Mom: Free ear lobes,hair on fingers, no widows peak, straight hair, cleft chin, smile dimples



Dad:Free ear lobes, hair on fingers, no widows peak,straight hair, smooth chin, smile dimples



My mom has alot of traights I don't such as straight hair, smile dimples, and cleft chin. My dad's differences from me are straight hair and smile dimples. I inherited traigts from mostly my dad but also from my mom and from neither. I have free ear lobes, hair on fingers, and no widows peak from both, smooth chin from my dad, but I don't have smile dimples. I don't have smile dimples which is a dominant trait so I have more recessive alleles than dominant.

My First Blog

I really enjoyed learning about Newton's Laws of Motion. I enjoyed learning them because it taught me why things move. I liked making the balloon-mobiles. Now every time I ride in a car or buss and it turns a corner and I see everyone sliding to one side I think of the laws of motion. When I do simple every-day tasks I think about them too. Although when I put something on top of a pile and then it falls even when nothing is touching it I know science involved because it falls because of gravity.
