D.N.A

Hey guy I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about D.N.A. Without these we wouldn't be here. lets begin.


DNA is basicly a blue print to everything it the world.  DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the genetic material of all organisms. It is made up of two twisted strands of sugar-phosphate molecules and nitrogen bases. It help us grow and function.

Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA is two chains of molecules in spiral form. James Watson and Francis Crick made a model of a DNA molecule.

DNA looks like a twisted later. The sides of the ladder are made up of sugar-phosphate molecules. The four kinds of nitrogen bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and
thymine. The amount of cytosine is equal to the amount of guanine and the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine. So, Cytosine is always paired with guanine and adenine is always paired with thymine.

Before mitosis the chromosomes are duplicated and the amount of DNA
in the nucleus is doubled. The two sides of DNA unwind
and separate. Each side then becomes a pattern on
which a new side forms. The new DNA has bases that are
identical to those of the original DNA and are in the same
order.

A sample of a suspect’s DNA can be compared to evidence from the crime scene to help determine if the suspect is guilty. If there isn’t a suspect, evidence from
the crime scene can be compared to a general database of criminals the police may maintain. Crime scene evidence can also be compared to other crime scene DNA information the police may have on file to link two crimes
together.

Mitosis

Hey guys im back with another blog post and today we will be talking about. Mitosis a way a cell can reproduce. Without it we would be dead. lets Go











There are sic phases to this prosses. Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, telophase and cytokines. In the Inter phase the chromosome in the cell are dubled and stat to appear as threadlike coils (chromotion).  The chromosomes and there copie change to sister chromatids at the end of this phase. The next  phase is the prophase. In this phase mitosis begins which means the cell are starting to divide. Centrioles appear and the start moving to opsite ends of the cell. Spinder appear between the centrios.




The third stage is metaphase. In this stage the chromatide attach to the spindal fiber. In the anaphase the chromatide seperate and start to appear as chromatin. In telophase two brand new nuclei form. The chromosomes apear as chromatin rather than rods. At the end of this phase mitosis in. In cytophase the cell membrain moves inward to creat to new cells, each with its own nuclei that have the exact same chromosomes. Well thats all for now bye

Man Smuggles 40,000 Piranhas

Hey guy I am back with another blog post and today I will be talking about a man smuggling about 4000 piranhas into New York City. Piranhas are aggressive territorial fish that live in fresh water and have razor sharp teeth. They live in South America. There are about 20 known species and the fish are illegal or restricted in 25 states in the U.S.A. because of the danger they can pose to people.








A man in New York pleaded guilty for the smuggling of 39,548 Piranhas. The man was forced to pay $70,000 in fines and restitution. His company was also put on probation for two years. New York did not allow these fish in because of how dangerous they are and how they can hurt the wildlife, including humans.

My Thoughts
I think that the man paying a fine was a good thing. I thought that he should not have taken these animals from their home and therefor he should be punished.

Viruses

PS: I like luigi

Hey guy I'm back with another blog post and today we will be talking about the viruses. You might already know some stuff about viruses but now I am going to tell you what you don't know.







even Mario fights viruses
#Dr. Mario

First off a Virus is "an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host." Viruses can get inside your body and make you sick. A virus cannot move, is not alive, cant breath, cant eat and cant drink water. When a virus gets inside your body it can do two thing A: can find its host cell and start multiplying or B: it can stay there and do no harm which are called latent viruses. Some illnesses include chicken pox, the common cold and the flu.

 

 

Now that you know that viruses ain't that good but now I will tell you are one weapon. Vaccines are the reason we are able to survive the virus. Vaccines are made using week created viruses that will go into your body so you imunsistem can kill them and be ready for the real thing.






The last thing I will be talking about is a man named Dr. Edward Jenner's. This man saved peoples life's by making the vaccine which is still used today. When he said he found a cure the other doctors lafed at him, but when he proved he was correct he was loved by the other doctors.

The Other Side of BACTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look into your soul.

He guys I am back with another blog post and today I will be talking about Bacteria. :) Now there are some good parts to bacteria like the fact we would not be here without them. Lets go
















Bacteria is good for many different ways like, Being the first life on earth, making food good and ever helping our body function. Some are bad tho very very bad. So people where like we need to stop this and invented the antibiotics. dundundahhh. These kill bacteria but there is a catch. People have been using less because the bacteria has been able to adapt to the antibiotics. Now you cant use Antibiotics without a doctors description. Bad bacteria can cause diseases like Streptococcus pneumoniae: which infects the lungs causing  pneumonia and is spread by coughing. Another is Gnorrhea:This disease is a sexually-transmitted disease and is caused by a bacterium of this type. One symptom is a pussy discharge from the genital area. As you can see you want to fight bacteria at all cost but not all bacteria is bad. So are on the light side of the force. In fact more than me than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by them. This is caused by nitrogen-fixing bacteria.






Now I shall tell you what is bacteria. First of all the way that bacteria reproduce is by using fission which is breaking into to bacteria exactly the same as the first :(). This processes if called asexually and the other is sexually which is when there are two. Some bacteria need to get there food wile other can make there own by using photosynthesise.

Bacteria

Hey guys I am back with another helpful blog post and today we will be talking about the wonderful Monera kingdom. This kingdom is so important and is also bad. Lets begin.








Now the main part of the Monera kingdom is bacteria. Everything that you will find in this kingdom is bacteria. Bacteria can be found even in the harshes envierment over the world. Some bacteria must make there own food while others go out and get the food. Bacteria use a prosices called fission Which is how the reproduce. One split into two and those two will be exactly the same as the first one. Another way they reproduce is with a partner. The way that bacteria moves is with a flagela or cillia

The worlds largest pig

Oink Oink, Hey guys I am back with another current event and today we will be doing the worlds largest pig because I like piggies. lets Begin.









The worlds largest pig is the forest hog. These pigs live across central Africa. This GIANT pig ways 600 pounds! This pig is so large that people almost ate them to death. I don't blame them I like bacon, but I do feel bad for them. These pigs where hunted in til they where endangered :(. It is now illegal to hunt these pigs. There are now conservation that will protect these pigs.














I feel bad that the pigs are endangered and I want people to help save them. I feel good that there are people who do just that in the conservation camps. I also feel bad that I want to eat one. Ok see you all next time.
