Random sequence

skills at approximately the same age and in the same sequence as the majority of children of similar age.” (Allen 81) As sad as it sounds, children and their developmental stages are rather predictable. I work at a preschool and more often than not we find ourselves seeing the typical developmental process. A developmental sequence tend to be predictable and based off of observations of children of the same age. An example of motor development sequence is first a child touches toys, then grasps…

methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner. I can use all of my learning patterns at the Use First level without the need to avoid any, applying each pattern depending on the task at hand. I use Sequence…

Charlie Brown and Snoopy with the dog and cat food. I will ask them “What are some clues (expressions, body language, text), schema (what do they know about the characters, owning a pet), What evidence supports your answer?” I will point out the sequences and how we read the text and boxes left to right in order for the comic strip to make sense. I will then ask the students, “What is the problem and what is the solution?” After examining the comic strip, I will ask students what they believe…

the Rummy game that originated in North America. The game is played with two or more players and with one 52 card deck for two players and two decks for three or more people. Gameplay Three Thirteen has eleven rounds. The first dealer is selected at random and the turn to deal passes either to the left or right player—depending on the participants’ preference—after each round. In the first round, three cards are given to each player, in the second round four cards are dealt, and this goes on…

These mechanisms are genetic drift, natural selection, mutations, gene flow, and non-random mating. Mutations involve a permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can be beneficial, neutral, detrimental, or fatal to organisms. Mutations are passed on from parent to offspring and can cause evolution by increasing the size of the gene pool. Another mechanism…

A lady told me the other day that her child participates in coding at their elementary school. All I could picture was a few first graders sitting behind a computer and entering in random symbols. After reading the chapter from Connected Code, I now understand coding has a purpose which is to help students enhance their learning through different means other than a traditional classroom experience. I agree with the argument in the reading that coding teaches students how to reason and…

First, a random mutation occurs, resulting in a distinct trait variation. For example, consider a population of birds. The birds’ food source of soft seeds becomes scarce and they must begin to eat harder seeds and nuts in order to survive. A random variation occurs within the population, resulting in an organism possessing a stronger or larger beak. This allows this individual…

drift. Migration of individuals into a population can convey a large impact. As new gene frequencies are introduced into a population, new gene combinations may either benefit a species or “break up ‘good’ combinations of genes” (Than). Genetic drift, random variation in the number of allele frequencies in a population, is another mechanism of evolution. Most significant in small populations, genetic drift can lead to the loss of genetic variation as well as cause harmful alleles to become fixed…

Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase. A telomere is a stretch of DNA which has repetitive sequences of bases at the ends of chromosomes. When scientists started to develop knowledge on how genes are replicated, they realised that on one of the double strands of DNA cannot be replicated at the very end of the strand and due to this every time…

common sense. How do psychologists respond to this claim? What is it that psychologist do, as scientists, that goes beyond common sense and casual observation? Psychologists use the the concepts of hindsight bias, our tendency to perceive patterns in random events, and judgmental overconfidence to respond to those that argue that psychology is just common sense. Hindsight bias is the tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it.…
