The information in the genetics unit I best understood was how genes and chromosomes contain genetic information, and how genotypes lead to phenotypes. The topic that was most challenging for me to understand was how structural changes to genes can affect proteins and the different types of mutations.
A strategy I could use to determine the factors that influence plant growth is to conduct experiments with controlled variables and different environmental conditions to see how they impact plant growth.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is how environmental factors specifically influence the growth of organisms, because it is interesting to understand how the outside environment can affect an organism's development and survival.
Write a reflection on 7th grade level. Here is the info:
use one of these:
The information in the genetics unit I best understood was…and the topic that was most challenging for me to understand was…

One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is…because...
After that I here is what we learned:
Genes and chromosomes contain genetic information
A genotype is a set of alleles; a phenotype is an observable trait
Genotypes lead to phenotypes
Meiosis is involved in the transfer of traits to the next generation
Structural changes to genes can affect proteins Mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral
Genetic factors influence the growth of organisms
Environmental factors influence the growth of organisms
