Directional: process when a trait becomes more common within a population
Stabilizing:  process where heterozygotes arew used instead of homozygotes,to maintain a genetic           stabilty
Disruptive: a change in the populations genetics, caused by extreme phenotypes

Blog #3 Explain what microevolution is? What are the three ways that variation occurs?

Microevolution is evolution resulting from small specific genetic changes that can lead to a new subspecies. It is used to refer to any evolutionary change at or above the level of species. The three way that variation occurs are my having sex, mutation, and crossing over.

Blog # 2 Why is fossil record hard to interpret?

i think that fossil records are hard to interpret because fossil could be very fragile.... and not only that but it could also be damaged through out the years which could make it harder for us to interpret them. It really depends it what kind of condition that the fossils are in. When recording the fossils.... it could get mixed up easily... and measurements can mess up the records. Most fossils look very similar to each other and for some regular people you might that think it is the exact one from before so they will just say its from the same time as the other fossils. But in reality it could have slight differences in them so ... they have to be really careful when trying to record these fossils.... cause any wrong move can mess up the fossil records.

Blog #1: Why is evolution a theory and not a law?

The reason why evolution is a theory is because it cant really be proven... its just something that we think is reasonable.... because its the reasonable guess  that scientists make because they have facts and so on. There really arent any facts for evolution because no one can really go back in time and see how everything was created... also i think that if it was a law it would cause a lot of controversy because peoples religions say certain things.. for example that God created two people and they started the human race..... and etc.... so i think if evolution was considered a law, it would ruin what people believe in. Anyway evolution will always be a theory, because it simply cnat be proven.

Blog #11 Choosing Traits

i dont think that parents should be choosing the traits that there kids should have... because to me its just wrong in so many ways.. this could be a great conflict.... especially between religions..... god made us a certain way... and its not our decision to determine the traits that people should have.. maybe the traits that they choose could ruin that persons life .. even though they are trying to give them the best for there kids... there kids could suffer form the choices that their parents make.... like in the movie they suffered because.... one of them couldnt have the job that they wanted because of the certain genes they had. that is unfair.. and in some way it could happen.. but it shouldnt be allowed because of the conflict....

Blog #10 Fermentation

Fermentation can be used to make some types of foods... for example we used fermentation to make kim chi.... we got cabbage... pieces of chilli peppers.. and after that we keep smashing it all together and it started to produce some kind of fluid... so after a week or two of the kim chi fermentating... it was finished.   Fermentaition is very important for making types of foods .. it helps with keeping the food fresh for a very long time.... like it could still be good after a couple of days or weeks.... which is a good thing.. because food would last a longer time and it wouldnt go to waste.

Blog #8 Biocontainment Facility

Well if you are entering a biocontainment facility.... you must clean your body with this special soap.... then you put on the suit .. after you wash the suit.... oh and before that you must put on layers and layers of clothes on... just in case of something does happen you dont have to worry too much... you put on gloves... and a helmet.... you continue to to this and you have to keep making sure that nothing goes wrong with the suit because if so then you most likely will die of which ever disease you are working with.
