Beyond Mendel's Observation- In PDF form
To prepare for the Wednesday's class, try this dihybrid cross...
In mice, the ability to run normally is a dominant trait. Mice with this trait are called running mice (R). The recessive trait causes mice to run in circles only. Mice with this trait are called waltzing mice (r). Hair color is also inherited in mice. Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b).
Cross a heterozygous running, brown mouse with a heterozygous running, homozygous black mouse
Parent 1 genotypes ______________ ` Parent 2 genotypes ______________
Possible gametes _____ _____ _____ _____ Possible gametes _____ _____ _____ _____
Offspring phenotypic ratio ________________

Day Two Homologous chromosome.
1. View the video to the left so that you have a good understanding of homologous chromosomes vs sister chromatids. You only need to watch the first 1min 10 seconds - however watching longer will give you a sneak peak to meiosis. a. Using your own wording, explain homologous chromosomes & sister chromatids. b. Make a sketch of each so that you can recognize the difference. c. Come in ready to identify and make a model for each! (You do not need to bring in your own material... I will provide it for you.) |

Day 1 Mitosis- Cells dividing. Here in PDF form
For Wednesday: 1. View the video to the left. Mitosis should be a review from grade 10. (a) As you view, make a list of information that you learned about mitosis. (at least 5 points!) (b) What does Mr. W. indicate is the difference between a sister chromatid and a chromosome? |

Kingdom Protista- In PDF form
Watch the video a. Why did the narrator say that, "Biologists kinda use Protists as a garbage can?" Explain using an example. b. Explain, with examples, why protists are considered such a diverse kingdom. |

For Monday:
1. Here are Monday's notes in PDF on bacteria. 2. Viral text book review questions as asked pg 58 #3,#5-9 2. How can we tell one bacteria from another given they all look the same (or almost...). One way is to stain bacterial cells to see if they turn purple or pink. a) Watch the video to the left to see how we complete the Gram Stain. Create a flow chart showing the general steps. b) View the video to the right. What is different about some bacteria that they stain purple (+) or pink/red (-)? |

For Thursday's class:
1. Enjoy Mr. W's rap on viruses (video left). a. What are the two virus life cycles and how do they differ from each other? b. Note that HIV is an example of a retrovirus which is a specific type of lysogenic virus. 2. Here is our note on viruses in PDF FORM. |
WORK for Wednesday September 16
1. Review section 1.3 in your text (pp 24-28) 2. Complete 5-9 pg 30. 3. Individually you will create a dichotomous key for a group of beetles that I will give you in class. To help you prepare for your key, please review the names of the parts of beetle anatomy (see images on either side). You will not be tested on the names of the parts, but it will be helpful if you are familiar with the names. |
Note 3- Taxonomy and Dichotomous Keying. In PDF form ....
Work for Tuesday, September 15th 1. View the video to the left that shows how scientists use "Dichotomous Keys" to identify organisms. It is the main tool that taxonomists use. Be a responsible learner (!) and pause the video when directed to identify the leaves. a Did you have any problems identifying the leaves? b. Why is the term "Dichotomous" appropriate for this key? YOU DON'T NEED TO COPY THE SMILEY FACE KEY IN THE NOTE, BUT BE SURE TO TRY IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. |
