Another week in science

This week in class we worked on our projects. In the beginning of the week we were on the computers typing our Wiki's, blogs and essays for the Reebop project. The things that we had to do for the project are write an essay on how Meiosis and Mitosis play a role in the creation of a new Reebop, create a new blog about how genetic variety is involved in the creation as well. I said different genetics affect the outcoming results of the bug. I also said how you can see some of the traits being passed down in different generations of the Reebop. Another thing that we did for the project is recording how to make a punnett square on Smart Notebook. We also had to make gametes for a sperm and egg cell with genotypes. After finishing that, we worked with the cockroaches. We had two in a cup and made observations. All of them hiss when you touch them on the back. We realized that they don't have eyes; they move around with their sense of smell.
