As students are about to embark upon the learning process of the DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, they will create their own word wall based upon the concepts and ideas that are to be discussed and reinforced in class for … Continue reading →

Students will be evaluated upon the principles of genetics in terms of the work that was put forth by the father of said topic, namely, Gregor Mendel. Furthermore, students will elaborate upon Mendel’s work through modern genetics through the use … Continue reading →

Students are to study, review, and practice upon the topic of genetics in terms of what we have learned as well as answer questions on page 188, #’s: 1, 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14. Furthermore, students are to … Continue reading →

Students will solve several genetic problems that are based upon the characteristics of heredity of parent or offspring using either a monohybrid cross or a dihybrid cross of a Punnett square for each problem to analyze their data and draw … Continue reading →

In this lab activity, students will repeat the mathematics of Mendel’s experiment, understand how modern biology has helped us to explain Mendel’s laws, and demonstrate and learn basic genetics. Students’ data will be collected and analyzed as well as reinforced … Continue reading →

Student are to complete their study guide on genetic crosses that is due tomorrow at the beginning of 4th hour. They will define and give an example of each: Complete Dominance, Incomplete Dominance, and Codominance. Moreover, they will demonstrate their … Continue reading →

We will discuss and elaborate upon the process of the possible production of offspring based upon their parental characteristics as well as we will discuss the various concepts connected with this process such as Punnett square, dominant, recessive, phenotype, genotype, … Continue reading →

We will discuss and reinforce the work of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, in terms of the work that he had done on the characterisitics of pea plants as well as elaborate upon his findings and conclusions.

As students undertake the study of heredity, they will define the first six of the thiry terms, construct a meaningful sentence upon each, and give an example of each where it’s applicable.

We will answer and correct our study guide on the cellular division process known as meiosis as well as examine the figures for the several stages of meiosis I & II. If time remains, we will do a comparative, characteristical … Continue reading →
