNA. The species egg is then replaced by another species DNA and placed in a surrogate mother. The egg then grows into a clone. Well That little blurb is done its time to give my opinion on cloning. To me cloning goes against nature, that is cloning by scientist and genetic manipulation through chemicals and what not. Yes, i can agree that saving lives is good but still, there is always consequences to new technology. I think people will abuse the technology and it will cause disaster. Yeah so there is my two cents and a penny for my thoughts.
