week of 23 February

Hi there,
  It was wonderful to see all of you today!  While I didn't miss the workload of teaching, I did miss my students very much and am happy to reconnect with you all.  :)

  This week we'll be covering meiosis and then starting genetics.  Have your mitosis/meiosis thing done for class on Weds and I'll check it for a homework credit.  Then we'll do a quick review and start genetics.  If you want to get ahead of the game, you can start defining the terms on the "HBio - Genetics Terms" sheet, up through dihybrid cross.  I will do these quickly and having a base will help you follow along.

  Then we'll be discussing a variety of genetics problems (monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, sex-linked traits, codominance, incomplete dominance) and working with pedigrees.  You will get many, ungraded practice problems leading up to a graded practice set.  The exam on the genetics unit is on 16 March.  I will get the unit guide into your folder by next class.

  Please be patient with me vis a vis grading.  The Guatemala trip was INTENSE and I am still processing it.  I think grading will go slowly.  Thanks for understanding this.

  As always, come to AFT if you need help!  Ms. L
