Peppered moths were once always a light color so they blended in with their surroundings. Then one day the forest was poluted and the peppered moths changed colors. They went from a light color to a dark, almost black color. Scientists have been trying to find out why they changed the color all of a sudden. SO a scientist had a bunch of dark moths and a bunch of light moths. He released some of thee dark and light ones in the light non polluted forest then He let some dark ones and some light ones into the dark polluted forest.

His results were that in the dark forest more dark  moths survived than light moths. This is because birds would most likely find and go after the easy to see moths than the well camouflaged moths. He had the same result in the light forest, he started to think that pollution was the reason the moths changed color. They must have evolved to fit with their environment, to survive. Before the pollution black peppered moths were very rare to find in the light forest, so the pollution had to be the problem. It didn't stop and more moths were getting darker. The light moths lived closer to the country side, and the dark moths lived closer to the cities where there is pollution and they will blend. Once in a while you will see a dark moth in a light forest or a light moth in a dark forest. You have to think positive about the situation, if there was no pollution then the world wouldn't have a rare black peppered moth. Even though there is pollution maybe a new breed will appear and amaze the world like the dark peppered moths did.

Our homework was to go on google and find out how to make the genetic jewelry. I think in a previous blog, I wrote about how to make it, but I guess I'll do it again. So the first step is to get a piece of wire and different colored beads. If you want it accurate then you will need red, green, blue, yellow, gold, and white. Get as many because I forgot how many you need. First put the white in on one side and white on the other. Then you put yellow on the one side and yellow on the other. Then you put blue and gold on one side and red and green on one side. 

Once you do this, you have to take one wire and put it through the other side but not through the yellow. Then you keep on doing that, but with opposite colors from the other side and then you finally stop. Then you put it through all the yellows on the side and you create a hook or kind of loop to hang on your ear or a tree.

Limited resources would definitely create competition between animals because they need resources to survive. Let's say that the population is growing between a species and they don't have as much resources, this could lead to fighting over food water or land. Then there would be accidents and the population would go down. This works for the humans as well, if there are more people being born than there are dying then the population would grow and then we would be under attack with each other. There would be fights and deaths, and then the population would go down as well. 

All these things happen when the resources are being limited or the population of a species is growing to fast. Then there would over all conflict. The most important one is limited resources, if we keep on taking away the habitats or food water of animals then they will go extinct or will be on the endangered species list. Also if the government keeps on hiring prices for products then people will go homeless and then they would die of starvation or dehydration. Then America will become under conflict and maybe the world would become under conflict. Anyway these are some factors that would lead to competition.

One day in science class we had to make a family out of paper, it was known as the paper pet family. It was supposed to be our pet with a family. It was a blob with its phenotype and its genotype. You have to flip a coin to see what kind of teeth or eye shape, color you would get. Then you had to pair up with someone who has the opposite gender of your pet nd make kids. The kids were the hardest because every pair had to have six kids, and we didn't know what color they would be.

After we wrote down their genotype, and we finished flipping coins, we had to work on their phenotype. The phenotype was the easiest because all we had to do was make the gender sign on top of their head and make the shape of their eyes or teeth. But I was going so fast that I accidentally drew the wrong phenotype for the kids and I had to redo them. Well I wasn't told to but I caught my mistake and fixed it on my own. It was fun because we had to cut them out and then we had to name them. Then when we finished we had to get a white piece of paper and Tape them on the paper. In the end they all ended up to be all blue because I had BB which was dominant for blue.
