Hweezyyyy

The q^2 (Homo Rec) given was .27. To get the q by its self, you square root the number. Then you will have .52 for q (Rec Allele). To get p (Dom Allele), you subtract .52 from 1. This is because the alleles p + q equal 1. This gives us .48 for the p. Then you square that number to get the p^2. You will have .23 as the p^2.  After you have p and q, you are able to find 2pq (hetero dom). You multiply 2 x .52 x .48. You will have .50 as the 2pq

After finding the all the variables, they will all equal 1 in the equation 

            p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

After checking, you are able to find the percentages of the of the Dominant, Recessive, and Hetero individuals. 

To find the number of Homo Dom individuals, you multiply .23 x 1000 (the population). You will find that 230 individuals out of 1000 have the Dominant trait. 

To find the number of Homo Rec individuals, you multiply .27 x 1000 (the population). You will find that 270 individuals out off 1000 have the recessive trait. 

To find the number of Hetero Dom individuals, you multiply .50 x 1000 (the population). You will find that 500 of the individuals out of 1000 have the dominant trait and don't show the recessive allele.

wormies

I believe that A is the depressant, B is the normal water, & C is the stimulant. 

I based this on the data we collected from the whole class. I calculated the mean and medians of day 2 data of each group total. The mean of A is 30.45 &  the median is 31.5. The mean of B is 32.26 &  the median is 32. The mean of C is 33 & the median is 35. 

I concluded this by first making a prediction by looking at the worms. Then my group took gathering data. Afterward we compared our data to out prediction. In conclusion, we combined our data with the rest of the class & calculated the mean & median for the total class combined.

c00l Ap Bi0$elfie$

  

     During my summer adventures, I managed to collect majority of the listed ecology items needed 

to take pictures of. Throughout my running around, screaming "STUPID BUTTERFLY GET IN MY

 NET", and constant interruption of  "..HOLD ON I NEED TO TAKE A SELFIE THAT", I had a 

great time finding all of these items.

                       Here are a few of my favorite ecology selfies:




FIND THE BUMBLE BEE. 


Here's one of my successful attempts to get a bumble bee into a picture lol. This is an example of Mullerian mimicry because a harmless bumble bee resembles the dangerous yellow jacket. (maybe it was one) 

                                                      FIND THE STUPID BUTTERFLY


This made me shed a tear when I found out I actually caught the butterfly in my selfie. I thought these harmless creatures are easy to catch since people do it all the time. Ohoho I was wrong. These jerks are like dolphins, really smart and like to mess with other people.


                                            I SWEAR I DIDN'T KILL IT, I FOUND IT DEAD.



My backyard and house is famous for carrying huge and scary things  that need to be killed. 
I found this lizard in my backyard and put it against my wooden fence because it blended in so well with it. This is an example of cryptic coloration, or camouflage.
