Do you remember all the tasks that you had learned in Biology classes? We...SI

We began the subject learning about Plate Tectonics:

How many types of plates do you learned?

Boundaries of Construction, Boundaries of Destruction and Passive Boundaries! How quickly you forget all! ;)

And what Rifting means? “How a new sea floor, mid-ocean ridge and ocean are formed”.

And the Earth structure?

And when two plates met... what happen? Ocean-Ocean; Continent-Ocean; Continent-Continent.

And “Did you know that the  10% of all active volcanoes is located in Japan?”

And what about the Earthquakes?

 “A Sismic wave is the way by which the energy in Earthquakes is released, two types: Superficial waves and Internal: P and S waves.”

But HEY! We learned history too:

We talked about BIOQUEMISTRY:

–                    Functional Groups

–                    Carbohydrates

–                    Fatty Acids

–                    Lipids

–                    Amino Acids and Proteins

–                    Nucleotide Structure

And off course, we learned GENETIC. And our teacher our teacher got us to learn more of what Darwin and Lanmmark ever knew.

And... What is the different between MEIOSE and MITOSE?

And talking about GENETICS we learned:

.Transmission of genetic information from

generation to generation.

Genetic terminology.

• Simple genetic crosses involving a single trait.
• • Determination of sex.
• The difference between probability and certainty.
• The work of Gregor Mendel.
• Mendel's Laws.
• Genetic crosses involving two traits.
• Distinguish between sexual and asexual reproduction.
• Predict the possible outcomes of simple genetic crosses.
• Illustrate genetic inheritance.
• Distinguish between probability and certainty.

What is a MUTATION?

A mutation is a spontaneous change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations are random events that affect individual genes or entire chromosomes.

The theories of the evolution.

Jean Baptiste de Lamarck (1744-1829) He considered that species were not fixed but that they proceeded one from another through transformation, in a process in which the changes of the organisms originated as adaptative responses to changes in their environment.

The Darwin-Wallace Theory.  a paper was read in London which summarized the conclusions of the

work that Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace had developed separately. This paper explained a theory of the origin of

species based on the natural selection of variations brought about random. In his book he explained his theory with numerous natural observations made by himself and other naturalists (variation, heredity and selection).

And then to finish the EVOLUTION we discussed about the changes in species along the time with changes in their environment; and our common ancestor.

And remember that Fernando tried to explain us WHAT IS LIFE? But... anyone knowed it...

But men... LIFE IS LIFE!
