Quiz - Moved to Wednesday

Good Afternoon,
Sorry I'm not in class today, I'm at home with the stomach flu :( I'd much rather be at school.

So please work on the following items and use the links on the right to correct the genetics questions that you choose to practice.

1) Take 15  minutes to finish the two multiple allele questions that we didn't get to yesterday.  Then choose from the questions that are *(star) A and *B or *A and *C.  You can try dihybrids that include multiple alleles (i.e. blood types) and codominance and/or regular dominance.  Try two of these.
** Please check your answers.  We'll do a study session tomorrow at lunch to review dihybrids and othe practice questions.

2) Next you will work on your Body System's project (the sub will hand out a summarized version that just focuses on you choosing a disease or disorder that is of interest or importance to you.)  You do have this assignment already but I thought a narrowed down version would be less confusing. 
- Today you need to select a topic and let the sub know.
- Start your disease research
**Remember to cite your sources

- Please assemble the final product into google pres or google doc to share with me.

- Today will count as one of your work days, so please use your time wisely.

SUB - Provincial Track

1) Complete the practice Dihybrid Cross Questions
- you can self correct the questions here and then hand into the sub with the corrections and the questions that you have. Answer check

2) Complete the Genetic Traits Survey - Turn to the chart on page three and just complete the chart.  On Monday we will go through this and see how unique you are.

3) Search for informatin on the various stages of Mitosis and Meiosis.
- consult the worksheet for suggested focus areas.

***Please note that if you are struggling with the four questions, you can check the answer key posted. If you are still stuck, review your dihybrid cross notes.
- If you are still not sure, try the four questions and hand in what you have.  On the page leave me a note about which part you are struggling with, so that I can plan for Monday.
- Then move on to the traits survey and Mitosis and Meiosis.  Please don't spend all of your time waiting on Dihybrids.
