List 3 traits that you know you have?

Walt: List 3 traits that you know you have?


The 3 traits that I know that I have is that I have naturally curly hair, Allergies and I can see the colours red and green. My hair was naturally curly and I got from my mum and dad. I've gained my allergies from the environment. So that means that I'm allergic to pollen from the flowers. Then the last one is that I can definitely see the colours red and green.

Where DNA is found?


Walt: Write a Sentence about where DNA is found?

The cells in the body contains a nucleus, where it contains all the DNA in each individual. The DNA is packaged up as an chromosome. Chromosome's are made of DNA, but these chromosome's are found in the nucleus.

DNA is the code that carries instructions for building living organisms. It is inherited from parents. A section of DNA that has instructions for a trait is called a gene. A gene is the section of DNA that has the instructions for a protein that makes a trait. 

In the picture above, you could see an eye cell that has all the DNA in its nucleus, and the gene for eye colour has instructions to make a protein. The DNA of the gene has instructions for green eye colour. The individual has green eyes, because of the instructions in their DNA and in their genes, which is found in every one of their cells.

What & how I learnt the Science behind my traits?

Walt: A description of your Perry the Pear investigation, an image from the investigation.

On Monday, we walked into the class and their was blood everywhere. Last night, the murderer hit Perry the Pear in the head. The only way for us to find the killer was to peel and chop the skin into small chunks, because the skin doesn't have much DNA in it.

We did some steps to remove the DNA from being trapped inside the cells, so that just the DNA is in the juice. Then we used alcohol to chill it and then we could see the white DNA! We found out that Bob the Blueberry was the murderer because he was jealous that Perry the Pear was in a relationship with Sally the Strawberry.
