-Hand back Traits Lab & review #8

How can a person's genotype for a trait be determined from his or her phenotype for the trait?
If a trait is dominant and you possess that trait you will not be able to determine your exact genotype because you could be either homozygous or heterozygous for the gene that controls the trait. However, if a trait is determined by incomplete dominance or codominance, you can tell what your genotype is. Genotypes of recessive traits can also be identified.
For example, if your phenotype is long eyelashes, your genotype could either by EE or Ee. But if your phenotype is short eyelashes you know your genotype is ee.

-Do #6-13 12.3 Active Reading together to discuss Punnett Squares

-What to study:
What does it mean to be homozygous/heterozygous for a trait?
Alleles - what are they? How are they expressed?
Mendel's Laws
Mendel's experiments and P, F1, & F2 generations
What's a sex-linked trait? X chromosome carries most of these
Be able to complete a Punnett square and determine possible phenotypes
Polygenic character - a character controlled by several genes
Phenotype can also be affected by conditions in the environment, such as nutrients and temperature (fox's fur changing color)

Review traits lab; begin 12.3

-Reminder about important calendar dates:
*Ch. 12 test next Thurs 5/21 
*Final honors projects due May 28th & June 1st
*June 1st & 2nd will be in class study time for biology final
*June 4th biology final on all semester 2 material
*June 11th last day of school!

-Warm Up: In your notebooks!

What is the analogy I mentioned recently about genotype and phenotype? 
Genotype is like a ___________ and phenotype is__________.

IMPORTANT to remember...genotype determines phenotype.

-Review Traits Lab & turn in for credit (40 pts)

-12.3 Modeling Mendel's Laws
Learning Objective: I can use Mendel's Laws to predict and understand the results from a given cross.
Who uses this kind of information in real life?
Farmers, gardeners, animal keepers, biologists, & medical professionals (who use pedigrees)

-Watch Bozeman Science lecture video on Punnett Squares

-Do 12.3 Active Reading together to discuss Punnett Squares

Traits Lab!

-Finish up 12.2 note taking 

-If extra time, use it to work on vocabulary flashcards!

Finish 12.1; Do 12.2 with note taking

-Progress Reports go out next Tuesday, May 12th...
TURN IN ALL MISSING WORK BY MONDAY 5/11/15 TO MAKE SURE IT GETS ENTERED IN SYNERGY!

-Period 1: show me your completed 12.1 Active Reading for credit
-Period 2: show me your completed 12.1 Active Reading for credit & then we'll go over answers as a class



12.2 Mendel's Theory
Learning Objective: I can use Mendel's Theory to explain why I have some, but not all, of my parents' traits.

Note taking in interactive notebooks WITH PROCESSING :)
(if you miss class: my.hrw.com or textbook for section 12.2 notes!)

Important vocabulary terms in 12.2:
allele
dominant
recessive
genotype
phenotype
homozygous
heterozygous
dihybrid cross

Begin Ch 12.1

-Think & write/warm-up (review)...

 List five characteristics that are passed on in families. 

Also, name one characteristic that is inherited but that 

may also be influenced by behavior or environment. 

Some characteristics that can be passed on are eye, hair and skin color, and height. Some characteristics that are inherited but may also be influenced by behavior or environment are muscle size, body weight, and having a suntan.

Why It Matters...

Your genetic makeup influences your appearance, your abilities, and your health. We now know that many human traits have their origins in genes. As we come to understand how traits are inherited, we can use this information to better our lives.
