q² (Homozygous Recessive Individual) = .513
q (Recessive Allele) = .72
p (Dominant Allele) = .28
p² (Homozygous Dominant Individual) = .078
2pq (Heterozygous Individual) = .403

Population out of 1000
Homozygous Dominant Individual = 513
Heterozygous Individual = 403
Homozygous Recessive Individual = 78

Steps
  1. To find q, find the square root of q²
  2. Subtract 1 by q to find p (1 - q)
  3. After finding p, square p to find p²
  4. Then to find 2pq, multiply 2 by p then q (2*p*q)
  5. To make sure your calculations are correct you can use the two formulas                (p + q = 1) and  (p² + 2pq + q² = 1)
  6. Finally multiply each value of the individuals (q²,p²,2pq) by the total # of the population (1000) to find the population of each group of individuals

Worm Lab Blog

I believe substance A is the depressant, substance B is the water and substance C is the stimulant.
The data to support this is the data that was shared by the 9 groups in Mrs. Moreno's second period class. 
The method I used to come to this conclusion was by averaging each groups data on each different substance (A, B, C).
By averaging the data I was able to find out that the average heartbeat of the worms in each substance.

Substance A: 26.99 (Depressant)
Substance B: 31.26 (Water)
Substance C: 33.81 (Stimulant) .

Ecology Selfies

 My experience with collecting selfies was great, I went hiking with a group friends and had tons of fun! We went to the Black Diamond mines and found plenty of things to take selfies and group photos of.

This is my favorite photo of the trip!
It's a picture of us with a gymnosperm(pine cone), showing everyone that went on trip with one of the first objects we found during the trip. I remember everyone being scared to pick it up, thinking there would be ticks in the pine cone or nearby.

In the third photo, its another group photo of us with a rotten fruit for evidence of decomposition.
Everyone was scared to pick it up because it was rotten and nasty, but in the end Daniel volunteered to take one for the team.
