Here's how to post your questions, in case you want to know more some aspect of biology that we cover in class:
1. Scroll down to the end of this post. Towards the bottom right, click the link that shows the number of Comments.
2. In the text box under the heading "Leave your comment," type an *appropriate* question you're wondering about, which has to do with Biology.
3. In the text box under the heading "Word verification," type the scrambled letters EXACTLY as they appear.
4. Under the orange heading "Choose an identity," click the last option which says "Anonymous."
5. Click the orange button that says "Publish your comment."
I will respond to all questions each Friday in class and here in the Blog-O'-Questions.
Good luck!

Where do seedless watermelons come from?
How does DNA testing work?
Great question, Brittany!
Seedless watermelons are a hybrid of 2 different varieties of watermelon plants. When they are crossed, the process of meiosis is changed in a way that makes the offspring's seeds "wacky".
Basically, the seeds of the new plant are so small that people don't notice them (and too small to sprout a new watermelon plant)
DNA testing is a very complicated topic that we may delve into next week, and beyond.
Stay tuned in class to find out!
Check out this site on the different types of DNA testing (highlight/copy the URL into your address bar):

why do we look like both of our parents? could we look like one parent more then another?
How does A C T G the bases of DNA help us figure out genetics??
Why is there so many codes?
Why cant it just be simple?
