Because there are a few seniors in my biology class who will need to take the last test early, I’m posting all of the presentations for our Evolution unit at the same time. The Test isn’t until June 14:

The test is Tuesday, May 16. Among other class materials handed out, you may also find this review helpful:

We also took notes on blood type.

We looked at more Mendelian genetics today, using dihybrid crosses to understand the principle of Independent Assortment. Here are the notes that went along with the practice:

Here is our first set of notes for genetics. Our first quiz is still a few classes away as we do some lab work and Punnett Square practice.

If you need some additional help and reminders with Punnett Squares, please view the following video:

Here is the last of the notes for the test that will be on 4/11/17:

Make sure that you study!

We spent time today taking notes on Meiosis. Though the test is not directly after spring break, make sure that you are aware of upcoming dates so that you are prepared.
