Evidence of Work:
For this project we were given clues about a murder we had to determine who committed the murder. The clues we where given included: finger prints, a note, pens from the suspects, and blood. We had to use methods such as ink chromatography to trace the clues back to a single suspect. In the end we believed that it was Nancy Normal who killed Carlton Comet and were told to make a presentation using the evidence to form a case. |

Content:
Fingerprinting: Recording the finger print of someone.
Ink chromatography: Separating ink into many different colored dyes that make up the ink.
Karyotypes: An organized profile of a persons chromosomes.
Pedigrees: A way to organize a families genetic history.
DNA Structure: DNA is made up of nucleotide that are held together by a double helix.
DNA Replication: The process that DNA goes through to replicate itself for cell division.

Genetics
- Alleles: Variations of a gene
- Dominant: Traits that are always expressed if present
- Recessive: Traits that are not always expressed when present
- Co-Dominant: Both traits are expressed
- Incomplete Dominant: A mixture of both traits
- Phenotype: The physical traits that are determined by the genetic makeup
- Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism
- Duplication: Repetition of a letter in the sequence
- Insertion: The addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs
- Repeat Expansion: A mutation caused by the slippages during DNA replication
- Deletion: The polymers slips on its template and forgets to add a base pair
- Nonsense: A stop codon is in the DNA sequence before it is supposed to be
- Frame shift: A genetic mutation that shifts the way that the sequence is read
- Substitution: A mutation that exchanges one base pair for another
- Misscense: A single nucleotide changes which results in the coding of a different codon
Reflection:
Throughout this project, my group had some peaks as well as pits. One of these pits was when I was sick for a wee and my group only had 2 people. Another pit was when I was the only one in my group making the presentation. One peak was that we were able to finish the presentation even though I was the only one working. Another peak was when we happened to look like Alvin and the chipmunks on the day of our presentation. Over all we didn't work that well together, but we were still able to finish on time.
