Objectives: Using examples of monohybrid crosses, practice and Apply the principles of Mendelian genetics
What we did:
Make-up work: take the quiz when you return, and show me the completed part of your "Monohybrid" packet. time to work on packet. Objectives: Practiced the skill of determining genotype, phenotype, and genotypic/phenotypic ratios of parents and their offspring using Punnet Squares in a monohybrid cross.
What we did:
Make-up Work: turn in 11.2 Applying Mendel's Principles Reading Packet to the Make-up work folder Over 50% of people absent for Spanish field trip. Study Hall.
DUE WEDNESDAY 11.2 Applying Mendelian Genetics Reading Guide Objectives:
Objectives: learn about the principle of dominance
What we did:
Objectives: Introduce the concept of Mendelian genetics
What we did:
Make-up work: Complete the Inventory of Mendelian Taits (don't forget the four words you have to define on that paper). Read the slides that you missed and complete the reading guide up to question #9. Objectives: Share and learn about a variety of conditions that have a genetic cause.
What we did: We took time in class to turn in the "Genetic Disease Project" and then each student briefly shared with the class something about his or her project. Then we handed back the Unit Test-- gave a chance to ask questions, check for mis-grading, and earn back disputed points. Make-up work: Turn in your Genetic Disease Project on Google Classroom. Objectives: introduce the terms dominant and recessive. Explore the different genetic diseases that can arise from genetic mutations.
What we did: We defined the two terms Dominant and Recessive (because they were on the rubric and we haven't talked about them yet). These are the notes that I asked everyone to put at the bottom of their Genetic Disease Project rubric: Notes The rest of the time was a workday to make progress on the Genetic Disease Project (Google Classroom), which is due Tuesday at the beginning of the period. HW: Finish Genetic Disease Project (Google Classroom) Objectives: Ensure correct understanding of DNA Mutations types and introduce project to learn about Genetic Diseases
While you were gone: We went over the correct answers from The DNA Mutations Practice Worksheet. Your grade was given for completion. We also handed back yesterday's In-class assignment completed during our reading. Instructions: Go to Google Classroom and open the assignment "Genetic Disease Project" Follow the instructions to 1) choose a topic from the list provided (making sure you are not doing the same topic as anyone else by checking on the google doc that has everyone's topics) and 2) read the rubric for creating a Google Slides of your chosen Genetic Disease Topic. Get started! This is due Tuesday! Make sure you email me your topic or let me know when you come back to class so I can approve it. HW: DUE TUESDAY Genetic Diseases Project (you will have Friday to work on it in class, and that is it. So it's only homework if you need more time) Objectives: Connect your understanding of the gene-to-protein process to how DNA mutations can result in genetic disorders. Become familiar with three common genetic disorders and what advantage it is to carry the mutated allele.
