DNA

1 Human genetic code is DNA and thats the key of life.

2

3 Dr. Francis S. Collins, was the one who led the Genome Project.

4 Human Genome Project started 1990 and there goal was to identify all the genes in human DNA

5 DNA is comprised of four chemicals that are called bases and are labeled in A,T,C  and G.

6 DNA determine our unique characteristics such as eye, hair color, height and personality and skin complexion.

7  Human Genome Project developments have impacted that causes to find diseases such as types of cancer and Alzheimer’s

Would you like to have your DNA sequenced so you could know which diseases you might be susceptible to? Why or why not?

Would you like to know what diseases you might have?

Why or why not would you not know what diseases you might have?

Just by DNA you can know what diseases that can you can be susceptible to.

This test can maybe help you not get one of these diseases.

If you have a chance to get one of these diseases then you talk to a doctor that can tell you the things you should avoid to eat or do to not get one of the diseases.

You have a disease.

If you have a diseases that can be a bad thing because it can freak you out and that can cause’s other problems like dress or other things.

All this can help you in different ways.

 The story says that the mapping of the human genome was widely considered “the most significant scientific discovery since evolution.” Do you agree with that statement? Why or why not?

Mapping of the Human genome.

Most significant scientific discovery since evolution.

DNA makes us all different and also is the thing that created how we look.

DNA it one of the biggest things

I agree with out DNA we can cure all the diseases we can today.

DNA makes it easier for the police.

DNA can help the police to identify a person just by taking a blood test we can find out all about the person.

DNA can show us 1000 different things about us self’s.

Supernova

1. Supernova 1987A is the first star explosion ever to be studied from its beginning.
2. scientists believe that supernovas are  responsible for a large portion of important elements found on Earth, such as oxygen, carbon and even the iron in human blood.
3. Scientists are hoping to discover the energetic event impacts the environment around the supernova and how that interaction might be representative of the other supernovae in the universe.
4. A supernova explosion is something where you see a star that you hadn't seen before suddenly turn billions of times brighter than it was. 
5. An exploding star ends up either as a neutron star that is as dense as an atomic nucleus and the size of a big city, or it ends up as a black hole where gravity is so strong, even light cannot escape. 
6. Just this week, scientists announced that a supernova they were watching (SN1979C) may have turned into a black hole. 
7. A star that become a supernove is at least nine times the size of our sun. 
8. Supernova 1987A exploded is the nearest exploding star to be discovered since 1604, in the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way.
9. The Hubble telescope was launched into outer space in 1990.
10.  String of pearls are made up of gas material that the star released before exploding.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Do you think it’s important to study phenomena in space like supernovae and black holes? Why or why not?  
2. 
   
3.  It is important to study phenomena in space because the scientists that are working on it find information that can be important for us to know if something will happen soon or how long the sun will stay until it explodes or something like that.
4.  
5. Why do you think ‘backyard astronomers’ like the one who found this supernova are often the first ones make discoveries? Have you ever looked through a telescope? How would you be able to tell whether a something new had appeared in space? 
6.  
7.  
8. Backyard astronomers are often the first ones to make discoveries because they work with it everyday. i have never looked through a telescope. If they check everyday they can maybe see if something new is there or if something is different.
   
9. Why does it take light from an exploding star so long to reach Earth? Why is it impossible to know everything that is going on in space in ‘real time’?  
10.  
11.  light from an exploding star takes light years to reach earth because on stars are close to it. There's impossible to know everything about what is happening in space because the space is enormous and it keeps expanding as we speak.
12. 
    
13. What methods do scientists have for observing phenomena that occur millions of lightyears away? 
14.  
15. The scientists have a telescope in space that they can use to see things that have happend lightyears ago.
