In the field of genetics, traits can become very confusing, especially when using yourself as an example. Just take a look in a mirror, and you might figure out that you may have several traits from both sides of your parents. Some traits may even come from generations past, and even before that time. Depicting the different types of traits had confused many individuals, so they finally continued to make a drawing other wise known as the Punnett square. Then main function of a Punnett square, is to find the possibility of a particular trait. Whether the trait is; hair color, eye color, body color, eyelashes, nose shape, finger shape, height, etc, you can always figure it out. The Punnett square is a plain square with two lines going to the opposite side. On the outer ends of the square you put in your parents genotype, whether its Tt, tt, or TT. 
        The genotype, and phenotype of a person are two completely different thing. The phenotype of a person is their physical appearance, while the genotype tells if their homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, etc. Once you fill out the outer side of the Punnett square, you can begin to write your information in the square as well. IF the outer side has TT, and tt, all the outcomes in the square would be Tt. Once you figure out the probability, you can also find the percentage as well.

One of the many projects that we created in science, was the DNA ornament. The DNA ornament had multiple uses, and purposes, but the construction was a bit difficult and sophisticated. The items needed for this consisted of: a copper wire, green beads, red beads, yellow beads, and blue beads. There were twelve basis that were created through this project. The first step, is to take one yellow, and one blue bead, and to have them on one end. The second step required a bit more effort, and strategy. You needed to hold the wire with your thumb, and middle finger, and you needed to bring the other end of the wire, so that a loop was created. Once you had that loop, you would pull slightly, so the beads would fall in place, and the first part was created.
         You need to repeat that process on the other side, so a row is created. In all, the wire you loop twenty-four times. Once you finish all twelve rows, taking the wire piece at the top, you would make tiny loops on both sides, and pull them through the outer beads, so the loop would disappear. Once you finish with that step, you would only pu

Throughout the course of this past semester, I found that the hardest task to memorize, had to be the cell parts, and their functions. I figured that their would be a difference between learning the parts, and just memorizing. Memorizing can be done one day, and be gone the next. Several approaches to learn the cell parts didn't exactly stick with me, and I hoped that I wouldn't fail the huge exam. Luckily for me, we had done a project that ultimately helped me in truly learning the cell parts and their functions. Both Quiz let, and the edible cell project had balanced the learning process. Never had I imagined that learning the parts would be so difficult, simply because we had done the same type of curriculum in the fifth grade. Things are easily forgotten in the time period,and I had no other alternative. 
          Hope had been lost through and through, but eventually the edible cell project sunk with me. Even the flash cards on quiz let had helped me on learning. Testing yourself to see if you know the curriculum would become extremely important to learning about the cell parts and their functions. Cramming the information into your head wouldn't help at all, simply because you would eventually forget it the next day.
