JOURNAL 1: CHARLES DARWIN & EVOLUTION

Week 1

The topic for the first week is about Charles Darwin and Evolution.

What do I learn from this topic?

Basically, I learn the ideas made by Charles Darwin in terms of evolution where the development of cell occur step by step that change during time. Also, there was another scientist that built another ideas where organisms experience changes from simple to complex.

Another theory came from Lamarck where the environment pressure causes the body changes which happen from the short neck giraffe to long neck giraffe.However, Charles came by with another idea where natural selection occur within the environment that causes the physical changes of giraffe.




From my opinion, the idea should be compromised because why not?? It might be boring to some people but this thought never crossed in our mind on how the human life long time ago and how did they look like. I have heard the story where human size long time ago was bigger than nowadays because they need to adapt with natural environment and due to climate. The size of human also can be a theory which evolution occur from large to small. This might be due to natural disaster causes more places had been swallowed with tsunami or earthquake. 

This is only based on my hearing so hope you guys interested in getting further about this chapter by checking out the info I have shared.

JOURNAL 6: POLLINATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF EMBRYO

Image
Week 6 So now I will talk about plant pollination. Do you know how pollination occurs?? Which part of plants involve in pollination?? How can plant do the double fertilisation?? Pollination occurs by the agent carrier such as wind, insect or water. This agent will transfer pollen to the part of seed plant containing the ovules. Male reproductive organ are anther and filament while female reproductive organ are stigma,style and ovary. There will be 2 sperm, one of it will fertilizes the egg generating into zygote, another one will fertilizes a polar cell with 2 nuclei and generating into endosperm. This is only a short and simple introduction to this chapter. What happens to zygote after fertilization?? ---> zygotic embryogenesis ---> somatic embryogenesi s (not normally involve in development of embryo) Group Work as usual We need to compare and contrast between zygotic and somatic embryogenesis. Both process occur from different embryo but they experienc

REFLECTIVE LEARNING

A journey of growing plant. By: Adila Erwin Date: 25 January 2021   This is my first time experience to actually growing a plant. Through this journey, a lot of new information I have gained since I indulge in this plant project. What I have learned in theory class is different from the practical. This project have teach me such as the soil types, the used of rice husk, and the types of fertilizers used is depend on which stages we would like it to grow into. In addition, I also learnt some plants can be very sensitive but some can be very resistant.  This project also teach me to be more patience and find a way to solve it. During 10 or 11 weeks of growing, my plants have not yet undergo flowering stages. A single bud is still not visible. To solve this problem, I have learnt things such as providing suitable fertilizer that encourage for the flowering stages to occur.       Along the journey, I have faced several obstacles which prevent my plant from growing healthily, in which the a

JOURNAL 4: ENDOSYMBIOSIS

Week 4 Where do the eukaryotic cell come from??? This topic of endosymbiosis will explain about it. The term of endosymbiosis itself explain where the eukaryotic generally come from. It happen when the fusion of prokaryotes causes the rising of eukaryotes. If the bacteria accidentally swallowed autotroph bacteria, it will become origin of eukaryotic plant cell. While if the bacteria accidentally swallowed heterotrophic, it became origin of eukaryotic animal cell. It is said that origin of eukaryotic cell organelles such as mitochondria in animal and chloroplast in plant was greatly advanced by the endosymbiosis process. Thus, our lecturer had given task to compare and contrast the difference of mitochondria and chloroplast. They have difference such as in energy production, final electron acceptor, DNA chromosomal and reproduction. Possible ancestor for chloroplast and mitochondria Due to task given, we had to noting any similarities or differences the mitoc
