    According to the textbook, "behavioral geneticists study individuals of known genetic similarity" (Chapter 2, section 5, page 47). In this case, they study monozygotic twins and also study dizygotic. When it comes to monozygotic the textbook talks about how these type of types developed from the same zygote. Thus, making them similar genetically. However, when it comes to dizygotic twins they develop from two zygotes instead of one and often similar than any pair of siblings (Chapter 2, section 5

    In the school year of 2014-2015, the science class that I had taken was Honors IPS. My original teacher was Mrs. McCartney, however towards the end of the year she had a baby so our substitute was Mr. Gero. I signed up for Honors Biology because I wanted to take something more challenging for my mind, and also because I wanted to aim higher than just the standard class. Something that I excel at is art, more specifically drawing people. Art is my passion and I have been drawing people since I was

    analytical background. As our technological understanding and power increases, many of our biggest advances comes in using this quantitation to solve big data problems or to understand the details of the signaling mechanics and physical laws that dictate biology. The frontline of this development must come from doctors who understand both of the medical discipline so these new approaches can be applied to the human and natural systems. This is an immense task but it will be the next big revolution in science

    thousands of years ago. I learned that natural selection accounts for the rise in pesticide resistance among pests and gives rise to new technologies to protect crops from insects and diseases. Scientists today are applying lessons from evolutionary biology to our world. I was also able to learn many ways that scientists gather and analyze information, test hypotheses, and ultimately come to a consensus about explanations for certain events that have happened on our planet. To understand evolution is
