I'm BACK!!!!!

I had to take a little break from updating this due to having the flu/bronchitis... sorry about that guys!!!  Instead of attempting to go back and make a post for EVERY day I've missed on the blog we'll just start fresh.  On this post I will put the daily questions from the last couple days and the notes we have been going over.

Monday March 10th- no daily questions you worked on your Directed readings and answered questions at the end of the chapter in the book.
Tuesday:

Today (Wednesday): Watch and see!
Over the past couple days we have gone through complex forms of inheritance such as polygenic inheritance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles etc.  You have been following along with your directed reading packet and filling in where needed.  Here are the slides and videos to help explain:

 
A good video that shows ALL Of these is found below.  If you missed any of these days or are still confused on any of these I HIGHLY recommend this video.
 
 

The beginning of the video below does a GREAT job of describing Polygenic inheritance.  It then ALSO shows X-linked traits in a great way.  Don't worry about the mitochondrial DNA genetics stuff!!!






 Specific video on incomplete and codominance


The following video does a really great job of epistasis which is how genes interact with EACH OTHER.  At the same time though, it describes how the genes for a particular enzyme are denatured at particular temperatures.
