 What was most interesting about this week's dissections? 

This week there was plenty of dissecting and learning out of it. First off, I learned how to use many tools that are used in the process of dissecting. I also learned that all specimens have same organs in a way but have them in different locations in varying sizes making them unique. Dissecting a cray fish, made me realize that the shell isn't as hard as I expected it to be.

Should we be using pesticides? Why or why not? What are the possible consequences?

Farmers or agriculture people should and should not use pesticides having both good and bad consequences. Having pesticides in use may mean that the plants have less pests and can continue their growth and reproduction. However, this can damage the crop too because they don't have the same old quality it did before and may mean that companies that consume these crops may not want to continue taking in these "fake" production. If these pesticides aren't used the plants can keep original and may or may not be successful. This can also have a down side because this means the plants can catch fungi and not be able to grow as desired.

Get a picture of alternation of generations put it in your blog and explain how it relates to plants.

Alterations in generations relates to both humans and plant because they can have same ancestors yet they look completely different from what the ancestor has looked as. They also have similar genes but different traits,which make them diverse from one another. Humans as well as plants pass down traits and characteristics that the offspring may have in the long run. They both require eggs to reproduce and go through wither the process of meiosis or mitosis.
