H-Weezy 1000 population

1000 population Question

q2 = .40

q2 (homozygous recessive individuals) = .40  400/1000
q (frequency of recessive allele) = .63
p2 (homozygous dominant individuals) = .14  140/1000
p (frequency of dominant allele) = .37 
2pq (heterozygous individuals) = .46  460/1000 

First of all, the q2 is given and in this case, it is .40. Next, you are supposed to square root the q2 value and this will give you .63. After that, since q and p is always equal to 1, and q is .63, therefore p has to be .37. Furthermore, you square .37 and this will give you .14. To find the heterozygous individuals, there is actually different kinds of methods; the main one being 2(p2+q2). However, the method in which I happen to find easiest for me, would be to add the q2 and p2 values, then subtracting that sum to 100. So, in this case it would be .46. 

Worm Lab

This was the picture that was taken during the Worm lab. This is the close-up view of the worm through as seen through a microscope. My group and I were able to successfully snap a photo so that this image would be available.

This was the data we were able to collect during the lab. Personally, I think that sample A is the water substance, sample B is the depressant, and sample C is the stimulant. The reason why I think this is because A seems to have constant results.(20) While B, has the lowest amount out of all the three, and C has the highest. 

AP Biology Blog 3 Selfies

This was actually the very first selfie I took on my group hiking trip. It was pretty difficult to take a selfie and so I asked one of my friends to take it for me. We all struggled but we finally managed to take a picture. Shortly afterwards, a park ranger had told us to be careful for snakes since we were in the grass. We immediately left the grassy area and became more aware.

This was the first group selfie we took and we snapped a photo of a gymnosperm, or a pine cone in this case. I was actually scared to be the one to hold the pine cone because I feared there may be spiders inside and I did not want to get bit. Other than the fact of possible spiders, I held it awkwardly since the edges of the pine cone were really sharp.

I think this was one of the last selfies since we were all heading home. This selfie happened right after a rather funny experience and I remember it vividly. This is a picture of a ladybug that one of my group members were lucky to have caught it and safely placed it in a small container. Since the lid was open, I was nervous it was going to fly away right before I managed to take the photo.
