Summary: This week I learned about gene flow, genetic mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. I researched gene flow while my team mates researched the the other subjects. Gene flow is when one species moves to a different species when neither of the species have interacted before. Genetic mutation is when someone's DNA changes permanently and it's totally random. The mutation can either be useful or not to survival. Natural selection is when the more common genetic trait is shown such as if a brown beetle were to reproduce with another brown beetle then their children would be brown beetles. Lastly genetic drift is when some genes of an organism is missing and the organism doesn't have that gene. An example is if someone is double jointed and their child isn't double jointed.
SP3: Planning and carrying out investigations
A major practice of scientists is planning and carrying out systematic investigations that require clarifying what counts as data and in experiments identifying variables.
Did you plan and carry out an investigation?
(Mostly when we do a investigation, lab, or experiment)
Yes we did 2 experiments in class, one was about genetic drift and the other was genetic mutation. The experiments included using M&M's and tic tacs.
