1. Determine the Genotypes of the parent cell 2. Write down the "cross" mating 3. Have a p-square drawn 4. Split the letters of the genotype for the parent and place them outside thep-square 5. Filling in the p-square you eill be able to determine the genotypes of offspring 6. Summarize your results (genotypes & phenotypes of the offspring) 7. Look at your accomplishment

In our notes today we learned about pennet squares. We learned how the letters go in the boxes from the parents and how to tell if they are homozygous or heterozygous and recessive or dominant. We also did a chart with the percents, genotypes, and phenotypes. I learned that if one of the parents have a capital t and a lower case t for the genotype then the phenotype will be what the capital t stands for. I Glow in the pennet squares and doing the percentage with the genotypes and phenotypes. I don't need to grow but I could study it so I can get better at it so i will not forget it by the time a test comes.

March 22th 2012 Ellis Island Notes

Ellis Island is used as an immigration station. The very first immigration station was opend up in 1891 within the first year of its opening a near 450,000 immigrants passed through Ellis Island. Today Ellis Island has many tourist attractions such as The Museum of Ellis Island Immigration. At first immigrants were arriving in New York and being processed at Castle Garden Immigration. Once the Government took control of the Immigration in 1890, Congress gave $75,000 to build the First Federal Immigration Station which would be located on Ellis Island. The building was 3 stroys tall and made of Georgia Pine. In 1897 fire (from an unknown origin) bruned the building down. In 1907 Ellis Island received an approximately 1.25 million immigrants. I think that my ancestors could have traveled through Ellis Island because Immigrants from Ireland, England and many more countries passed through the Island. Although I do not know for sure if any of my ancestors passed through the Island but it would be really awesome to know if they did. 3 pull factors would be The Promise of Freedom, Jobs, and Hope for a new life. The push factors from ther home country would be Not enough Jobs, War which happened in 1914, and Not enough crops which was popular in Russia because it is so cold and they don't have the nutrients to grow food.

April 3rd 2012 On my spring break I went to the mall and got a playstation 3. I played video games and watched television. I played basketball and hung out with some friends. I also went to church.
