Unit 6 Reflection
In this unit we learned about biotechnology which is the study of livings things and generally focuses on DNA, inheritance, and proteins. There are 4 applications of biotechnology which are industrial environment, agricultural, medical/pharmaceutical and diagnostic research. Another technology is Recombination DNA which is the process of inserting DNA of another organism into another organism and it creates GMO. 3 more technologies of biotechnology is PCR which is a procedure to amplify a specific DNA region another one is Gel electrophoresis , that is when electricity to separate DNA fragments based on size. Last one is Sequencing which is the determining the exact sequencing, of a given DNA strand. The hardest part of this unit was the Recombinant DNA process. This was the hardest in my opinion because it had the most steps and was a little confusing.
We did many fun labs in this unit that helped me understand all the information.

My favorite lab that we did was the pGLO lab, this lab was my favorite because it wrapped up all the information from the unit and it was the most fun and cool lab. What I want to learn more from this unit is the process of Recombinant DNA. I want to learn more about this becuase it really interesting but also very hard to understand.
For my New Years goals update I have been very organized and had a folder for all of my subjects and papers. I have also used my planner everyday, and it really helps. The next step for this is I want to continue being this organized for the rest of the year, and I know I can do it. For the vegetarian part of my New Years goals I have been vegetarian for 2 weeks, and I am still trying to continue it. I really like being vegetarian and I am going to continue doing this for the rest of the year.
