March 13, 2012 What I read about was punnett squares, the way they described it was that it looked like a windowpane. It said that when given information about parent organisms you could use a punnett square to guess the genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring. March 15,2012 What we did today was we learned how to do punnett squares. I think that I glow at tellin the difference between homezygous and heterozygous. I think that I need to grow at setting up the chart, I think that I need more work on the punnett square. I get some of the things on the punnett square but not all of it.

Surname Map

March 20,2012 I did not find my last name anywhere on the map.I think the reason is because I dont know alot of people with the last name Griffin unless they are my cousin, or other type of family member.I looked up my last name and it said that the last name Griffin came from.

Ellis island was used for immagrants to come to America from were ever they are from, Ellis Island is located on the harbor. In 1907 was when more than 1 million immigrants came to Ellis Island. Im not sure if any of my anceestors came from Ellis Island but my grandmother told me that my great great grandfather was Irish American. I think a pull factor for people to come to America is that people could get a job, also another pull factor is their children could go to school, one more pull factor is if they didnt have anything from were they came from they could start over and get a new life in America. A push factor for them to leave is when Hitler was over the German army he destroyed most of Europe and that may be a push factor for people to leave Germany. Another push factor could be when Russia went to war with Japan and lots of Russians lost their lives so mothers probably took their children to America to get away from the violence. Another push factor could be religion because most Irish people who came were catholic and in Ireland they would get punished for being a catholic.

During spring break I did not do alot but I went to the carnival Saturday and bought a new game. Most of the Time during spring break I was sleeping or watching TV or play the video game. Sometimes during spring break I went outside and played basketball. I had watched the final four over spring break I was hoping that Ohio State would beat Kansas but it didnt happen.
