Microevolution
Microevolution is a change in gene frequency within a population. This change is due to four different processes mutation selection , gene flow and genetic drift

Microevolution can be contrasted with marcoevolution, which is the occurrence of large-scale changes in gene frequencies in a population over a geological time period difference is largely one of approach. Microevolution is reductionist, but macroevolution is . Each approach offers different insights into the evolution process. Macroevolution can be seen as the sum of long periods of microevolution, and thus the two are qualitatively identical while being quantitatively different.

why is evolution a theory and not a law
Different theories and laws can end up to be wrong, and must be tested by considering what evidence we should find if the theory or law were false, and then looking for such evidence. For example if the theory of evolution were false then we shouldn't expect the similarities between living things to show a nested hierarchy, where in two species share many similarities some of which are shared by more distantly related species, and some of those of which are shared by more distantly related species; etc. Since we do in fact find such nested hierarchies of similarities, and since we would not expect to find such hierarchies if everything were made from scratch to look as it does now, that is strong support to indicate the theory is correct

last blog
my favorite topic activity this year was reading the hot zone book. It was cool reading it but I liked the movie better. my least favorite subject this year was nothing, I was ok with all of them. If I could change anything it would be not having to do anything on the computer. I would change it because I always forgot to go the computer and do the activity.

DNA crime investergators best friend??
DNA has changed the way police solve crimes. Now with DNA the cops can get the badguy with just a fingerprint, blood sample, hair sample or anything else the cops find that aint the victums. With the technology now a days the cops will be knocking on the bad guys door before the guy or girl can get out of town. The two main tests the csi guys run on DNA are PCR and RFLP. These two tests help the cops catch the badguy.
