Summary:
        All humans genes are all %99.5 the same. For babies to get Tay-Sachs disease both parents have to have the defective gene and this disease happens to 1 in 9 babies. This disease is a disease that causes your brain to slowly destroys your brain and might die. This caused a kid named Hayden to have about 10 seizures in a day and he died before he even turned because the fatty substances destroyed his brain. Your DNA is about 3 meters long in just one of you cells and could reach from the earth to the sun 3 times.


S&EP: SP2: Developing and using models:
        This I drew a picture of a super hero that is based off of the animal the Pit Viper. The picture had to be a human with the traits of the animal and the super powers that animals have. The Pit Vipers super power is that they can see in infrared. My character had scales on her outfit that was on the bottom of her dress and she had scales that went on her arm. She had a green and slightly brown outfit that made it so that she looked like a scaly snake. I drew her in a desert area and she had her hands on her hips.


XCC: Structure and Function:
        Pit Vipers can see in infrared and they can see what is warm and what is cold. This allows them to "see" at night because they can find you even if it is dark because they can see your body heat. The Pit vipers are able to do this because there are holes that are on their face that can detect the radiation and the hat that comes from your body and then they can see infrared. The holes that find your body heat are called pit organs. The holes are on their face and can detect our body heat which allows these amazing animals to see infrared.
