I found many things interesting about genetics from this webquest. I never knew that hemoglobin was a protein in our blood that captures and carries oxygen. If this protein is mutated, it can cause a disorder called anemia. Also, keratin is the protein that make up our hair and nails. I also didn't know that if you stretch out the DNA in a human cell that it's 3 meters long. Altogether we have 46 chromosomes in our body. We get 23 of those chromosomes from each parent. I also learned from this webquest that the structural proteins are the proteins like bricks that can be stacked up like columns. They give the nerve cell its shape. I also learned that RNA moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of the cell.

What I learned from this webquest is that Thymine and Adenine are the first two pairs you put together then you start putting Cytosine and Guanine together over ad over again. I also learned about hemoglobin. I learned that hemoglobin is a special protein in your blood that captures and carries oxygen. I also learned that Keratin is a protein that makes up your hair and nails. Another thing I learned from this webquest is the constant parts of the helix are phosphates and sugars. What I found interesting in this webquest was when you pair up DNA strands with their correct partners it makes RNA.

I learned many things that are interesting about genetics. I never knew that DNA meant Deoxyribonucleicacid. It is so interesting how DNA is a double helix and that it consists of four different letters that connect together to make one tiny part of DNA!I thought that proteins were just in things you eat, but now I know why we eat things with proteins because it helps your body work. It's so interesting that keratin is in my hair and nails. I found it so cool that a human DNA cell can be stretched to three meters. DNA is the essential part for all living things to live and grow including you and me!

There were a lot of things that I had found very interesting about this webquest. One of the things that I had found interesting is that hemoglobin is one of the proteins that is inside of my blood. Also i found it interesting that our hair and our nails are made up of.  Another thing that I found interesting is that the hemoglobin carries and captures the oxygen for your blood. something that I had learned is that if you stretched out all of the DNA from someone's body, it would be three meters long. that is about as long as a car. Also I learned that if your proteins are mutated, it could cause a disorder called anemia. I found it cool that DNA is make up of four specific things. These things all match up with a specific thing and they repeat themselves over and over again until it reaches an certain point and it stops. Lastly, I found out what DNA stood for. It stands for Deoxrybonucleic Acid and there is another on called RNA which means Ribonucleic Acid. There are different types of RNA such as tRNA and mRNA. This is what I have found interesting about this webquest and what I have learned from it too.

Their are many things I found interesting in the webquest we completed. One of things I found the most interesting was that keratin is the protein that makes up my hair and nails. Also I found interesting that nerve networks are what is responsible for picking up a pain and delivering it to the the next cell , all the way to the brain. Being a clumsy person finding out this information is interesting. Another thing that was thought provoking was hemoglobin is the special protein in my blood that carries oxygen. Another thing that was interesting was I have always wanted to know what DNA stood for and in this webquest I found out that it means deoxyrbonucleic acid. I also found out that every living thing needs a set of instructions that are necessary to live and grow. These instructions are found in the nucleus of every cell. That is what I have learned from the DNA webquest.

There were a lot of things that I found very interesting about this webquest. I learned a lot more about genetics. I learned that if our hemoglobin gene is normal the protein works fine. If the instructions in that gene are changed or "mutated" than changes in the hemoglobin could result. One mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia. I also learned that hemoglobin is a protein in our blood that captures and carries oxygen. I was very interested about how keratin is the protein that makes up my hair and nails. Keratin also helps my hair and nails grow. Which I never knew until now. It is pretty cool! I also think it is pretty awesome that we have 25,000 genes in our body. Did you know that DNA stands for Deoxyrbonucleic Acid. I never new that there were different types of RNA, there mRNA and tRNA I really enjoyed this webquest I learned many things about genetics that I never new before!

In this web quest there were a lot of facts that interests me. There were a lot of things that I did not know about genetics that are really interesting. For example I didn't know that genes played such an important part in our bodies. They are the directions for building all the proteins that make our bodies function. I think it's crazy how we have 25,000 genes in our body. I also think it's amazing that our bodies have about 100 trillion cells. We have such small bodies but somehow we are able to fit 100 trillion cells in our bodies! Another thing I learned was that keratin actually helps our nails and hair grow. There are so many things that help our bodies stay healthy and grow. This web quest was not only fun but it taught me a lot of cool facts about genetics.

I leaned a lot about genetics in this web quest. I didn't know that hemoglobin was a protein in our blood that captures and carries oxygen. I also didn't knows that keratin makes up our hair and nails.it was interesting that if you stretch out the DNA in a human cell that it is 3 meters long.Genes are the directions for building all the proteins that make our bodies function. Also the web quest was interesting because when you pair up DNA strains with there correct partner it makes RNA. The morse code activity was the best thing in the web quest. The web quest really helped me learn more about genetics.

Genetics-Kyle Bacso

2018-05-10 13:38:26 UTC

I learned a lot of cool things in this webquest. One thing that I found perticularly interesting was that the DNA from a human stretched out would be three meters long! I also learned that we get twenty three chromosomes from each parent. And some animals have over one thousand. I found the morse code activity fun. I learned that A is always to T. And C is always with G. But in mRNA the U replaces the T for the A. I learned the keratin is a protein that makes up my hair and nails. I never knew that hemoglobin was in my blood, and that there are diferent cells in my blood called blood cells. There is also white blood cells. In a DNA molecule nucleotide, sugar, and the base are the main things that is in it. The mRNA strand was a little confusing at first, but then I figured it out. The back confused me until I found out that the answers weren't directly in the webquest and it was a common sense thing.

In this web quest I learned many things to do with proteins and DNA. I learned that DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Also learned that there is a whole other alphabet for DNA and it consist of only 4 letters. In the web quest what I liked were the dragging games . What I found interesting was how you get 23 chromosomes from each parent, which gives you 46. Also that keratin makes up our hair and nails, I think it is strange that our hair is made up as our nails even though they look and feel so different. With the drag and pull game I learned that T and A go together and G and C go together.Another thin really interesting thing is how if you stretch a chromosome it is 3 m long. That is what I learned and found interesting with the web quest.

While I was working on this webquest I learned a lot of things about genetics. One thing I learned about was a protein that was built like a brick. Every gene needs directions to operate the body. There are a network of nerves throughout our bodies which send messages that pain has been received. These nerve networks send the message to the brain almost instantly, saying hey something hurts over here. I also learned there is a special protein called a "receptor" protein. These proteins are responsible for sending the pain message from cell to cell until it gets to the brain. I also learned that a DNA strand is as long as a car!

While I was working on the webquest I learned that there are over 25,000 genes in our body and that each human has 23 pairs of chromosomes in their body which equals 46 total chromosomes. I also thought that it was interesting of how our nails and our hair are made up of this protein called Keritain. Another thing that I though was interesting was that there is and alphabet for DNA and it consist of four letters which is a,u,c, and t. I also learned that hemoglobin is a protein in our blood that captures and carries oxygen. I also learned about the study of heredity. Heredity is the study of the passing down of traits from parent to offspring. There are different types of DNA and RNA like tRNA and mRNA

During this webquest, I learned a lot of things. I learned about DNA, RNA, double helix and lot more. In the webquest there was an activity that we had to do. The activity was that we had to put together a double helix DNA structure. While I was building the double helix, I learned that C and G attract each other and A and T attract each other. I also learned about uracil, proteins and transcription. There was so much that I learned off of this webquest.

Genetics- Aidan Hackett

2018-05-10 13:42:26 UTC

I learned a lot about genetics. While I was working on the web quest I learned that genetics is the study of heredity. Our body is made up of about 100 trillion cells, and each of them have a job to do. I also learned that if you pull DNA from a single human it would be three meters long. That's as long as a car! Another thing I learned was if the male produces a X chromosome and the female produces an X chromosome it will be a female. If the male produces a Y chromosome and the female produces an X chromosome it will be a boy. A gene makes every human different and unique in their own way.

I learned from the webquest some interesting facts. I learned that DNA is much more than just a bunch of little dots inside your body. DNA has to do with the way you look and what your made of. Genes and traits are passed down from your parental unit. This is the study of heridity. Heridity is the study of the passing down of traits from parent to offspring. We learned about punnett squares and how to do them. We learned about pea pods and about probability. We learned about guinea pigs. If the father is black and the mom is white what is the chance it is going to be white.

When I was working on the webquest I learned that The certain letters got with the same letter every time and if they don't they are mutated. If is was a C it would go with the G. If it was a T is would go with the A. I also learned the when your parents mate . If the Male gives Y chromosomes, the baby will be male. If the male gives a X chromosomes,the baby will be a female . I found another thing really interesting that the you give 23 chromosomes to the baby when born and he ends up with 46 at full growth.

I learned a lot about genetics from the webquest. I learned that your genes are passed down from both of your parents. Also that their are many different cells in your body. Also DNA determines how you look and how your gonna look.

Genetics- Liam Kansler

When I was working on the genetics webquest, I learned that genes are instruction manuels for our body that are made of DNA. I also learned that four of the twenty-six letters in the alphabet go with genetics. Those letters are A,C,T, and G. A goes with T, and C goes with G, but if they do not go together, they will mutate. Another neat thing I learned was that each human being has forty-six chromosomes in their bodies! And when two organisms give offspring, the new organism gets twenty- three chromosomes of each parent. I really enjoyed this webquest on genetics.

While doing this webquest, I learned that cells go through a long process in order to form. This helped me understand that cells are constantly being made without us even knowing. genes are passed form both parents and we receive genes from everywhere. This webquest helped me understand how cells work better than other sources. By seeing the process in a visual point of view, I understood what is going on as the cell develops. I also learned that DNA alphabet is four letters: A,T,C,G. if it's RNA, there is no thymine. Instead, it's uracil. I enjoyed going through the webquest on how genetic are formed.

Genetics- Grace Griffin

2018-05-10 13:51:54 UTC

During this web quest, i discovered how the cells have a long process in order to form. Genetics is the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. I learned how genes are passed down from your parents. Chromosomes are passed down from your parents. You have 23 chromosomes from each parent and have 46 in all. The two chromosomes of a pair contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. Also that a child must be genetically different from either parent, or from any of their four grandparents.

During this web quest I learned many different and unique things. One thing I learned is that you get 23 chromosomes from each parent and in all you have 46. Also not just humans have chromosomes actually there are many animals that have more chromosomes then us humans do. I also learned that if our hemoglobin gene is normal the protein works fine. if the instructions in the gene are mutated in other words changed then it changes in the hemoglobin could result. A mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia. A little fact is the protein that grows are hair is called keratin. There are also many types of RNA for example, mRNA and tRNA. Another little fact about DNA is that if you stretch it out it is 3 meters long. I also learned that the T is pared with A, and C is always pared with G. But it's different from mRNA instead of the A pared with T the A is replaced with U. I am glad that we did this web quests it really help me under stand genetics.

While I was working on the DNA Web quest I learned a lot of things about my genes, genetics, how my body works, chromosomes, my blood, and proteins. I also learned a lot more but I only put a few. I am very pleased with the amount of information I learned from doing this web quest. One of the things I learned is about chromosomes and how many we have. Chromosomes are efficient storage units for DNA. Humans have 46 chromosomes but we get 23 chromosomes from each parent. Although animals and insects have a different amount because of their genes and what type of animal or insect they are. For example a carp (a type of fish has 104 chromosomes. This is one of the many things that I have learned about in this web quest.

I also learned that DNA is an abbreviation for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid. One thing that I found interesting is that humans have 46 chromosomes. Also that not all living things have the same amount of chromosomes. The last thing that I thought was interesting is that keratin makes up hair and nails. That is what I learned and what I thought was interesting about the Web quest.

While doing the webquest I learned many things about the basic of genetics. Something I learned that humans have 46 chromosomes and we get 23 from each parent. I also learned that not all living thinks have 46 chromosomes. For example mosquitos have six. Something else I learned was the difference between transcription and translation. Also there are 4 letters from the alphabet that go with genetics. Those letters are A, T, C, and G. These letters go in pairs. A goes with T and C goes with G. I learned an easy way to memorize this is to think "apples in the tree" for A and T. For C and G you can think "Car in the garage". I enjoyed learning about genetics during this webquest.

Throughout this unit, I learned a lot about genetics. I learned that the traits that you can see (like brown hair and blue eyes) are called genotypes . The traits that you have that you cant see (like where your origin) are called phenotypes. I think that learning about Dominant genes, Recessive genes, and how to make punnet squares was very interesting.

I learned many things while doing this webquest. One thing that I learned was that a human has 46 chromosomes. A human get 23 from each parent. I also learned that there is a long process that each cell has to undergo in order to form. Another thing I learned was that there are four bases of DNA; thymine, guanine, adenine, and cytosine. Thymine can only be paired with adenine. Guanine can only be paired with cytosine. Thymine can not go with guanine or cytosine, guanine can not go with thymine or adenine, adenine can not go with guanine or cytosine, and cytosine can not go with adenine or thymine. If they do get paired, they will mutate. When all of these are attached, they are called a DNA strand. The last thing that I learned was that keratin is in our hair and our nails. This webquest taught me a lot.

I learn many things from the web quest. First off, I learned that you get 23 chromosomes from each parents to equal 46 chromosomes. Not every living thing has 46 chromosomes. Mosquitoes have six chromosomes. The DNA molecule is also in a twisted ladder shape or a double helix. I found it interesting that DNA used letters. DNA encodes a detailed sets of plans. they used that letters A, T, C, and G I also learned the difference between transcription and translation.

Genetics- Taylor Bazzett

2018-05-10 18:12:03 UTC

During this webquest I learned many new things. I learned that a double helix is a long strand on DNA that contains a lot of genetic information. All of this information is what makes up your physical and inner traits. Because the double helix is known as a "ladder" per say, it is said that thymine and adenine will meet in the middle, as well as cytosine and guanine will bond together to complete the formation of the double helix. The bases of the DNA, which form the rungs of the latter, are called codons. I learned that this means that the codons can be joined together, as long as they follow the specific rules. These rules are the matching codons shown above, such as cytosine and guanine.

During the DNA web quest I learned may things. One thing I learned was that there is a special protein in your blood that captures and carries oxygen called hemoglobin.The thing I found interesting about genetics about is how a double helix forms in DNA. The Adenine and the Thymine connect and the Cytosine and the Guanine connect together to form a double helix. RNA strands are different because the Adenine connects with Uracil and the Guanine connects with the Cytosine forming an RNA strand.

I learned that DNA means that Deoxyribo nucleic Acid. Also, the DNA molecule has a double helix shape. When you hurt something your nerve networks they send signals to the brain cells. For, example when you drop a bowling ball on your toe the nerve sends the signal to the brain instantly that is why we yell out when it happens. If you took out your DNA it could stretch as long as a car. Finally, it is really cool because some animals have a lot of chromosomes such as a carp which has 104 chromosomes.

When doing this webquest for our worksheet, I learned some things about DNA, RNA, etc. One of the things that I have learned is about the bases. There are four bases of DNA, adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. Another thing that I have learned is about how many chromosomes each child gets. The child gets 46 chromosomes, 23 from both father and mother. I have also learned that if you stretch out the DNA of an average human, the chord of DNA would be about as long as a car in length. Another thing that I have learned is that DNA stands for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid.
