    Mariella Hines is a 9 year-old African-American girl attending the 3rd grade in the JFK School.

Mariella’s teacher, Mrs. Levine, called Mariella’s mother to find out more information, but her mother said that Mariella seems fine at home.…

    6. Briefly describe the two meiotic events that contribute to genetic diversity in a population. Each gamete (sex cell) is unique due to a process during meiosis called cross-over which (simplified) swaps around some genes to create unique chromosome combinations. meiosis helps to create a population that is not only physically and genetically different but also one, which is perfectly fit to survive.…

    Yes there was a change because with the starting snail population there was a great variation from 1-7. After the crab began eating only the snails with the thickest shells survived. The snails with the thinnest shells were eaten by the crab. Only snails with shell thickness 4-7 were left after the crab had their meal. The original snails with thickness 1-3 were eliminated from the population by the crab. The crab will usually try to expend as little enrgy as it can to maximaize its happiness so the snails with thinner shells will likely be targeted first and eventually eliminated.…

    Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine, the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through the movement of calcium ions, the muscle action potential is taken into actual muscle contraction with the interaction of two types of proteins, actin and myosin.…

    I think that free earlobes is the dominant trait (Because none of the 20 people I surveyed had attached earlobes). I think that no hair on knuckles is the dominant trait (Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I think that straight hair line is the dominant trait ( Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I don't know whether straight hair or curly hair is the dominant trait (Because it was an even split). I think that no cleft chin is the dominant trait (Because 90% of the people I surveyed had it). I don't seem to exhibit any of the recessive traits shown here. I shared the same chin shape, earlobes and amount of hair on knuckles. I didn't exhibit any trait that was not exhibited in my parents. If an offspring exhibited a recessive trait that neither parent exhibited, it would mean that both parents carried it. I was surprised that none of the 20 people had attatched earlobes. Yes, It is possible that a recessive trait…
