9. Exit Question Congratulations, you are having a baby. Your baby can either have dominant dimples (C) or recessive no dimples (c). You are homozygous recessive, and your partner is homozygous dominant. What is the probable genotype AND phenotype of your child’s dimples? (Do a punnett square) Don’t Turn In

10. Wednesday 3/11 Learning Targets: 1) I can use Punnett Squares to predict the probability of the results of genetic crosses. Warm Up: 1) Round pea seeds (R) are dominant over wrinkled pea seeds (r). Make a punnett square to show the cross between a heterozygous round pea seed plant and a wrinkled pea seed plant. Agenda: 1) Dihybrid Crosses 2) Sex-linked Traits Homework: SQ3R 11-3 and page 268 (Due Friday)

11. Friday 3/13 (Free Seat) Agenda: 1) Check on your radishes 2) Sex-linked Traits ← Finish and Turn it In! Homework: 1) SQ3R 11-3 and page 268 ← Turn It In!

12. Wednesday 3/18 (Quiz Friday) Learning Targets: 1) I can describe exceptions to Mendel’s Principles of inheritance. Warm Up: 1) A person has the genotype AaBB. Their alleles are separated to produce eggs with AB and aB allele combinations. Which of Mendel’s Laws is this? a. Law of Dominanceb. Law of Segregation c. Law of Independent Assortment Agenda: 1) Beyond Mendel 2) Portfolio Work Homework: Ch 11-4 Section Assessment Questions (Due Friday)

13. Are you done? ● Turn in the worksheet ● Start working on your portfolio o If you need the portfolio instructions (YOU TREE HATER - stop losing papers), they are up front

14. Exit Question 1. Sweat glands are carried on the X chromosome. G allele = sweat glands g allele = no sweat glands An X G X g mother has a child with a X G Y father. What are the chances that they will have a child of any sex who does not have sweat glands. 2. What is the possible gametes (sperm or egg) for an individual with the genotype GgRr? Show me before leaving for AT

15. Friday 3/20 - Quiz Today! ● During the quiz: desks cleared of everything but the test and a pencil. ● During the quiz: NO BATHROOM BREAKS ● When you are finished with the quiz: o Turn in completed quiz to Ms. Crocker o Please stay quiet out of respect for fellow classmates o You may listen to music quietly, but the phone needs to stay out of sight

16. Monday 3/23 Learning Targets: 1) I can describe the relationship between genes and chromosomes. 2) I can contrast the chromosome number of body cells and gametes. Warm Up: 1) A human embryo (fertilized egg) has 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes do you think the mom gives and how many chromosomes do you think the dad gives? Agenda: 1) Meiosis Notes 2) Meiosis Simulation 3) Meiosis vs. Mitosis Poster Homework: Two finished portfolio reflections by end of class Wednesday.

17. Exit Question 1.Describe the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes. 1.If an organism has a diploid number of 2N=12 (there are 12 chromosomes in its body cells), how many chromosomes will be in each gamete after meiosis has occured? Check with Ms. Crocker to leave for AT

18. Wednesday 3/25 Learning Targets: 1) I can compare and contrast the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis. Warm Up: 1) What is crossing over, and how does it lead to variation? Agenda: 1) Meiosis vs. Mitosis Poster 2) Portfolio Work Homework: Two finished portfolio reflections by end of class today.

19. Exit Question How does fertilization (the combination of sperm and egg) lead to differing characteristics in offspring?
