Unit 5 Reflection

In this unit we talked about DNA and RNA. We learned the differences between DNA and RNA. WE learned that RNA can be a substitute for DNA and the RNA will move on somewhere else. There are three types of RNA: messenger RNA, transfer RNA and ribosome RNA. WE learned all of these function and their roles. We also were thought about genes and gene regulation and gene expression. We also were thought how DNA can be altered causing a mutation which was formed by a mutagen which is anything that causes a mutation. In this unit I had many successes and setbacks and many strengths and weaknesses. My strengths were knowing mutations and also DNA and messenger, transfer, and ribosome RNA. For mutation we had three main mutations: Deletion, insertion, and substitution. Deletion is taking away a part of the DNA while insertion is adding part , but substitution is replacing it with another. Some of my downs however included DNA replication and transcription and translation. I believe that as a student I am growing and accomplishing more than ever. I believe that I am a better student than yesterday or a week ago and so on. I believe i am doing better because I am starting to apply myself. I feel like the only thing that was holding me back is myself. I am Holding myself back by no applying myself to do what i can fully accomplish. After I took the Vark Questionnaire I used that information and used in my study's and used part id it in my cheat sheet and study guides. From doing the questionnaire I did some visual techniques and used it in my srtudy guide and cheat sheet. When I used that technique it really helped me to realize where it is and what it looks like and on a test it it shows a diagram I can be like oh ya, I know that it was on my study guide.
