A) I know that there are dominant and recessive genes. Punnet Square gives the possibilities for each possible outcome of a trait based of dominance and recessive of the parents. It is made up of nucleotides that varies in their Nitrogen base. has antiparallel structure. Pyrimidines are Thymine and Cytosine. The Purines are Adenine and Guanine
B) It relates to my prior knowledge of DNA because it explains how the human emotions and how they are just chemical reactions that happen in our bodies. The other memes such as the first and second one explains how unreasonable DNA can be at sometimes and that it can be complicated to understand their behaviour.

A) I know that DNA is a nucleic acid and one of macro molecules of the body, which is found in the nucleus and contains genetic information. They are made of monomers called nucleotides, which is made of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a Nitrogenous base. There are different types of bases which differentiate the nucleotides: G and A have 2 bases and C and T have one base. The DNA has the shape of a double Helix, where the bases of one strand connect to the bases of the other strand (A with T and G with C).
B) The memes show how DNA has genetic information and information for the functions of the body and that this very useful molecule sometimes gives the organism traits that end up causing it problems

Summary: I learned a lot about the bonding of bnucletides, how the DNA is structured and the importance and amazingness of DNA. This was a very interesting and entertaining activity and i really like this was of learning.

1.
a) DNA is made up of chromatin, which contains a double helix made up of nucleic acids. Nucleic Acids are composed of Phosphate, Nitrogenous base, and a pentose sugar. This determines the code for different genetic traits passed down through the process of Mitosis and Meosis.
b) This memes relate to how genes are passed down and they give you traits.
2.
a) I learned how AT and CG pair and their structure. Genes make up genomes which are unique to every organism
b) I enjoyed the interactive activities and how the videos helped me learn.

Pidro Arellano

b. The memes in general talk about the good things that they can pass in each generation but also some diseases or bad issues that each generation can have.

Alfredo

2018-01-25 12:53:56 UTC

I know that DNA comes from our parents, and contains some of our genetic information. It comes in pairs, C and T, G and A. The memes explain how for every thing, there is a opposite thing that will change the first one.

I know that DNA is a nucleic acid that has a backbone made up of phosphate and deoxyribose. As well it holds up instructions telling our bodies how to develop and function, and it is an essential molecule for life. It is found in structures.
This meme shows how the DNA carries all of our internal and external genes that are use in our daily lives.

Macarena

2018-01-25 13:13:27 UTC

DNA, is the nucleic acid , that has as a function to engage in the instructions for building all organisms that are found in the molecule. One big part of the DNA is made with traits that your parents give you .The meme is related in how DNA carries a big part of the genes that we use everyday .Today I learned in how 40%of our body weight comes from proteins, proteins are essential in the function of DNA because it mades the amino acids.DNA traits also are inherited and socially influenced . The 2 different types of strand on DNA are paired in A with T , and C with G.

Ray Liang Reflection

2018-01-26 14:36:16 UTC

I learned about the building blocks of DNA and why do they interact in their independent ways due to their chemical structure. And how genes make up genomes and amino acids make up proteins.
I did also enjoy the process specially because the videos were very short but concise. And the video looked very professional which successfully caught my attention for a long time.

Chiara Quiñones

2018-01-26 18:07:33 UTC

I know that DNA is the genetic information that is transmitted from generation to generation. The DNA is transmitted to the off spring of two parents. The memes relate to DNA because they talk about the passing genes from generation to generation making them eternal. The memes also talk about the genetical diseases that can be passed down to generation in this case anxiety.

Antonella Giorgi

2018-01-26 18:09:03 UTC

A) I know that DNA is located in eukaryotes cells and located in the inside of the nucleus. DNA is so important because it contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides.
B)The memes relate to my knowledge of DNA is that chromosomes will always be in pair.

Manuela Villacis

2018-01-26 18:10:46 UTC

1. DNA is composed of a double helix. This double helix has four bases that goes in pairs. The bases are A,T,G,C. A pairs with T and G pairs with C. depending on the patter of repetition of the bases they define a genetic trait that someone would have.

2. It relates to the memes because they talk about how DNA influences in what people likes or dislikes, and how does people feel. As well some diseases you have most tendency to have.

Carolina Rangel

2018-01-26 18:10:48 UTC

a. Is an acid in the chromosomes in the centre of the cells of living things.
Also is a genetic material and RNA is transcribed from it.
DNA is double stranded molecule held together by weak hydrogen bonds between base pairs of nucleotides.
b. The memes explain that there is opposite thing that will change the first one, also the memes relate to genes are passed down and they give you some of traits.

Thais Mena

2018-01-26 18:10:50 UTC

a.) I know that DNA is a molecule that contains and creates genetic information. It is constructed of a double helix and passes thoughout generations. The location of DNA is in the nucleus and its made out of nucleotides.
b.) This memes relate with my prior knowledge of DNA because it determinate our features and characteristics.

Tuyet Dinh Van

2018-01-26 18:11:20 UTC

DNA is an hereditary genes in every organism. The DNA is located near the nucleus.They creates and contains genetic information. Their monomers are nucleotides and polymers are nucleic acids. C pairs with T, and G with A. DNA comes from both our parents and it's how we get our specific traits.
The memes connects with DNA because they demonstrates how DNA is being pass on to other generations. It represent how we get our genetic features from our parents.

Valentina Navas

2018-01-26 18:13:20 UTC

I know that DNA is a nucleic acid and it comes in pairs. The biggest part of the DNA comes from our parents traits, so it contains genetic information.
The memes are related to our prior knowledge about DNA because they give us fun facts about DNA information. They say how it influences the DNA in the stuffs we like and dislike and how we develop the characteristics from our parents traits.

Felipe Vorbeck

2018-01-26 18:14:24 UTC

i know that DNA is an abbreviation and that DNA stores peoples genetic code that is inhereted by your two parents DNA stores represive and dominant geans, also containes certain deseases that can be trigered. the meams above relate to my knowlage becouse they all show that the genes stored in your DNAdetermin your phisical characteristics and are a factor in inteligence as well

Nicolas Flores

2018-01-26 18:16:13 UTC

I know DNA is a nucleic acid and it is transferred from our parents to us. The memes relate to my knowledge because I know that DNA make a person what he is, with unique physical appearance and unique personalities

b)

Alvaro Becdach

2018-01-26 18:17:58 UTC

I know that DNA is genetic and passes from generation to generation in our families. In the last meme we can see how we develop with time our parents traits. As well it talks about how it influences in what we like and dislike.

Juan Martin Rueda

2018-01-26 18:17:58 UTC

I know DNA stores information and holds a genetic code that is unique.

The memes explain us some function DNA has in the body. They give us pros and cons.

Nicolas Lopez

I know that DNA is located inside the nucleus, it contains genetic information, it is transmitted from generation to generation.

Isabella Davalos

2018-01-26 18:19:27 UTC

a)I know that DNA carries genetic information. It is transmitted by our parents. DNA has dominant and represive genes. It holds genetic codes that identify a person and that is what makes a person unique

bIt connects to my prior knowledge of DNA because they talked about what people like how they fell and how the get sick. It talks about how a person is.

Chiara Quiñones I know that DNA is the genetic information that is transmitted from generation to generation. The DNA is transmitted to the off spring of two parents. The memes relate to DNA because they talk about the passing genes from generation to generation making them eternal. The memes also talk about the genetical diseases that can be passed down to generation in this case anxiety. In this activity I learned about DNA and the structure of the proteins in contains. What I mostly liked about this activity was learning about genetical differences between twins.

a. I know that DNA is an acid in the chromosomes in the centre of the cells of living things.
Also is a genetic material and RNA is transcribed from it.
DNA is double stranded molecule held together by weak hydrogen bonds between base pairs of nucleotides.

b. The memes explain that there is opposite thing that will change the first one, also the memes relate to genes are passed down and they give you some of traits.

Summary: I learned more about the structure and important things about DNA, also about bonding nucleotides, it was so interesting because I did not know some things and now I learned with this research.

Valentina Rivadeneira

2018-01-28 22:26:51 UTC

I know that DNA carries all genetic information. It is conformed by nucleic acids.

This memes show how genes are transferred to the next generation. They also show DNA's characteristics in our organism.

Reflection:

Today I learned that DNA is conformed of 2 strands that attract to each other as magnets, and that it has protein. I also learned that genes are mostly equal but a single difference in it makes that organism completely different than the rest.

What I like the most about this activity were the videos. They were clear and concise. They had the enough information to cover all the topics without making them boring. The illustrations made them dynamic and helped to understand the information.

Tuyet Dinh Van

2018-01-29 22:54:26 UTC

Summary: There are many different traits that you can inherit and see them while others not. This traits comes from the genes you inherit from your parents. Our DNA is formed our of 2 strands that contain a backbone and a chemical base. A will pair with T and C with G. The DNA structure is different each time and that's why everyone is unique. Proteins are also a huge part of our system because it's what keeps our body functioning. Proteins helps our body send different codes to keep working our system.
What I most enjoyed about this activity was getting to understand genes and DNA and how environment can affect some physical traits inherited.

Reflection

1. I learned the function of DNA and the a summarized function of some of it’s parts

2. I enjoyed the videos but as well the simulation because the videos explain the information really clearly and with drawing that makes it easier to imagine them

Diego Torres Reflection

2018-01-30 02:31:18 UTC

I learned a more detail explanation of how DNA works, how it is produced, how it affects our body, how it is form and how genes work. The videos show a clear explanation and contains direct information of the topic. I enjoyed the videos and how easy they were to understand.

Esteban Espinosa

2018-01-30 02:32:28 UTC

Reflection:
In the videos I learned that DNA is created by 4 blocks and they are connected by letters. It was great that they compared the blocks with lego pieces because they made it easier to understand. I also learned that every person's genum has the same genes arranged in the same order but there are small differences in the sequence of the bases in our genes that make every person unique. And that is something interesting because everyone have different opinions and different characteristics. In this assignement I enjoyed the videos because they had important imformation and they were short.

Diego Castillo 2

2018-01-30 12:10:37 UTC

If I had to summarise what I learned today, It is that DNA is a very complex molecule that are the instructions of our cells, and what make us who we are and unique, certain traits are passed on by DNA. DNA is a double helix with a sugar phosphate backbone and nitrogenous base that pair in this manner. TA and GC.

Pascal Bermeo 2

2018-01-31 23:19:23 UTC

A) I have learned that DNA is a very difficult thing, they make us physically and is our "destiny" because it decides somethings for us, that DNA is copied and hold by Hydrogen bonds.
B)I enjoy learning about what I am done, and I enjoy building the DNA ATCG nucleotides in a stimulation.

Nicolas Lopez 2

2018-02-01 00:40:14 UTC

reflection:
a) I learned the different functions of DNA, DNA is a very difficult theme to deal with, it has many parts and each part is very important for the function of DNA.
b) I enjoy the the interactive way I learned with the videos and the simulator.

Refleccion Pedro Arellano

2018-02-01 02:42:37 UTC

a I would say that I learned how the DNA works and how to build the structure of itself.
b I enjoy the last game and the well done videos that make everything clear.I learned a lot of things that in my research of other clases I just didn't understood.

isabella Davalos reflection

2018-02-01 04:14:06 UTC

What I learn is about the basic of DNA and how it is structure as well as protein and traits.

I think this was a fun activity because I think is sometimes fun learning on our own by watching short videos that are easy to understand.

Alegria Riera Reflection

2018-02-19 14:42:25 UTC

I learned the function of DNA and as well all of the structures and everything. It is a very complex topic and as well that it has many parts to it.

This activity was different and I liked it because I learned a lot form it but in a more interactive way so it was a lot more fun, as well easier to understand.

Alegria Riera

2018-02-19 14:45:56 UTC

I have learned that Dna is basically present in all living organisms and as well that it carries genetic information through it.

The memes connect to Dna because they are talking about many different things and one of them is that some sicknesses can be passed through generations like father to daughter, this makes them have more tendency to have.

2018-02-23 18:29:00 UTC

María Eduarda So

2018-02-23 18:29:37 UTC

What i’ve learned is that DNA is one of the most complex existing things and the whole proceds it needs to go through.

What I liked about this activity is that we had the chance to see many videos and interact more with the activity than having a lecture about it

María Eduarda

2018-02-23 18:34:47 UTC

What I already know about DNA is that is the basic dtructure of life and that it holds all of your information

Even though I dont know the name of every molecule in the memes, thet relate to what I already know because they tell us their functions and consecuences of each. It also shows that DNA is not perfect and that it might have some minor errors

2018-02-23 18:37:22 UTC

Anna Puente

2018-02-23 18:38:08 UTC

Some things I aleready know about DNA is that they hold all our genetic information. I know the sequence that is A with T and C with G. I know that it is what makes us have our physical characteristics.

This memes show that DNA may hold good things like skin or hair color, but diseases or bad things too. They are not always what we want them to be which is negative mostly.

Anna Puente Reflection

2018-02-25 19:09:18 UTC

I learned all different functions and parts of DNA, a lot about genes and proteins and their importance on our bodies.

I really enjoyed the intraction and watching videos, i think it is a really productive and effective way to learn.
