If you were absent the day we talked about karyotypes, nondisjunction, or epigenetics; the powerpoints used to teach those concepts can be found at the link below.

Genetics Test Review

Below is a link for the test review we did in class on March 9th.


Class Instructions for March 10th

I had a family emergency last night that requires me to stay home today.  So the test has been postponed one day, we'll take the test on Friday when I am back.  Pigeonetics assignment will also be due on Friday now.

For today (Thursday) you should do the following:

1.  Finish watching any videos you haven't watched

2.  Work on your study packets

3.  Work on pigeonetics if you haven't finished it yet.

4.  Do research and work on the dog genetics assignment.


If you have done all of those things, there is a video clip on EdPuzzle from the movie Gattaca.  Gattaca is a science fiction movie where society has fully adopted genetic testing of all people.  Watch the 6 minute video clip and then answer the questions at the end.  The questions are open ended questions and I expect you to write at least 2 paragraphs worth for each question.

For everyone who hadn't completed their study packets, or hadn't studied enough for the test all I have to say is you got lucky once, don't count on it happening again.
