The reflection should be at least 3 sentences long. Using one of the sentence starters below:
The information in the genetics unit I best understood was...and the topic that was most challenging for me to understand was...
A strategy I could use to determine the factors that influence plant growth is...
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is...because...
The topic that I best understood in the genetics unit was the concept of dominant and recessive traits. I found it easy to grasp the idea that dominant traits are expressed and can override recessive traits. However, the topic that was most challenging for me to understand was the concept of genetic mutations. I struggled to fully comprehend how mutations occur and how they can impact an organism's traits.
A strategy I could use to determine the factors that influence plant growth is conducting a controlled experiment. By manipulating different variables such as water, light, and soil nutrients, I can observe how each factor affects plant growth. This would allow me to identify which factors are essential for optimal plant growth and understand their influence.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is genetic engineering because it fascinates me how scientists can manipulate an organism's genes to improve desired traits. I would like to delve deeper into the ethical considerations surrounding genetic engineering and explore its potential applications in various fields, such as agriculture and medicine.
