1/13 Biology update and homework due 1/20

Hi folks,

Today we spent some time breaking rules. Mendelian genetics rules that is. We learned about a few of the exceptions to the basic heredity through dominant and recessive genes.

We also began our next block on evolution.

Read pages 297-306 and do questions 1-8 on page 307.

Also, make your own quiz. Create questions based on the following concepts and then solve the questions. I'll give you 3 points of extra credit if I end up using your question on an upcoming quiz. Have fun!

1. Typical Mendelian genetics problem that can be solved using a monohybrid cross.

2. Typical Mendelian genetics problem that can be solved using a dihybrid cross.

3. Incomplete dominance problem that can be solved using a monohybrid cross.

4. Codominance problem that can be solved using a monohybrid cross.

5. A blood type problem problem that can be solved using a monohybrid cross.
