TURN IN YOUR GENETICS PRACTICE TEST!!

Today we extracted DNA from strawberries and kiwis.   We got lots of DNA since strawberries are octoploid (8 sets of chromosomes).   See the video below to review the science.

Next we did some practice genetics questions and played some kahoots to review punnett squares and genetics.  Here is a good kahoot to practice with.

Science 10

Today we practiced the concept of evolution by natural selection.  We answered some questions about giraffe evolution found HERE. 

Next we worked on the practice test for the genetics unit test coming up on Monday, March 9th.   This is due on Wednesday.

Biology 12

Today we wrote our module quiz on the transport across cell membranes.  (Module B and C from cell membrane and transport)

Next we watched a short enzyme video and got the enzyme module questions.  Reminder that your test on cell membrane and transport is coming up on Tuesday.   Potato lab is due on Friday.   

Science 10

Today we took some notes on evolution by Natural Selection.   Next we answered some questions about natural selection in different animal populations.  Questions are HERE.   We got a review for the Biology test---To be held next week. 

Biology 12

Today we discussed active transport and watched the quick video below

Next we worked on our Potato Lab.  Make sure your graph on Excel has two best fit lines and that you calculate the x intercept to determine concentration of solute in potato or yam cytoplasm. 

Science 10

Today we had a quick quiz on PUNETT Squares.  Next we made Alien Babies based on the parents genotype and phenotype.  Assignment is HERE.   Finally we watched What Darwin Never Knew.  from NOVA

Biology 12

Today we took a module quiz on section A of cell membrane and transport module questions.  Next we watched these two fabulous amoeba sisters videos explaining osmosis and diffusion...and we had some question sheets to answer to go along with these.
