The student's objective was to complete a karyotype lab by cutting out paper chromosomes and arranging them on a sheet. However, the student did not finish the lab. The method described cutting chromosomes perfectly and placing them where they fit. The data section listed different karyotype notations like 46, XX for a normal female. In the analysis, the student discussed that a missing chromosome can cause diseases like Down syndrome. The conclusion explained that a missing chromosome deep in the body can lead to conditions and computers now help with virtual karyotyping.

According to Maori tradition, Rangi and Papa (Heaven and Earth) were the original ancestors of all humans. They clung closely together in the beginning, leaving the world in darkness. Rangi and Papa had six sons - Tane-mahuta (father of the forest), Tawhiri-ma-tea (father of winds and storms), Tangoroa (father of fish and reptiles), Tu-matauenga (father of fierce humans), Haumia-tikitiki (father of uncultivated food), and Rongo-ma-tane (father of cultivated food). After a battle between the sons, Tu-matauenga ate four of his brothers but spared
The Maori creation story tells of Rangi and Papa, who represent heaven and earth. They were originally locked in a tight embrace, leaving their children in constant darkness. Their six sons - Tane Mahuta, Tawhiri Ma-tea, Tangaroa, Tu-matauenga, Haumia-tikitiki, and Rongo-ma-tane - lived in darkness for a long time, unable to experience light and vision.
The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, a large island located in the South Pacific Ocean near Australia. Some Maori continue traditional cultural practices like the haka war dance, which is now performed for ceremonial rather than war purposes, and ta moko tattooing. However, many Maori struggle with issues like poverty, alcoholism, and drug abuse that are common among indigenous groups who have been conquered. Traditional Maori culture includes practices like distinctive facial tattoos and ceremonial dances, but modern influences have changed Maori society over time.
Colonizers often oppress, enslave, or kill the indigenous people when arriving in a new land, as seen historically with European colonization of Latin America, Canada, and Brazil where they far more people than any other group. However, European countries were not the only colonizers, as Indonesia colonized West Papua and Papua New Guinea, while China colonized Tibet and Russia attempted to colonize Afghanistan.
The Maori creation story tells of Rangi (Heaven) and Papa (Earth) who were originally joined together, keeping the world in darkness. They had six sons: Tane-mahuta (forests), Tawhiri-ma-tea (winds), Tangaroa (sea life), Tu-matauenga (humans), Haumia-tikitiki (uncultivated food), and Rongo-ma-tane (cultivated food). After a long time in darkness, the sons pushed Rangi and Papa apart, separating heaven and earth and bringing light to the world. In the process, Tu-matauenga ate four of his brothers but spared
Fumeripits was the first being to exist on earth according to Asmat tradition. He created the first ceremonial house called jeu and carved human figures out of trees to place inside, but was unhappy that they did not come to life. So Fumeripits created a drum by hollowing out a tree and stretching lizard skin over it. When he began playing the drum, the carved figures miraculously came to life and began dancing. This is how Fumeripits brought the first people, the Asmat, to life from trees according to the tradition.
1) Students will play a game where they use different utensils (spoon, spork, fork) as bird beaks to pick up colored beans representing insects.
2) They will test which utensil can gather the most insects. This models how bird beak adaptations lead to more or less success in finding food.
3) The activity aims to demonstrate how environmental pressures and natural selection can drive evolutionary changes in a species over multiple generations as less adapted traits die out.

This document lists the topics that have been covered so far in class: Cell Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Physiology, and Ecology. It asks what has been studied until now and provides a bulleted list of the major subject areas covered.
European countries colonized other lands in the 1500s due to dwindling natural resources and overpopulation at home. The colonization of the Americas by European powers like England, France, Portugal and Spain opened up new lands and opportunities, but it also led to the bloodiest and most horrific period in human history for indigenous peoples. The genocide of native Americans and the importation of African slaves to work on plantations, especially after native populations were decimated by disease and slavery, represented an immense human tragedy and loss of life and culture.
Colonization involves one group taking over another's land, often through oppression, enslavement, and killing of indigenous peoples. Historically, Europeans and Americans were large colonizers, oppressing and killing many native populations. While other non-European countries also engaged in colonization, the English colonization of what is now the United States primarily involved stealing land and importing women, as African slaves were brought instead of indigenous people.
Genetics in biology refers to the study of genes and heredity. Genetics can be used to study human inheritance by analyzing genes and DNA that are passed down from parents to offspring. The document shows an image of human chromosomes with 22 pairs of chromosomes of varying sizes, numbers labeled on the bottom, and different colors, suggesting it is an example of how genetics can be used to study human inheritance through analyzing chromosomal makeup.
The central dogma of molecular biology describes how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein. DNA contains the genetic code which is transcribed into RNA. The RNA then translates the genetic code into proteins by following the sequence of bases in the DNA. While information normally flows from DNA to RNA to protein, some retroviruses can reverse this flow of genetic information from RNA back to DNA.

DNA stores genetic information and can be transmitted and copied down from one generation to the next. It contains the instructions that make each species unique and allows characteristics to be passed down from parents to offspring. DNA is found in almost all living organisms, including humans, and is the molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.
This document is a warm up quiz on basic biology concepts. It contains 4 multiple choice questions that assess knowledge of where DNA is located in different cell types, the main enzyme involved in linking nucleotides to form DNA, and identifies the process shown in a diagram as DNA replication.
The document describes a lab procedure to extract DNA from strawberry cells. The objective is to understand how DNA is contained in cells and extract it. Materials include tubes, bags, sticks, filters and ethanol. The method involves mashing strawberries in a bag, filtering the liquid, adding ethanol to precipitate DNA strands, and collecting the DNA. Data on DNA weights would be recorded. Analysis questions address differences between cell types, DNA structure/function, and how mashing/detergent disrupt cells. The conclusion discusses how extraction from animal vs plant vs bacterial cells may differ and potential uses for extracted DNA.
According to Asmat tradition, Fumeripits was the first being on earth who created the first ceremonial house called a jeu. Growing tired of being alone, he carved human figures from trees and placed them in the jeu, but they did not come to life. Fumeripits then created a drum from a hollowed tree with lizard skin and, when he played it, the wooden figures came to life and began dancing - thus creating the first people of Asmat from trees.
