In this Unit we learned about Biotechnology. Biotechnology is a very complex science that has been going on for centurys. It hasn't just started in the 21stcentury. Biotechnolgy includes genetic engineering which is a procces of cutting and pasting DNA strand strands together and recombining. We also learnedabout gel electrophoresis and pGLO. We learned about how biotechnology is how we we made cuires for diseases and sicknesses. WE learned about the technologies to Biotechnology and also bioethics and the explanation which also included recombinant DNA. In this unit my setbacks were that I my group wasn't very collaborative and I didn't really collaborate as much as I should have. But my successes out reach my setbacks. In this unit I did really well on my labs and blog posts and did all my cfus and got full credit on my vodcasts. In this Unit I have really done my part and gogt to know more information. I truly believe I focused more in class aswell.
In class we did two different kinds of labs.The fist on was a gel electrophoresis lab where we used electricity currents and candy dye. While the other lab is called a pGLO lab which was a two day process where we had bacteria and would use pGLO to see if it would glow green and the end. Because of these labs I learned moreabout the topic itself and learned more from it. Labs help me understand more because I'm doing myself and with others in erson up close.
I want to learn more about genetic engineering. there is really one think I don't quite get and that's recombining DNA. I wonder how genticengineering can help mankiinf and strive manking to greatness.
For my nw year goals. I followed them like planned and I payes attention more in class and wasn't talking as much and did my homework and didn't procrastinate.
