Monday and Tuesday March 7th and 8th - Introduction to gene expression

We finished up the heredity unit with a review and test on Thursday / Friday.

Yesterday and Today we started into our next chapter on Gene Expression.

We had the same reminders and Goals for both days.

Yesterday you went through introductory book work and then answered the following daily questions.

If you notice - We will start to have Module 1 Keystone Questions a couple times a week in order that we don't have a panic attack a week before the exam about Module A content ;)

Today we started with the following daily questions:

THEN we went through the following notes and made sure we had all this information down in our bookwork.

Tuesday March 1st - Continue through Environmentally Influenced and Sex Linked Traits

First off..... After seeing that we could use a LITTLE more practice, I have opted to move the test until FRIDAY.   With that said, though, MAKE SURE YOU ARE ATTENTIVE during class!!!

The daily questions today were specifically about Blood Type.  You were to reference your study guide in order to come up with the genotypes and phenotypes.

We started back on the concept of Epigenetics.  I had you watch about the first half of these two YouTube clips:

The on to Sex Linked Inheritance:

Daily Questions:

**  We had a little bit of a discussion about the "heterozygous Advantage" to sickle cell anemia. **

Friday February 26th - Introduction to complex forms of inheritance

Thursday you had your Heredity Daily Question Quiz and then worked on a study guide.

Friday I gave you about 15 minutes to finish up the study guide that you received on Thursday and to answer the following daily questions.

This was our first look at non-Mendelian forms of inheritance (complex forms of inheritance.)

Then we started into notes about the first type of non-Mendelian genetics.

A good description and examples of polygenic inheritance are found in this video:

The next video does a good job at specifically look at how MANY genes actually end up coding for eye color

Wednesday February 24th - Pedigrees, Punnett Squares, Fainting Goats OH MY!!

Goals and Reminders for today....

Today's Daily questions were a little complex - simply because you really needed to walk step by step through the process.  Today - not only did I include a screenshot of our Daily Question - But also a Screencast!  It would help if you listened to that if you were absent today!!

Next up - I gave you about 5-10 minutes to finish up the assignment you got yesterday.  If you STILL did not get that finished it will be due tomorrow.

Onto a little bit of notes as an intro to complex forms of inheritance:

FIRST though....  We watched fainting goats...

THEN....
