Day 5













Sedgwick Museum


Today we had a lesson on Hox genes and Evolution. We found out that Hox genes kind of controlled the development of an organism, and if the Hox genes are displaced, then stuff will grow out from other parts of your body (like legs on your head or something), and you get a mutant. We learnt a lot more stuff, too many to put them all down in words. We paid a visit to the Museum of Zoology and we saw a lot of fossils of dinosaurs and other ancient organisms. There was a huge skeleton of a Finback Whale on display, absolutely awesome. You won’t find it in Singapore. :D We also visited the Sedgwick Museum and like the Museum of Zoology, it also has lots of fossils, and at the entrance was the skeleton of a huge Iguanodon (dinosaur duh). Oh we also had a chance to touch the fossilized pooh of a dinosaur (gross X.x)
