Genetic crosses and genetic diseases
5) genetic diagrams are useful prior to pregnancy because the couple can see whether their child will have a genetic disease when they are born. This could also cause deep consideration to going with the risk of seeing their child suffer from a genetic disease and watch him/her die or they could terminate the pregnancy killing the child . However there is also a possibility that the child will not have the genetic disease. It could also be against their religion to terminate the pregnancy as it is in some religions such as Islam.
3) people with cystic fibrosis are prone to chest and lung infection because it causes a large build up of mucus.
5) it can go against their religion to terminate a pregnancy. They could be taking the risk of letting their child suffer from the disease and they could have to watch their child suffer from it and die. They could also be killing their child when it might not have the disease.
Assessment) Task 1) because the parents pass on these characteristics known as alleles to their children and the parents can have a recessive and dominant set, 2 recessive or 2 dominant. Two of the same alleles can been classified as homozygous which is either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles. If the parent has one recessive and one dominant it is known as heterozygous It passed on by the alleles in the nucleus. It is surprising because brown hair is more dominant than blonde hair in the family. This means that brown hair is a dominant allele and blonde hair is recessive.
Task 2) it was not certain that the child would be blonde because all births are random and it just meant that brown hair had a higher possibility of being given to the child than blonde hair.
Task 3) Will has a stockier build whereas the others have a slimmer build. He and Andy both have blue eyes whereas Ellie has brown eyes.
Task 4)
How to ruin a planet 2/6/14
1) A) pollution is anything that spoils the environment such as soot or harmful fumes. B) air, clean water then land because the air can contain many harmful fumes of chemicals which can kill you, for example carbon monoxide can because it is produced from car fumes but now there are metal catalysts which help reduce the carbon monoxide produced.
2) I think that the government are at fault because they know what is happening to the planet but they let it happen day and night.
3) A) local actions is how actions we take can affect people and places for better or worse B) I) a good good global effect is when you save electricity or use less oil. II) a bad global effect is when you leave electricity on when your not using it.
4) A) sustainable means something can be continued into the future without harm B) use bio-fuels, less electricity and also use a environmentally friendly way of transport
5) In the future, the world is in terrible conditions, people are living in slums because of all the mess you people left in the oceans and the waters which you polluted. The cities are in better conditions than the ledc’s in South America, Asia and North America. North America is a wasteland because of all the chemicals in the waters, New York was sunk because of the mass global warming where as countries in the Middle East, Europe and Oceania were lucky as they had time to build barriers. Please try to change your way
From you in the future
