Students will elaborate upon human genetics in terms of identifying different genetic disorders and give examples upon them. Moreover, they will analyze a pedigree, complex characters, and elaborate upon how certain traits are passed on to the next generation through individuals known as carriers. Furthermore, they will distinguish between sex-linked and sex-influenced as well as be able to solve critically a genetic problem to determine the blood types and the genotypes of the parents and the offspring. Additionally, they will examine the role of genetic counselors as these medical professionals explain to prospective couples who wish to conceive a child through the genetic screening processes known as amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling that can aid the couple to make informed decision about having an offspring or the proper steps to take in order to have a child throughout their relationship.
FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2013 TEST: STOICHIOMETRIC CALCULATIONS!
Students will be evaluated upon their comprehension and ability skills of the stoichiometric process as they will show that they can convert moles to moles, moles to mass, and mass to mass through the quantitative analysis process that is applied through chemical equations.

Study Guide, Section 12.2: Human Genetics
After a brief recap of our human genetics discussion from Monday, we will reinforce this topic by completing a study guide upon it in terms of analyzing inheritance pattern disorders, differentiating among characteristics based upon human genetics, and through critical thinking, solve a problem on ABO blood typing by determining the blood types and genotypes of the children and the parents based upon given information!

Further Reinforcement: Stoichiometry Problems!
Last Friday, the chemistry students had a chance to practice on the assignment titled “Stoichiometry Problems”. Since their assignment has consisted of two forms: “FORM A” and “FORM B”, they are to switch forms, and each student is to do the form that he or she did not do last Friday.
