Blog 7 What was dangerous about Darwin's idea?

Darwin's theory was DANGEROUS because he believed in science. which he thought was better than the religous explanations society believed. Darwin could have been charged for going against the Anglican Church and society. This could have made Darwin an enemy to the religious society

Blog#6 There are many types of evolution convergent and divergent are two. Look them up. Define them and give an example of each type of evolution.

Convergent evolution is when different species show a similar trait that both of them share but did not come from the same ancestor. For example, birds and bats have one similar characteristic which is their wings, but their ancestors are different. They are constructed different but both have the same abilities.

Divergent evolution is when they do share a common ancestor but differ in structure and function. Due to the fact that a species must adapt to different environments, that one common structure becomes different physically and is used for other purposes. Sometimes this results in a new species. For example, the Galapagos Finches used to live on the same Island and had the same beak but as they flew away to different enviroments and adapted differently. That is how their beaks changed.

Blog 5 explain how different species form speciation

One way speciation can happen is by a natural disaster causing geographic isolation. Geographic isolation is when the environment of a species seperates causing a new specie(s) to be created. For example, if an earthquake was to happen in between the ocean causing seperation between two creatures that are the same, a new species would emerge because they would have to learn to survive in the new enviroment.

Blog #4 summarize what Darwin said about evolution

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is about "Natural selection." Natural selection is a process in which, Darwin explains how good traits are passed on in order for species to survive in future generations. He also discovered that all species came from one ancestor and branched out to become the tree of life.

Blog #3 Genetics related topic of your choice

Human genetics describes the study of inheritance as it occurs in Human beings. Genes can be the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can be useful as it can answer questions about human nature, the diseases and development of effective disease treatment, and understand genetics of human life. Inheritance of traits for humans are based upon Gregor mendels model of inheritance. Mendel deduced that inheritance depends upon discrete units of inheritance, called factors or genes.

Blog #2 Should we clone full humans? For what purpose?

Yes i think we should be able to clone full humans. I think we should be able to as long as the person(s) that are being cloned approve of it.It would be cool because if you feel sick or you cannot make it somewhere important you can always send your clone to replace you. It may be cool but also have some defects for example if your clone says something and the next day they ask you but it was not you who said it, so you do not remember.

Blog entry #1 Predict a way that genetics will be used much more frequently in the future. Defend your prediction.

I think that genetics will be used more often in the criminal justice system to catch criminals. Also to cure and prevent diseases that have not yet been cured. It may define the future of medicine but along with good benefits come downfalls.
