 Interesting Facts

-Color blindness is more prevalent among males than females, because the most common form of color vision deficiency is encoded on the X sex chromosome.

 -About 8% of all men are suffering from color blindness.

 -If a woman is red-green colorblind, all her sons will also be colorblind.

 -This can be passed down from parent to child through genetics.

 -Police officer, firefighter, and airline pilot are the most famous jobs which require normal color vision.

 -Color blindness is also called Daltonism, after the scientist John Dalton.

 Reflection

 -Before learning about this topic I was not aware that more men got this than women. Also the amount of men suffering from this. It surprised me that if a woman is red-green colorblind than her kids automatically get that. I have learned more about this topic and will now be able to remember it for the final.

    This was a good post due to the fact that you gave interesting facts to start it off. I personally start with a definition which helps me understand it better but interesting facts work too. The reflection was well structured and I also didn't know that more men get it than women.

    I like the facts and pictures you have, but you could've had a bit more information (or at least a video). Overall, your layout was neat and to the point. I liked your reflection, I didn't know that if a woman was red-green color blind that all he kids would be, that was interesting to learn.

    I like how the pictures you put in. It would've been nice if there was a video. It's interesting to me also that more men are colorblind then women. I think you covered and gave good information on everything. Your reflection would literally be same as mine, it made perfect sense and I could 100% relate to it.

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
