 * =//**A blank plunnett square looks like a window pane.**//=
 * =//**When given enough info about two parent organisms, we can use the punnett square to predict the genotype & phenotypes of their offspring.**//=
 * =//**Genotype - the genes of an organism**//=
 * =//**Phenotype - the physical appearance of a trait in an organism**//=
 * 1) =//**Determine the genotypes of the parent organisms.**//=
 * 2) =//**Write down your "cross" (mating).**//=
 * 3) =//**Draw a Punnett Square.**//=
 * 4) =//**"Split" the letters of the genotype for each parent & put them "outside" the Punnett Square.**//=
 * 5) =//**Determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the Punnett Square.**//=
 * 6) =//**Summarize results (genotypes & phenotypes of offspring.)**//=
 * 7) =//**Bask in the glow of your accomplishments!!**//=

Step 4: "Split" the letters of the genotype for each parent & put them "outside" the p-square.

 * ==Take the genotype letters of one parent, split them and put them on the left, outside the rows of the p-square.==

==During my spring break I played basketball and football with my cousins from Sylcauga. Then I went to the carnival on both Mondays and Saturdays. I had a lot of fun. Then I help my dad out with some work around the house. Also, I finally saw my two sister that I havn't seen in like 2 years. So I think I had a wonderful spring break.==

 * ==DNA (Deoxyribonuclei Acid)==
 * Genes - units of genetic material that CODES FOR A SPECIFIC TRAIT
 * Called - NUCLEIC ACIDS
 * DNA is made up of repeating molecules called NUCLEOTIDES
 * DNA Nucleotide is made up of 3 parts
 * Phostate group, sugar (deoxyribose), and Nitrogenous

Diversity: Differences

The code of life.
 * The code of chromosome is the specific order that bosses occur.
 * DNA is rapped tightly around his tones and coiled tightly to form chromosomes.

DNA Replication A-T, G-C DNA Replication Why is the Replication necessary. Your not going to be able to make new cells, Also, So both new cells can have the same DNA. When does replication occur? During Inter phase ( S Phase)
 * DNA must be copied.
 * DNA Molecules produces 2 new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing
 * Each strand of the original DNA serves as a template for new strand.
 * Semi Conservation Model:
 * 1) Two strands of the parental Molecule Separate.

DNA is the template for Protein.

Nucleotides: A triplet of Codon

Amino Acids: are the building blocks of protein.

You get RNA from DNA
