7th+Science+E+Block

EXAM is on Tuesday! Your Darwin journals are due on Tuesday. Look back over the rubric on the back side of the journal. Your writing should be from Darwin's point of view at that particular time.

Study guide for Exam review:

Classwork (6/1):

Here are the answers to the review page!

To help you study for the quiz! I will post answers to the practice worksheet on Sunday evening. Look back over your notes from ‘DNA structure and Replication’, Protein synthesis (keynote is also there) and your worksheets on ‘genetic disorders’, ‘mutations’ and ‘adavanced genetics’. Catalysts that cover this material begin on May 12th. Quiz on Ch. 6 (DNA and Genes) will be on Tuesday (6/1). It will be short and sweet and I will have a review sheet up tonight. Continue to add to your entries on Darwin and add illustrations to the entries.

Block E final exam is Tuesday, June 8th. I will post a review sheet over the weekend. It will cover all of second semester.

HW due Friday(5/28): Ch. 7, section 1

Classwork (5/25):

Use the website given to read and locate information about these diseases. (It may not tell you outright what type of inheritance it is but you can deduce by reading the information given).

Quiz on Thursday (5/13): it will cover complex patterns of inheritance, meiosis and pedigrees. You should be able to identify and solve each of the various types of inheritance (incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, polygenic inheritance and sex-linked inheritance), understand the importance of meiosis and how it differs from mitosis, be able to answer questions and interpret a pedigree.
