Genetics Quiz Friday

Here's the format:

10 multiple choice, 5 open response (ie genetics problems) worth 5 pts each.  20 points in all.  There will be one chi-sq (you will get the formula and table) so please bring a calculator.

Jellies- you should be all set.  Look over the problem on DNAftb.org Lesson 11 for a little more review on linked genes and maps.

Squids- Don't worry if you haven't done your lab draft yet- that can wait until after break.  Look over the Genetics Day 4 lecture notes.  We will go over those tomorrow (Wednesday), and DNAftb Lesson 11.  I will be available to review during X-block tomorrow.

Remember the review guide is in the Unit 3 folder.  Reminder also to turn the following into your Drive folder:

• DNAftb Lesson 10
• Genetics Practice Problems (answer key now posted)
• DNAftb Lesson 11
• Corn lab draft- if its done.  If not, you can turn it in after break.

I don't take off for late work, so even if you have a zero (Not turned in) for an assignment now, after you turn it in and I update grades will get get regular credit.

Well, this is how co-dominance works

Thursday night HW, Feb 5- UPDATE

UPDATE- I'm going to push back the due date for the draft one day.  So Jellies, draft due Tuesday; Squids, draft due Wednesday.  Please keep in mind that we will have a quiz on genetics on the Friday before break.  There is an outline in the Unit three folder.  This will be a quiz (not test) and will include several genetics crosses.

Jellies, your draft of the corn lab will be due on Monday.  I know this is a bit of a quick turn-around, but the results and conclusion should be fairly straightforward, and I've outlined the info that should be included in the introduction.  Remember that this is only a draft at this point.

Squids- Please finish up the "Genetics Practice problems" if you didn't finish in class.  Then read over the corn lab rubric and begin researching the genetics and reproduction of corn.  We will do the lab in class on Friday; draft will be due Tuesday.

HW night of Feb 3

Jellies- please review the rest of the slides in the Genetics Day 3 lecture about Chi-sq.  Then complete the "Genetics Practice Problems" in the Unit 3 folder.  Also if you want, check DNAftb Lesson 13 about pedigrees.

Squids- please complete DNAftb Lesson 10.  See the previous post about getting the animation to work on your iPad, or use a laptop/desktop.  If you already finished Lesson 10, please look over Lesson 13.
