 ===Scientific Conclusion===
-This week's assignment supported the idea that the alleles of both parents being passed down to offspring (one from each parents) is what determines the offspring's trait. The purpose of the Evolution assignment was fulfilled since the purpose was to observe the different offspring traits when comparing fitness of each organism (white or red). Everything was based on fitness. Having the greatest fitness, for example when one flower would have a fitness of 10 and all other flowers had a fitness of 0, allowed for one flower to dominate and after a few generations appear as the only color available. Although, having one color does not mean it will be this way for all resulting offspring. For example, a red flower can have the genotype Rr but if two flowers with this genotype were to have an offspring it can have rr which is white. Although Rr is expressed as red it holds the allele for white.

 ===Purpose===
-The purpose of the '''Evolution''' section was to explore evolution with evolving digital organisms. The evolution tab used 100 flowers that are annual. These flowers live for one year and die after producing seeds for the next generation. The flower contributes to the gene pool for the next generation and is based of fitness. All parents die and the offspring begin crossing with one another. All that this simulation focuses on is fitness.

 '''Why does it take more generations to get to pure red than it does to get to pure white?'''
-With the fitness set for white, the recessive alleles (r) are more prominent to survive. This allows for more pure white genotypes. When the fitness is set for red, that incorporated r alleles since they are a part of Rr. It also enhances RR which when mixing with Rr can still make Rr. This allows for red flowers to be made, expressed by the R allele, but with the white allele present. This is why it is difficult to get pure red as the red flowers Rr and Rr have the potential to bring in a white flower. However, a white flower does not have R at all, making it easier to express the r allele as dominant.

This allows for red flowers to be made, expressed by the R allele, but with the white allele present. This is why it is difficult to get pure red as the red flowers, Rr, has the potential to bring in a white flower when making offspring with another Rr. However, when selecting for white, a white flower does not have R at all, making it easier to express the r allele as dominant since it is the allele given the greatest fitness.
