Exploring Biology

The members of Temperance Brainers have some opinions to share regarding Biology, especially when it comes to the topic Genetics.

What I learn from Genetics is that it is quite complex. We get to study the structure of DNA, the inheritance of traits, and a lot more. I would say that this is an interesting topic to learn because you get to understand the concepts of the DNA and chromosomes and also its major functions in the body. There is also a brief history about it through experiments of scientists like the blender experiment of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase. I also learned about the genetic mutations and disorders, and even inheritance of traits - through our parents or previous generations. I also get to learn about genetic manipulations which is very interesting because with technology, anything is possible. Overall, it's a fun experience even if it is complex as it would be.

I have learned from this lesson, the Genetics, that we all have traits that may be dominant or recessive. This chapter is really important to know and we should have a knowledge because we all have this. Also, in this chapter, I knew the history of genetics. The traits we have can come from parents or grandparents that we may inherit. I also knew some experiments and studies made by the scientists who are involved with the study of genetics like using blender. I always hear about DNA but didn't know the definition. But now because of this topic, I knew what it meant. Thanks to our Science teacher, Mr. Romeo Dolor for giving us an opportunity to report about this and gain some knowledge.

Genetics give a lot of help in educating is about ourselves and our history. DNA gives us an idea of how people are linked together and of why we have that or why we have those. It gives us a clear perception of why we have similar traits that our parents and that we also have. Not only does it pass that looks but sadly, it also passes illnesses that may trigger as you age. But all of them are part of being who you are. A part where you are something that completes your family.

Science isn't my favorite subject but our topic right now, genetics, is pretty interesting for me, basically because of the fun facts and stories I recently learned. Other than being fun and interesting, I still find it slightly hard and complicating for me. I hope and I know I will try to understand more about genetics this coming week.

DNA can make a good experiment. You can invent a new life or can make a change by perfecting your work in DNA but there are also experiments in DNA that are not working because of the wrong calculations. Then some are just release in public for money or to help the other people. You can change the world by your or our idea or work in the DNA but you have to use it in a good way not where you can do bad things. DNA can be a change to a man's life but it should be a good thing. You can be a change to people's lives.
