Evolution: The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
Its basically how we as humans and other species change in time. We inherit those traits and it is passed on the next generation. Jean Baptiste De Lamarck was the first discover that specices change over time. He was also the first to outline his developing ideas about evolution. The in 1802 Lamarck published Système des Animaux sans Vertebres, on the classification of invertebrates. Then a year later he published Hydrogéologie. Lamarck believed that life there was a progressive developments in nature. He believed that humans never became exinct but human changed into other species such as animals, also that human kept evolved upwards.
Then there was Charles Darwin. Darwin attented medical school then switched his magar. Darwin became to be a igeon breader, and started having questions. like if they could be so differnt why can't other species? t the age of 22 he went on a voyage for 5 year, which was only suppose to take 2 years. He conculed that the earth was much older than what he thought. Darwin started wondering how land forms developed. He started to conclude that not just land forms changed but species did too.He seen different animals and found many different fossils. So then Darwin started writing about all hes discoveries and all of his thoughts about all the differnt things that he explored. Darwin believed the theory of humans being animals then over time created to apes. Charles Darwin theory was a sercert he sat on his result for a while. He was scared that it would upset the churches and his scientific fault would be ruined. Then guy named Alfred Russel Wallance was about the take credit for Darwins life work because Alfred wanted to publish a book about evolution. Therefore Alfred inspered Darwin to publish his work anf they became partners. Darwin published a book about he coral reef formation, and grew to write many more.
Mircroevolution:Evolution resulting from a succession of relatively small genetic variations that often cause the formation of new subspecies.There are three ways the micro can occur. mutation, genetic drift, and natural selection. Mutation is change n DNA. Genetic drift is unpredictable change in a species population. And natural selection is an organism based on reproducing. Macroevolution: refers to evolution of groups larger than an individual species.
I believed that God created everything. However it does make me think how we all got here. And if we were animals in one point in time.
Why do you think Vincent left his family, tearing his picture out of the family photo, after winning the swimming race against his brother?
I think that they left him out because he wanted them to think of his brother was still the best.
Describe the relationship between Vincent and Anton.
Anton and Vincent relationship was that Anton is better then him so Vincent always came after him.
When Jerome Morrow said to Vincent/Jerome, “They’re not looking for you. When they look at you, they only see me,” what did he mean? Can you find any parallels to this type of situation in real life?
I think it meaning that when they see him, he is perfect because jerome has the perfect DNA. And yes because someone can change their outer appearance.
Choose your favorite character from the film. Explain why you choose that person. Would you want to be that person? Why? Why not?
My favorite person was Vincent because he had the drive to accomplish his dream.
At the end of the film, you are told that the Doctor knew about Vincent all along. Why did the Doctor go along with the fraud? What would you have done if you were the Doctor?
The doctor went along with the fraud because i think he wanted vincent to accomplish dream. If i was the doctor i would have also get him go because its shouldn't matter he he does not have perfect DNA.
The technology to do what was done in the movie is definitely possible within the next fifty years. Do you think that Vincent’s world could eventually happen in America? Why?
I believe that it can happen, because we are getting so advanced with technologyits just a matter of time.
What do you think is wrong with the society portrayed in "GATTACA"? What is right?
I believe that it is not right, they should not be ranked on the DNA. It doesnt tell you who is a good person or really wants this job.
What were the screenwriters trying to tell us through the episode of the 12-fingered pianist? Is anything wrong with engineering children to have 12 fingers if, as a result, they will be able to make extraordinarily beautiful music?
i dont think it is wrong to engineer your children, it would just make them better. However it would be a little weird to have 12 fingers.
You and your spouse are having a child and are at the Genetic Clinic pictured in the movie. What characteristics would you want for your child and what would you ask to be excluded? Why would you make those choices?
I would want to make my children with the best looks and talents, and good health
Picture yourself as either Vincent, Jerome, or Anton. Would you have acted the same or done things differently if you were in the same world as them?
If i was jerome i would kill myself. Vincent- i would not have done anything different. Anton- i would try to get along with my brother.
How does the society in GATTACA resemble the type of society America was during the height of the eugenics movement?
America wants people to be perfect, good looks and brains!
I think that most likely that all of them have a disease because they all have changes in their DNA. However I don't think that Carol is that messed up because she is just missing one base which caused everything to shift over. Bob should have something to worry about because he is already missing amino acid because he is not getting enough protein. And Abby just has one base change, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Abby: GAG-->GTG point mutation Glu( +)-->Val(hydrophobic)
one base change
Bob: AAG-->TAG LYS-->STOP end of the protein= Truncation mutation
missing amino acid because it's not getting enough protein
Carol: DNA is not that messed up but it is missing a base therefore it made everything shift over, which is called a Frameshift mutation.
When i heard about all the ways you can make a baby, I was amazed! I had no idea you can reproduce in so many ways. Well of course everyone knows a the nature way with sex. But the other 18 ways are just crazy.
Nature sex
single sperm is injected into the mothers egg.
of mother with sperm
with egg and sperm donors, using surrogate mother
Vitro fertilization using egg of mother and sperm of father
Intra cytoplamic sperm injection
Freezing embryos for womans later use
Premplantation genetic diagnosis
egg donor
sperm donor
egg and sperm donor
surrogate using parents
surrogate and egg donor
surrogate and sperm donor
egg, sperm from baby father
surrogate using egg anf sperm donors.
Cytoplasmic transfer
Nuclear transfer/ cloning
The one that i think is pretty amazing is taking eggs from a woman and freezing them then later fertilzing them with mans sperm, returning the embryos to her uterus days later. Therefore you could have a baby at whatever age you want. The other one that interests me is cloning. I think that it is so crazy that we got so advanced, that it is a possibly. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/baby/glossary.html#frozen
First, I added 20 ml warm water to the wheat and mix for 3 minutes . I noticed the wheat got very thick. then after i added 1 ml (1/4 teaspoon) of detergent and mix gently every five minutes. It looked like watery bread crumbs and it also turned more yellow. The i used a pipette to remove foam from the top of the solution After that i put 14 ml of alcohol down the side so that it forms a layer on the top of the water. It helped the DNA get out from the wheat. Next, i let it sit for a few minutes and white stringily DNA appeared where the water meet the alcohol. Then i used a little wooden stick to to remove the DNA. We thought the over all DNA looked like a booger! Ahaha....it formed into to four layers 1st- the wheat 2nd- the detergent 3rd- white layer (dna) 4th- alcohol *
Do autosomal dominant disorders skip generations?no, they can but its not likely
Could Greg or his mother be carriers of the gene that causes myotonic dystrophy? no, because his mother is over 50 and there is no signs of her having myotonic dystrophy
Is there a possibility that Greg’s aunt or uncle is homozygous for the myotonic dystrophy (MD) gene? yes, because one of his aunt and uncles has this disease
Symptoms of myotonic dystrophy sometimes don’t show up until after age fifty. What is the possibility that Greg’s cousin has inherited the MD gene?50/50 because the mother has it
What is the possibility that Greg and Olga’s children could inherit the MD gene? no chance because neither of the parents have it.
