The Project
In this project, we investigated a murder case and determined the killer by learning the concepts of genetics; for example how genes are expressed and genetic diseases. After that we have to do a lab where modified a bacteria to have antibiotic resistance and glow under a UV light

The Murder Mystery
We were able to use the family histories to determine what disease each suspects had. To find out blood types, we mixed the blood with antibodies and observed which ones curdled in which antibodies. For DNA fingerprinting, we used gel electroscopes to separate the genetic material of each suspect into colored bands, then compared those with the samples found at the scene. To find the ink on the note with the owner of the pen, we let piece of paper set in a beaker of rubbing alcohol, this will separate the ink into its base colors. last but not least, we have to use a dusting brush to brush the fingerprint with pink powder in order to make it more visible.
Key Concepts:
Karyotype: A visual representation of a persons chromosomes.
Genetic Diseases: A disease caused by a mutation in a person's DNA.
Mutation: A change in the DNA.
Chromosome: A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
Complete Dominance: A type of trait where both phenotype are expressed.
Incomplete Dominance: A type of trait is where the trait is a hybrid of both dominant trait, and recessive trait are expressed.
Epigenetics: How are your genes are expressed.

Reflection
During this project I was able both working productively and counter productively because I was working with my team during the murder mystery project, and yelling at my team to do work during the pGlo Lab. based on this experience I was able to learn the skills of leadership because during the pGlo lab I have to lead my team to get the work done. also I was able to learn on how to present in front an audience with stuttering my voice. During the pGlo lab I must also learn on how be more empathetic because I was practically yelling them to do work. additionally I must continue to improve on my skills to present in front an audience.
