Ending his  career, the disease is still associated with his name. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons  die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.]]> 2016-03-22 16:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102250018 120612 https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102252109 2016-03-22 16:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102252109 120612 https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102439061 the punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict  an outcome of a breeding.]]> 2016-03-23 15:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102439061 1087821 https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102439393 genetics is like the blueprints to make a kid and the way it works with the alleles is that they take an allele from both parents and put them together and that gives you you're genotype which makes the phenotype ]]> 2016-03-23 15:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102439393 120612 https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102440329 2016-03-23 15:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102440329 120612 https://padlet.com/120612/9gtmjif59d42/wish/102441865 heterozygous means different alleles so they would have one dominant and one recessive allele.
