Biology 12

Today we corrected our mutations worksheet.  Make sure you understand the difference between addition, substitution and deletion mutations in DNA.

Next we worked on our Practice Test for the DNA/Protein Synthesis Quest.

Last 45 minutes were devoted to the Genetics Power Point presentation

Biology 12

Today we finished our Transcription/ Translation Cuttin' and Pastin' activity
and turned in the Mutations Worksheet

From Gene to Protein transcription and translation worksheet is due tomorrow

Next we started a Genetics Project.  The Power Point presentations will begin on Wednesday, November 9th.

Biology 11

Today we marked pg. 223 #8-13

Next we completed the lab:  Representative Monerans.  All you needed to turn in was a drawing of two different bacteria samples.

We went through a handout on viruses and looked at the lytic and lysogenic cyles

Then we went to the IT lab and started our project on viruses

Remember that on Friday we have a quiz on bacteria and the Diversity and Biology of Monerans questions are due.  

Biology 12

Today we finished off the DNA unit by looking at mutations.  We took notes from the power point and then did a short worksheet on mutations.

Next we finished the cuttin' and pastin' DNA replication and protein synthesis.

For homework:  Finish the From Gene to Protein- Transcription and Translation

and Module questions on mutations. 

Biology 11

I collected by. 223 #8-13.   We marked the prokaryotes-bacteria sheet together.

Today we finished off bacteria by taking notes on germicides, antiseptics and antibiotics.

We also took brief notes on viruses

Homework:  Due on Friday -- The Diversity and Biology of Monerans

Biology 11

I collected the Prokaryotes Colouring and Questions sheet.

Today we looked at our Distribution of Bacteria Lab and described the colonies we saw. 

Homework:  Read pg. 221-223 and Do Questions #8-13 on pg. 223

Biology 12

Today we reviewed DNA transcription and translation.
