Objective: To discover what factors determine which genes are passed along to future generations.
Agenda:
QW: Using your data table, write at least three sentences discussing what is happening to the brown colored mice living in the White Sands desert. *you must use the words: traits (or phenotype), reproduction, and predators in your response.
What effect do the genes (for fur color) inherited by the mice have on their survival?

Happy International Women's day!
Flossie Wong-Staal (b.1947): is a Chinese born virologist and molecular biologist.. She escaped the Communist revolution in China with her family and moved to Hong Kong with her family. She then moved to the States to attend UCLA, where she received her bachelors degree. She was the first scientist to clone HIV and then completed genetic mapping of the virus, a major step in proving that HIV is the cause of AIDS.
