Homozygous, Heterozygous, genotype phenotype fun CONTINUED!!!

Todays daily questions went something like this:

To see the explanation to these see the video below:

 

We continued through the slides on genotypes and phenotypes the rest of the period and then worked through the Mendel's Theory Notes Questions

Depending on how well you understood this concept SOME of you wrote this slide that just spells out what we have been talking about so far:

 

If you are still confused on this PLEASE check some of the YouTube clips below(in the last couple posts) or see me before/after school!!!!!!

 

DAILY QUESTION/OPEN NOTES QUIZ TOMORROW!!!!!!

 

TEST CORRECTIONS DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!!

Homozygous, Heterozygous, genotype phenotype fun.........

Yesterday's daily question:

Yesterdays Notes: (Some classes got further than others but here was the intended slides)

Again - Another good video to help sort out genotype/phenotype/heterozygous/homozygous is found below:

Heredity Intro

Friday we had our mitosis/DNA/DNA Replication/Meiosis Exam.

Monday you received those tests back.  If you would like to do test corrections, on a separate piece of paper write out the ENTIRE question and ENTIRE answer (not just A,B,C,D) and you will receive half of the points back (so basically for every question you correct it will add 1% to your exam score)  Do NOT redo question 3,6 or 24 as those points were given back in the curve.

Monday we also talked about all the "what ifs" of meiosis and fertilization including watching some podcasts about parasitic twins and chimeras.  Some neat stuff for sure!!

Today we started right into the next topic which is heredity.  We started with the following daily questions

And then into notes:

We talked a little about Mendel and his experiments.  to listen to a version similar  to mine, watch the video below.

some more info on alleles:

A GREAT look at what we talked about so far can be found below:

Mitosis meiosis review

Review day for the test!!!

I gave you guys some study guides and the first couple classes logged on to study island to review.  It was a blessing in disguise when they wouldn't work well for me because the rest of the classes we ended up doing the review together.  I focused the most today on teaching you guys HOW to study.  Just looking over the notes doesn't usually help but seeing if you could make a story of it, or an analogy.  I have been trying to model this when I go through the daily questions, but.... it will take time!!! I am also taking a stab at making some screen casts of lectures.  We'll see what happens with these!!

Here were some of the study island questions with the dialog we had.  You can log on yourself - remember your login is FIRSTNAMELAST.ECASD - password is probably your student ID
The other place to help review is:

Meiosis Wrap up

Friday February 14th we had our daily question quiz and continued through the notes on meiosis. 

 Monday February 17th  we did not have a daily question we went RIGHT into the notes and finished them up today.  Here was today's daily question and the rest of the notes from this chapter. Also check out the videos I have posted if #1 you missed any days or #2.  You still need clarification on this topic!!!

This was the answer to the second question - using our models and drawing it out we can see that the result would be some gametes missing a chromosome and some gametes with an extra chromosome.  See later in this post for notes on this and a video link to explain further.

Here were the notes for all of meiosis that we got Friday Monday and Today.



 

This are two different videos that are a good overall look at meiosis:
