Per our class discussion on Monday, students are to utilize their allotted time wisely on Tuesday and Wednesday by drawing, labeling, coloring, and explaining the stages of meiosis I & II. They are to use the poster boards provided by … Continue reading →

We will discuss the assignment from last Friday on human genetics and elaborate upon it. Furthermore, we will discuss and take notes on the scheduled summative assignment for the next two days, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Once students have completed their study guide on Section 12.1, Chromosomes and Inheritance, they are to answer page 240, 1-9 on their notebooks as a further reinforcement of the subject matter.

Students will work in groups of three to demonstrate their understanding of various types of mutations that include chromosomal and gene mutations. Students will utilize colored paper clips to show examples of chromosomal mutations such as deletion, inversion, translocation, and … Continue reading →

We will complete our discussion on chromosomes and inheritance in terms of sex-linkage and chromosome mapping as well as chromosomal mutations and gene mutations. In the remaining time, we will reinforce our discussed topic further.

As a precursor to learning the subject matter on Inheritance Patterns and Human Genetics, students are to create a word wall that is based upon the several concepts and ideas that are presented in the chapter.

We will complete any DNA presentations, and we will wrap up this material by further reinforcing protein synthesis processes of transcription and translation prior to Easter break!

Student will be evaluated upon the discovery of the DNA molecule that was based upon the experimental works of Rosalind Franklin, Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, and Hershey and Chase. Furthermore, students will be evaluated upon the DNA replication process that … Continue reading →

Each student is expected to have completed the DNA project and is prepared to present it in front of the class. This assignment was given ten days ago with adequate time to complete the work as we have practiced and … Continue reading →

Students will work in groups of three to simulate the process of making proteins as they will use colored paper clips to represent their nitrogenous bases (as each is a component of a nucleotide) to demonstrate their understanding of the … Continue reading →
