I will be in a conference on these three days.
On Monday, you will be coloring a DNA model
On Tuesday you will be working on a vocab crossword puzzle (should be really easy if you use your notebook!)
If you happen to get done early, you will be reading an article about domesticating foxes in Russia.
On Wednesday you will watch a Life episode about Birds
(if you are absent any of these days, talk to me on Thurs or Fri)
Mrs. Strong's Biology 2011-12
“In a world filled with the products of scientific inquiry, scientific literacy has become a necessity for everyone” (National Science Standards, pg. 1). The study of Biology allows students to discover scientific understandings through an inquiry-based approach. Science is a process; it is not necessarily about getting the correct answer but about the reliability and validity of the data collected.

Oompa Loompa genetics pages are review of everything we have done (basic monohybrid crosses & dihybrid crosses)
Incomplete dominance

Remember
Dihybrid Cross Problems
Directions: For each of the described situations, complete the following:
A.) List the genotype of each parent described
B.) Use a Punnett square to predict the possible outcomes of a cross between the 2 parents.
C.) List the genotypes and the number of that genotype present in the offspring for each cross (can write as a ratio).
D.) List the phenotypes and the number of that phenotype present in the offspring for each cross (can write as a ratio).
Additional Dihybrid problems (goes on page 29 -- use page 30 to show work)
