DNA
What is DNA?
Define evolution
It is how genes change over the years.
When I drive the bus. Two people get on the first stop. Three people get on in the second. Two people get down in the third. Seven people get on the fourth, and half of the passengers get down in the last stop. Who is driving the bus?
Who?
What are genes?
Genes are something that you can transfer to your kids.
They are the traits that you can inherit.
Describe what an ecosystem is to a 5 year old.

What is one evidence of evolution?
Fossils, DNA, human bones.
Green? I don't know.
Points go to the group with the least points. Why? Because this is a game show.
What is genetic engineering?
Provide an example.
Genetic engineering is when we change the genes of a living being.
Why is the ecosystem important? Why do we bother studying it?
The food chain is part of the ecosystem. If the food chain is broken, all animals in that ecosystem can die.
TRUE OR FALSE:
If Mr. Estrada's wife gives birth to a blonde, tall, white, and blue eyed baby. That is not Mr. Estrada's baby.
:(
FLASE: If Mr. Estrada and his wife had relatives with these traits, the baby can inherit them as well.
(Mr. Estrada will still do a test)
Provide and example
Natural selection is when they weak die and the strong survive.
What came first. The egg or the chicken?
Mr. Estrada thinks the chicken.
An animal evolved to a chicken, than laid an egg.
How are genes and evolution linked?
Evolution is the process of how genes change over time.
Genes change over millions of years that is how we know evolution exists.
If all tigers, and lions die in an ecosystem. Is that good for your bois the zebras?
No.
Without predators, the zebra's population would sky rocket. Soon they will run out of food.
Fill in the blank:
(blank) benefited from the discovery of DNA. It made their job easier, and did not have to rely and false information.
COPS
What was the first every living animal (not a cell) that every lived in the earth?
Worm
What color are Mr. Estrada's socks? No peaking!
Answer is!
What would happen if all of genes were to disappear?
(I know you die but why?)
Genes live in your DNA. So if you were to have no DNA, you would die due to diseases.
Your immune system needs DNA to reproduce.
Are humans good for the ecosystem?
A lot of people say nay.
Some people don't believe that we affect other species.
So for today we will leave it as an opinion.
How can you know the amino acids of DNA?
By translating DNA to RNA, and using the amino acid table.
The father of evolution
Charles Darwin
Pick a person to say this.
Tres tristes tigeres tragaban trigo en un trigal.
You could of picked any person from the room. Including Mr. Estrada
How does radiation affect genes?
Not like hulk, or X-Men. (hopefully)
What animal is said to contribute the most in an ecosystem.
The bee.
