I chose to make this sculpture because, one It was really convenient with what I decided to use for the sculpture. As well as the fact that I think that it would look really cool once it is done. Also, I think that is says that I am going through the hardships that go along with having a broken arm as well as. My drive to make sure that it does not hinder me to much and that I will definitely make it through having a broken arm ok and stronger than I was before.
Quarter 4: Electric Art Project
The reason why I chose to do this sculpture is because I live on this planet. Even if it is full of annoying people, it is still where I live. It is still a place I live on and that I call home. Earth is a place where it provide everything I need. Oxygen, food, water, the Earth provides that. I had put the lights around the Earth because people don’t sometimes think of the Earth that much. Meaning that they should

I chose to make a yin and yang symbol to represent negative and positive emotions. Without negatives there can’t be positives and without positive there can’t be negatives. The yin and yang symbol shows this statement. This is one of the things I believe.

Fast Plant
Our F2 plants looked nothing like I nor my group mates predicted. The parent generation grew faster due to the fact that the F2 generation didn’t grow. We knew that there would be some possibilities as to why they didn't grow being not enough water, too much water, not enough sun light, too much sunlight, etc.
Genes have a greater indicator on how an organism will appear. Organisms look the way they do due to their parents genes. Organisms will receive half of their genes from their mother and the other half from their father. I wasn't very educate on plants but that they taken in Carbon Dioxide, and they go through photosynthesis, so basically knowing very little. I learned about how many factors affect plants in their growth, but like instead of just knowing that they are the factors, I learned why they are the factors.

When we first got this project I was excited to grow plants and take care of them. Then once I figured out we would also be doing two generations of plants, mixing between the types that got me even more pumped for this. Our first generation of plants did good. I think they took longer to grow then our second generation of plants. Our first generation of plants was ST & NP. I predicted that the next generation would be a mix of purple stem with green leaves or vice versa and that’s how they were. I would say that our plants being moved really hindered our plants’ ability to thrive. People kept moving our plants and this, at one point, lead to them dying and made us have to start over. Genetics will provide and organism with the genes they have which will then provide an organism with their phenotype. However, an organism's environment will determine whether it lives or does not. If there was no light for our plants, they would die. This is evident on when our plants were moved by others. Since other people moved our plants from under the light/from the water our plants died. This shows that the environment does matter for the growth of an organism. I think the thing that stood out to me the most during this project was the genetics portion. I think actually playing with the DNA and genetics of the plants was fun and interesting. We got to see how genetics work. That was the most interesting part of this project.

The F2 generation did not look how I predicted to look. I thought that they would grow much quicker and look so much better but in the end they grew very slow and not all of them even grew. The parent generation grew faster and more healthy. What hindered our plants to thrive was the fact that we didn't take as much care of them. We didn't water them as often as you wanted the parent generation so maybe that affected how they grew. Genetics is the greater indicator Because it has the genes of the parents which will be incorporated in the newer plant. During this course, learning about how plants make more plants really interests me.

Throughout the journey of growing our plants it always felt as though the plants were growing very fast over the time but in my opinion it felt like parent seeds grew faster within time and that’s probably because I paid more attention to them than the others but still. I think we could’ve taken better care of them and they would’ve been healthier than before. With this course the thing that stood out to me the most was the way the plants grew under that little light in the back. How fast the progressed over time was really amazing

The plants ended up being very different than our predictions. They didn't show much color but had grown and died faster than the F1 plants did. The one on the top is F1 and the one on the bottom is F2. Obviously F1 was able to thrive more than the F2 plants. I think the fact that we sometimes forgot about our plants that it lessened their ability to thrive where they were at. The genetics of the F1 plants is what gave the F2 plants their phenotype. The biggest indicator of how the plants were going to look at was to just remember how the F1 plants were crossbred and hope that we had completed the process correctly. The one thing that stood out to me throughout this whole process was how it was important to know how everything that's happening. Of course you have to know all of the steps, but I was shocked at how important it was to keep track of everything that had to be done and recorder every time we had the chance.

Did the F2 generation look like how you predicted them to look? It didn’t come out how I predicted they would’ve looked because they never grew.
Did the parent generation or the F2 generation grow faster? Yes the parent generation grew faster.
What might have hindered your plants' ability to thrive? I think the environment with them being so close to other plants may have hindered their growth.
How do genetics and the environment affect the phenotype of an organism? Genetics affect your base phenotype(default look) and the environment affects what it may look like based on what happens.
Which is a greater indicator of how an organism will look? I think in some cases genetics if the conditions are the same but if a mishap were to occur then the environment is most likely at fault.
A summary of what stood out to you during this course and why.
Over the course of this project we grew plants. We checked out the phenotype and genotype of each plant to see how well those plants would grow. I think overall I enjoyed seeing the growth of other group’s plants. I think this was outstanding how their plants were able to thrive and ours weren’t. With this happening it brought up questions such as “Why did this happen?” or “What are they doing differently”.

Not all of our F2 generation looked like how I had predicted them to look because they looked like yellow and green leaves but a non-purple stem. Also towards the end, we stopped nurturing our fast plants like we were supposed to so it ended up looking dry and shriveled up. Also, the parent generation grew faster than the F2 generation. What really hindered our plants was the lack of watering that we should have done at least two to three times a week. Both genetic make-up and environmental influences, for example, height, weight and the color. Also, it might be growing accustomed to the artificial light, then the plant is in a tight space is making them look different from other plants which aren’t in a tight space and are receiving sunlight. The environment in which the organism might be inhabiting and how the way in which they are being treated. During the course of quarter four, I learned that the environment which a plant is inhabiting does have a big impact on the plant, affecting their growth. I acknowledged this first when we first began to nurture our plants to the point that they were green and more seeds were ready to be planted. Also when we stopped nurturing the plants and stop caring for them they began to wilt and went from being healthy green to a desert color and didn’t have little pods growing anymore.

When getting ready to conduct the second fast plant experiment I expected the offspring's to take after the parent with the dominant genes but the plants never made it so I was never able to see through to this assumption. When I first took the seeds there were 3 seeds with mini buds and I was surprised because I couldn't wrap my head around their growth due to them not being put in a proper environment yet, as well as not having their needs met (Sunlight/Water). From this if the growth of the F2 generation were successful I would say they would have had a quicker growth then their parents. Through this quick summary and the photo one can quickly realize the F2 generation plants did not make it and this maybe because heat and not enough water. When watering your plants you should look out for hot temperatures and you should do this because it evaporates the water which prevents your plant from taking in the water, which leads to your plant dying from thirst. When looking at growth it's not only you parents that affect your appearance, it's also the environment and this can be due to climate, diet, etc. The greater impact the environment has on your genes, the more suitable the environment, so for example civilians of Africa one thing we notice is their dark skin and this is due to the environment. Their dark skin helps protect them from taking any real damage from the suns strong UV Rays. With all that said something that stood out to me was how plants can not only go through photosynthesis but also cellular respiration. This stands out to me because the plants can create their own energy instead of taking it in from the sun.

This fast plants project did not go how I expected it to go. The F2 generation did not look like how I thought they would because our plants didn't even grow to see if my prediction was right. The parent generation grew faster because they actually grew. I think our plants didn't grow because we kinda forgot to water the plants everyday and obviously plants need water to grow so yeah. Genetics and the environment affect the phenotype of an organism because it determines how the organism will look like when it gets older and how it will live. I think genetics is a greater indicator of how an organism will look because the genetics will stay with that organism forever while an environment could change and not have as big of an affect as genetics on the organism. Something that stood out to me during this course was that it takes a lot more work to take care of plants than I thought. You go just a couple of days without caring for your plant and everything can go wrong like it did here. Remember kids, water your plants.
