After we had picked our disease then we went to the web sight above and looked up our disease and answered the questions on pages seven and eight. The first link is the most helpful of them all.

Friday

Today we met in the lyceum for bio day. The movie we watched was called "Dogs". It was about how dogs descended from wolfs. It was a big mystery for a very long time. They finally had an idea where there were some breeders that only took the two calmest dogs and breeding thus driving the gene for being calm into there genetic material, creating dogs. They figured out they did this for many different things for instance they thought for creating some dogs that can run really fast in the old days only feeding the dogs that would catch food so they developed to becoming the fastest dogs yet. That was how they believed all of the different breeds of dogs came to be.
