Natural Selection and Selective Breeding

Natural Selection is allowing the natural environment to select traits.   Natural selection happens for in wild animals such as deer, moose, wolves,and coyotes.

Artificial Selection is when select animals with more desirable traits to breed together.  Artificial selection is used with animals that we want  to have a desired trait such as more milk production in dairy cows or more lean meat on beef cows.

Fast Plants

The stems look more purple in color as they grow.
The leaves seem to be more heart shaped.
One plant is growing much faster than the other two.
After this picture our plants began to get small yellow flowers.

Traits

Traits such dimples, bent pinkies and detached earlobes are more equally distributed in the class.  While traits such as rolling of the tongue, having a widows peak, hairy knuckles and short big toes have large differences between those with and without the trait.

Baby Mice

We believe there were more black mice because black is a dominant trait and white is not.
