__ March 12th, 2012 __ Genetics Notes:

 * ==2 Alleles can be in one gene.==
 * ==Genotype is the combination fo the alleles in one gene.==
 * ==rr: Is ressive trait that can be seen without a dominant trait to over power it.(Homozygous)==
 * ==RR: Is dominant trait that can be seen. (Homozygous)==
 * ==Rr: Is a dominant traits that over powers the ressive trait making the ressive trait non-visable. (Heterzygous)==

Sumarrized Steps:
==The first step is how you determine genotypes of the parent organisms. The second step is how start writing the letters down. The third step is about how you compeletly draw the square. You have to divide the letters of the genotype. So that means if you have Tt and tt you have to put it in the box like that. Meaning on the left side of the box you will have Tt going down making the both letters have a sqaure and doing the same with tt on the top of the square. Next on step five you have to fill in the box like adding the letters together. So if you continue with same box as before you withh get in the top left corner you should have Tt because you have a T and a T crossing then you go on from their until you have all the possible genotypes.Next you have to summary what you have found and what hte changes of the letters are that the offspring will get either a TT or tt or even a Tt. These are the steps of the P-Square.

==Predict why you think your last name is in each of these locations. (Answer) I think that my last name is in each of these areas because most of of my family either lives in Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, or Texas. I am not really sure why my last name would be in Washington but it makes sense that they are in the other places. ==

How does migration patterns have anything to do with genetics?

What is it used for? It was used for immigrants entering the United States.
==Why is it located where it is? Ellis Island is located in New York City, shadowing the Statue of Liberty. I think that Ellis Island is located there because there is water where boats can drop off passengers and load passengers to take them where they need to go. Ellis Island is located perfectly from the Statue of Liberty, meaning more people have an tourist atraction. ==

When did it receive the most immigrants? From 1892-1954 over tweleve million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island
==Do you think/know if any of your ancestors traveled through Ellis Island? I think that some of my ancestors could have possibly traveled through Ellis Island. I think that some of my ancestors could have traveled on a boat and went to Ellis Island because they were immigrants but because their economy was so bad they need somewhere else to live. ==

__America: Pull Factor:__

 * == Having money to support their country ==
 * == Giving freedom to cizitens ==
 * == Economy was extremely good. ==

__Other Countries: Push Factor:__

 * == Didn't have enough money to support the entire country ==
 * == No freedom to do want they want. ==
 * == Very bad economy ==

= __April 2, 2012 Spring Break:__ =

Over spring break I went camping with my family at Grist Mill. I camped there for three days and then we went home. The night that I got home I went to my aunt's house for the rest of spring break. At Grist Mill I didn't get to do anything because I do not like fishing and that is mainly what my parnets wanted to do. When I went to my aunt's house we went out to eat and watched movies, because I was sick and didn't feel like doing anything. The next morning we went yard saleing until about 12. Then we went and took my cousin to work and got something to eat. After that we went back to my aunt's house and the next day I went home and played Wii with my grandma.
