Macromolecules and such

This weeks class was very interesting along with the lab. I liked how we approached the idea of DNA and randomness. We went in depth enough to understand the ideas and concepts but not too into it as to get boggled down with tons of detail. The idea of randomness and mutation also intrigued me. It left me with a lot of questions that I thought I knew. For example what does cause a mutation is it interior or exterior? Is it the surrounding atmosphere. I don't know but it intrigues me how random combinations can make so many different people.

The lab was also interesting because we got to use new instruments and develop our own hypothesis. While, doing this we learned better ways to run experiments through minor errors and variation among trials.
