Week 7

      From this week, I learned about plant hormones which consist of ethylene, auxin, abscisic acid, cytokinins and gibberellins. We also had done a SCL activity that gives us a deep understanding about the plant hormones. We aso for our test 1 results back and I felt that I need to improve more to get more higher grades. The sad thing about this class is that this is dr.parames last class. I felt very proud for having a talented lecturer to lecture our class. I hope that that I could contribute more through the next class next week and cope with the new levturer and understand his teachings to improve my biocell course.

        During my journaling, it Improved my memory and problem-solving skills. When I describe an event or an idea in myr journal, I reinforce the memory of that event or idea. Just the physical act of writing about it, especially by pen rather than keyboard, creates connections in myr brain that consolidate and organize myr memories. As I write about issues that bother me, I learn to step back from a problem and see connections that may escape me in myr first rush of emotion.

      The next thing about my journal is that it improves my self-awareness of my stidies and I may get a better perspective on this week’s events.

The next thing about my journal is that it improves my self-awareness of my stidies and I may get a better perspective on this week’s events. Over time, you can observe patterns in your own thinking and behaviors; changes in my relationships with family and friends; and where interests, strengths, or even fears originate and grow.

      Fimally journaling helps me to Increase my motivation. Journaling allows me to create and maintain a dialogue with myself about my goals, what they are, how I’ll reach them, and my progress and challenges along the way. Articulating and tracking my goals in writing makes them real, increasing my motivation and personal accountability.

Week 2

      On the second week, we were asked wp watch a video called "Selection in Action" which was a video focusing about natural selection and artificial selection.       From the video, I concluded that Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. Variation exists within all populations of organisms. This occurs partly because random mutations arise in the genome of an individual organism, and offspring can inherit such mutations. Natural selection acts on the phenotype, or the observable characteristics of an organism, but the genetic (heritable) basis of any phenotype that gives a reproductive advantage may become more common in a population. Natural selection is one of the cornerstones of modern biology. The concept, published by Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in a joint presentation of papers...

Week 6

From this week, I learned about cell cycle. Through SCL activity, we studied that Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle  where chromosomes  in the nucleus  are evenly divided between two cells.  When the cell division process is complete, two daughter cells  with identical genetic material are produced.  Before a dividing  cell.  enters mitosis, it undergoes a period of growth called interphase. Then, it enters on the mitotic phase which is prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Then they reach the final process which is cytokinesis where diplood cells were formed. Then for the second day of class, we touched about totipotency of plant cell. Many somatic plant cells, including some fully differentiated types (e.g. leaf mesophyll), provided they contain intact nuclear, plastid and mitochondrial genomes, have the capacity to regenerate into whole plants. This phenomenon is  totipotency , an amazing developmental plasticity that sets ...

Week 3

      On the third week, we learned about the evolution of life and we analyzed the timeline from the birth of the planet untill the first cell formed on our planet. From here, I learned that the history of life on Earth began about 3.8 billion years ago, initially with single-celled prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria. The first known single-celled organisms appeared on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago, roughly a billion years after Earth formed.           More complex forms of life took longer to evolve, with the first multicellular animals not appearing until about 600 million years ago. For the next 1.3 billion years (3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago), the Archean Period, first life began to appear and the world's landmasses began to form. Earth's initial life forms were bacteria, which could survive in the highly toxic atmosphere that existed during this time.          The first living things on Earth, single-celled ...
