Heredity Lab Report
PurposeTo equip learners with fundamental knowledge on genetics IntroductionThe foundation of genetics was laid by Gregory Mendel who was later appreciated as the father of genetics. In his research, Mendel did several experiments using pea plant and compiled his report, which was recognized a century later. In his experiments, he did self-pollination and cross-pollination. He then observed varied trait like flower color, seed color, flower position, pod shape, pod color, stem length, and seed shape (Audesirk, Audesirk & Byers, 2008). Out of the experiments, Mendel formulated two laws, which are law of segregation and independent assortment.Hypothesis/Predicted OutcomeAll the offsprings will be purple MethodsTo obtain credible results, I will apply experiment method in the lab. During which, I will self-cross F1 generation of the previous pure lines parents. Afterwards, I will observe the phenotype outcome. In my report, I have chosen Pp to represent the self-crossed plants.

Discussion/AnalysisThe result of the experiment produced a phenotypically ratio of 3:1, that is, three purple flower plants and one white flower. This is not what I was expecting according to my hypothesis. The outcome was because the offsprings inherited a single gene from each parent to form their pair of gene (Audesirk, Audesirk & Byers, 2008). Because the gene of the purple plant suppresses the white plant in the off-springs, it is evident that three quarters of the off-spring become phenotypically purple, but genotypically they had gene of white and purple traits from both parents (Krogh, 2007). On the other hand, the white flowered off-spring contains pure traits. Therefore, P (upper case) is dominant p (Lower case) is recessive. In this regard, the genotypic ratio PP:Pp:pp is 1:2:1

COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSING
COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSINGIn primary prevention, the nurse’s intervention should limit the effects of the occurring disaster. He/she nurse should advocate for effective infrastructures such as buildings, roads, bridges which can withstand the forces of wind, water and tremors experienced in the event (Hassmiller and Stanley, 2012). In secondary prevention the nurse can intervene by providing supportive care which includes determining victims who need shelter, coordinating the activities of shelter workers, keeping record of those admitted and discharged from the shelters and ensuring safety of the shelter residents. In tertiary prevention the nurse can give follow-up psychological care for problems resulting from the disaster. The nurse with a team of psychologists can team up and give counseling to the victims who undergo psychological trauma.
The above interventions can be applied in the recovery phase of the disaster management. This is because it is at this phase that the nurse can assess the impact of the disaster on people and the environment so as to implement the proposed interventions. The recovery phase aims at the recovery of the community and its members from the effects of the disasters and preventing it from recurring (Vogt and Kulbok,2008)
Disaster management nurses are specialized and skilled in responding to disasters and would be valuable participants in facilitating the above interventions while on the other hand critical care nurses provide specialized care to victims who are badly injured hence these groups of nurses will play a major role in the management of the victims. On occurrence of a disaster, people tend to experience psychological trauma and they would benefit greatly from Critical Incidence Stress Debriefing (CISD) (Mitchell and Everly, 1996) provided by psychologists. Volunteer groups such as Redcross participates in disaster management by helping in evacuation, giving first aid, providing food, clothing and resettlement of those who are displaced.
