predicting trait summary

this topic is about how likly  the offprings going to be to now have to use a punett squere to now this have to take some traits of  the parents and have some probabilities . By the probability can be trace a pedigree , a pedigree is the history of the trits of a family .  in two parents one can be dominant and the other can be ressesive traits that traits can be appers in the  ofprings  the dominat traits is the physical  and the ressesive is in the genes .

learning about heredity summary

this topic is about genetic heredity is something that pass to one offpring to another this can be genotype and phenotype the genotype can be the DNA disease and phetype to physical characteristic .

there are to type of polination self pollination when the male part of the same fertilize the same flower and cross when the male part of a flower frtilze the female part of other flower .

geologic times summay

this topic is about geoly the geology is the study of the rocks a rock is a mixture of may minerals the first point is the layers the geology use the layer s to study the time that pass in this layer also can be found fossils.

Rock cycle summary

this topic is abput the rocks and minerals a mineral is a material with a define structure and coposition and a rock is a mixture of mineral . like many thing in the wrld that ha ve cycle alo the rocks have cycle and this never ends this have the name of rock cycle .

the rock begins with hot melted magma that cmes out by volcanic eruptions , the the rock becomes solid and made igneous rock . then by the proces of erosion the rock form new plates that is call sedimentary rock .the last step in the process is when the rock returns to the center of the earth and became magma again , this proces is licke too fast but ocurs in millions of years .

lift carry and drop summary

this topic is about the movement and change of the soil how the deposition takes place , the type of glacier ect what is mass wasting? is the first question you have to condidere , the mass wasting is the downhill movement of the earth material caused by gravity . That ocurs like in a downhill of a small mountain when the rain davilytate the soil and produce that it falls down that recive the name of lift .  the second point is deposition the deposition ocurrs in the mouth of a river the erosion produce that the sediment of the top of the river falls down by the movent of the water and the soil is acumulate in the mouth of the river al this 2 process is produce by the erosion . the thirth and last point in this topic is the glaciers . A glacier is a sheet of ice tha tmove so slowly over the land ,  there are 3 types of glaciers valley glacier contnental glaciers and narrowr glacier .

Building up and Breaking down summary

This topic is about the mountains we will going to leàrn about ,what is erosin and weatherig? the soil  and others interesant thing . there are 2 types of mountain fold mountain and fault block mountain , the fold mountain is made  mostly rock layers folded by squeezed together abd the fault block mountain are a mountain made by huge tilled.
