Class of February 8th, 2011

In class on Tuesday we finished checking the Punnett Square Practice and More Punnett Square Practice worksheets, then received our group schedules for science day on Thursday, February 10th.

After we looked the schedules over, we started work on the trait portion of science day, collecting information from the class on phenotypes for several different characteristics, then noting them down and writing them on the board.

Our homework, which can be found on Moodle, is to read pages 92-96 and 110-121. These pages are on the topic of mitosis and meiosis, and pedigrees and karyotypes of genetic disorders. We will be required to participate in class discussion on these.
