Summary: This week I learned what a genotype, an allele, and a phenotype are. A genotype is a pair of alleles. A phenotype is a characteristic such as personality, hair color, eye color, how tall or short you are, etc. This also applies to animals and plants as well. Then an allele is the traits that you might have before you're born. I also learned about dominant traits and recessive traits. Dominant traits are when you're most likely to get because they occur more often in your family. Then a recessive trait is when your less likely to get a trait because it's unique or it doesn't occur much in your family.
SP1:Asking questions and defining problems
A basic practice of the scientist is the ability to formulate empirically answerable questions about phenomena to establish what is already known, and to determine what questions have yet to be satisfactorily answered.
Did you ask a scientific question?
Yes we answered questions about genetics and DNA on a google doc. Some questions were what are genes, what's a phenotype, what's an allele, and what's a genotype.
