Gregor Mendal was easily able to achieve this by using true breeding plants.…

    In Inheritance: How Our Genes Change Our Lives and Our Lives Change Our Genes, author Sharon Moalem uses a concoction of historical happenings, real-life experiences, and patient case history to portray two main biological concepts: deviations from Mendelian genetics and epigenetics (Moalem, 2014). In regards to the AP Biology curriculum, these two concepts relate, respectively, to the third and fourth big ideas that make-up the course’s framework. The third big idea in the AP Biology curriculum declares that, “Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes” (The College Board, 2015). The continual survival and growth in all living organisms hinge on the genetic information they inherit from…

Jackson’s calm tone is spectacular for her story. She begins in a very journalistic approach in the first sentence by describing the morning being very clear, sunny, and beautiful. The style appears to be without any sort of emotion- no kindness and no pleasure.…
