Recording of 12/16 Biology class - probability and punnett squares

https://youtu.be/Z_YZNwPhBts

12/16 Biology update and homework due 1/6

Hi folks,

First off, no class for the next two weeks due to the holidays.  Our next class will be on January 6 2017.  The Merriest of Holidays to everyone!!!

We are now at the point where we can see how genetic material from two parents intertwine to create an new and unique individual. This is the beginning of genetics. We used Punnett squares as a tool to see what kinds of combinations could be created from the parents genotypes. We will be doing more with genetics next week.

Homework for 1/6 is to get some practice with these Punnett squares.

Do questions 1 - 11 on the "Introduction Basic Genetics" .pdf.

Do questions 1 - 9 on the "Dihybrid Cross" .pdf.  I've included the answers to this one so that you can check your work.

12/9 Biology update and homework due 12/16

Hi folks,

We are now at the point where we can see how genetic material from two parents intertwine to create an new and unique individual. This is the beginning of genetics. We did a lab where we actually saw our own DNA and we did a survey of students to see what traits have been inherited.  We will be doing more with genetics next week.

No recording this week since much of the class was taken up with activities.

Read chapter 9 pages 173 - 178

Do questions 1 - 11 on page 188

12/2 Biology update and homework due 12/9

Hi folks,

Today we reviewed mitosis and covered meiosis.

Homework due next week:

Read pages 161 - 164
Do questions 16 - 20 on page 166
Do questions 1 - 6 on page 167

Be sure to memorize those meiosis and mitosis steps!!!

11/18 Biology Update and Homework due 12/2

Hi folks,

No Class next week since everyone's going to be working off their meals of biological macromolecules. (Turkey dinner. :) )

Today in bio we began to discuss cell division. We primarily covered mitosis and next class we will discuss meiosis.

For homework, I'd like you to read pages 150 - 159.
Do "Understanding Key Concepts" on page 166 #'s 5-15
Be sure to understand mitosis. You can bet I'm going to ask you to draw that on a quiz or two.
