End of Term Reflection
Here are some of the activities we did in class this term: Harper's Magazine ("Boots on the Ice"), Hurricane Evacuation Plan, Designer Babies (GATACA), Genetic Diseases, Evolution Movies/Research, NYT Science Reviews, Punnett Squares, Chemical Bond Diagrams, The Periodic Table, The Birth and Death of Stars

I enjoyed Punnett Squares, and the movies we've watched in class. Punnett squares as my favorite because it made me understand the differance between dominante and ressesive traits. I understand why I look like my grandfather. Because of the Punnett squares i undersood my "Human Genome Project" with ease because i knew what a ressive trait was. The task that was the most difficult for me to learn was genes. D.N.A. /R.N.A. and Unintended law of human nature. Genes involve too much memorizing there is no general rule to figure out an amino acid. Every thing had to go back to a refferance in a book. its impossible to get it on your own. Unintended effects of human nature was im possible to predict was would happen only. Let the damage happen then go back an review the cause. Computer Class = [More] Videos = [More] Student Group Activities = [More] Evaluations = [Less] I enjoyed the class because it was not only the teacher talking to students it was a lot of group work involved. other studens expaned things to me that i didnt catch so quickly off the teacher. I Just HATED the class was on friday night that really took some drive out of me because i dint want to be there but the matrial itself was very educating.

//Bioinidase Deficiency// Your body needs biotin a vitamin found foods to function properly.An enzyme called biotinidase extract the biotin from foods.
 * Biotinidase deficiency is a ressesive heredity trait.
 * Suppliments are avalible to arrest all syptoms of Biotinidase Deficiency

__Symptoms__

 * 1) A few days after birth, if a baby suffers in Biotinidase Deficieny. The baby could get seizures. (either [|convulsions], or [|clonus])
 * 2) An other symptom of Biotinidase Deficiency is [|hypotonia],(loss of musle mass, strength, and tension.)
 * 3) Other B.T.D. Deficiency symptoms is hearing loss, and hair loss.

__Genes__

 * Biotinidase enzyme (BTD)
 * Amino Acid (LYS)
 * 1) Biotinidase is an enzyme that extracts Biotin (vitamin H) from food. Your body need a daily increment of biotin.
 * 2) This enzyme also takes biotin from other enzymes in the body.
 * 3) After using the vitamin H, Biotinidase returns the biotin to other enzymes, so the vitamin could be reused.

__Cytogenetic Location__
Biotinidase is found in [|Chromosome 3 Location 3p25]

__Ideograms__
DNA: GTTATTTACTTTACGAGAGGC RDA: CTTTGAGAGCTTGTTTCTTAC Amino Acid : Lysine
