Just eat your peas. Your country is depending on you.

My students love the unit we do on genetics towards the end of the school year.

There is the coolest site on the Internet that has Bikini Bottom Genetic worksheets.

It really holds their interest and they are actually learning the basics of genetics.

Mendel led the way for the climate-change "scientists" of today; he fudged his data.

In a random world, actual events don't fit a smooth statistical curve, and data that matches theory too closely is highly suspect.


Experiments on Plant Hybridization

"In 1936, the statistician R.A. Fisher used a chi-square test to analyze Mendel's data and concluded that Mendel's results with the predicted ratios were far too perfect, indicating that adjustments (intentional or unconscious) had been made to the data to make the observations fit the hypothesis. Later authors have claimed Fisher's analysis was flawed, proposing various statistical and botanical explanations for Mendel's numbers.[3] It is also possible that Mendel's results are "too good" merely because he reported the best subset of his data — Mendel mentioned in his paper that the data was from a subset of his experiments."

Bikini Bottom Genetic worksheets

Shouldn't you post an image or at least a link to anything with the words Bikin-Bottom?

So it's OK to fudge data if your intentions are good?

IOW, it's OK to change-climate data to fit your climate-change theory because your intention is to save the planet?

Umm...read your cited paragraph again.

A statistician *claimed* he fudged his data, which others have disputed.

All he was saying was give peas a chance.

It's like this; theoretically, if you flip a coin a hundred times, you should get 50 heads and 50 tails.

In reality, you will only get 50 heads and 50 tails a very small percentage of the time.

Mendel got 50/50 a very high percentage of the time.

Plus, he admitted he culled his data, if you read my cited paragraph again.

Would you tolerate climate "scientists" culling their data (as they have been documented to do), when they are going to use the results to take away your prosperity and freedom?

8.

Mr. Krabbs and his wife recently had a Lil’ Krabby, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs. Krabbs has been upset since she first saw her new baby who had short eyeballs. She claims that the hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby.

Mr. Krabbs is homozygous for his tall eyeballs, while his wife is heterozygous for her tall eyeballs.

Some members of her family have short eyes, which is the recessive trait.

Create a Punnett square using T for the dominant gene and t for the recessive one.

A. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.

B. Did the hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.

ANSWERS

A. TT - tall eyeballs or Tt - tall eyeballs

B. The hospital must have made a mistake, since the genotype “tt” would not be possible based on the genotypes of Mr. and Mrs. Krabbs.

Is this what they call an ad hominem attack? Like, E., do you still beat your wife?

I'd trust a monk's conclusion way before I'd trust a statistician's (who live, incidentally, entirely by hindsight) accusations. OMG, hands down. I'd bet on it if I could.
