We feel that we have been successful in that this model works and that it
is a good start to more complex and more beneficial models. We feel this
was a good way to display how breast cancer is spread throughout a population.
This takes into account the factors reflecting population genetics in that we
examine mutation and the inheritance of gene. All in all, this model effectively
shows that the larger a population the slower the inheritance of the breast cancer
gene. Breast cancers spread is affected by mutation and genetic drift.
Our greatest accomplishment was completing a successful Star Logo
computational model. Within the model the greatest accomplishment was developing
and writing the code. We feel that this part of the code was the hardest part to
write…
to reproduce :mom :dad ; parameters passed in the reproduce call
if (age > 19 and age < 40)
[ifelse (random 2) = 0 [let [:gA1 A1-of :mom]] [let [:gA1 A2-of :mom]]
ifelse (random 2) = 0 [let [:gA2 A1-of :dad]] [let [:gA2 A2-of :dad]]
hatch
[set age 0 set A1 :gA1 set A2 :gA2
ifelse (random 2) = 0
[set breed male setshape 12 setc 107]
[set breed female setshape 13 setc 17]
if (random 400) = 0
[mutation]
]
]
end
We feel that this was hard because we had to understand and use parameters and
locals. Which neither of us had ever seen before.
