Return tests & notebooks/ grade check in/ extra credit

-Return Tests & Notebooks

-Test retakes

-Check your biology grade in Synergy
On a half sheet of paper, write down your current grade and any work you are missing. Be prepared to show it to me next Tuesday in class.

-Study Guide for the final will be available by next Tues

-Extra Credit opportunity: 
Watch COSMOS Episode 1: A Spacetime Odyssey (45mins)

and complete worksheet by next Friday, June 3rd.

No school Monday - Happy Memorial Day!

Genetics/Heredity Unit Test

Genetics/Heredity Chapter Test today! 

-Use first 15 minutes of class to study for your test and finish up notebooks

-Turn in interactive notebook for 50 points

-Test taking procedures:
*Try your best, take your time, & stay focused
*No talking (everyone deserves a quiet testing environment)
*No personal electronic devices while testing
*When finished, bring your test up to me and then read, do homework, listen to music quietly.

GENETICS/HEREDITY STUDY GUIDE

Catch Up day; Finish Traits Lab

WARM UP: 5/19/16 (left side)
Draw a Punnett square to determine the possible genotypes of offspring based on the parents' genotypes:
1. Cross a heterozygous parent with a homozygous dominant parent for eye color. Let B stand for dominant brown eyes and b stand for recessive blue eyes. What percentage of offspring will have blue eyes? 
2. Cross a homozygous dominant parent with a homozygous recessive parent for the widow's peak trait. Let W stand for widow's peak (dominant) and w stand for no widow's peak (recessive). What percentage of offspring will have widow's peaks?

Continue Determination of Genotypes from Phenotypes in Humans Lab  (Traits Lab) Due by end of class today for 20 points

Learning Objective: I can determine my own possible genotypes from my phenotypes.

TIPS TO HELP YOU WITH TRAITS LAB:

-cilantro tasting trait is not yet determined to be dominant or recessive, so do not include it in your list of traits in the analysis questions.

-remember that hair texture, inter-eye distance, and lip protrusion are all traits that are neither dominant or recessive, they are incompletely dominant traits

-for #8 look at page 1 in the second paragraph where we highlighted together

Punnett Square Review; Traits Lab

WARM UP (left side) 5/17/16
1. __________ are different variations of a gene and are represented by a letter.
2. A capital letter means ________ and a lower case is ________.
3. If an offspring has one dominant and one recessive allele it is called ___________.
4. If an offspring has two of the same allele it is called _________.
5. Draw a Punnett square cross of a homozygous dominant parent with a heterozygous parent and show the possible genotypes of the offspring. (Any letters will do.) What is the percentage of homozygous dominant offspring? Of heterzygous offspring?

Announcements:
-3 weeks left to complete work!
-This week: assembly Wednesday, tutorial Thursday

Learning Objective: I can determine my own possible genotypes from my phenotypes.

Ch 12 Heredity: Punnett Squares; 12.3 Active Reading

-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. 

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.


Ch 12: Origins of Hereditary Science 

Learning Objective: I can explain how genetic traits are 

passed from one generation to another.


Vocabulary terms:

allele - different variations of a gene

dominant - an allele that is fully expressed when present

recessive - an allele that is expressed only in the absence of a dominant allele

genotype - combinations of alleles in an individual

phenotype - physical traits that result from genotype

homozygous - two identical alleles of a gene

heterozygous - two different alleles of a gene
