Biology (Period Per. 6) Assignments

Hi,  I hope you guys are studying!!  Make sure to study protein synthesis!  AND, all the vocab that goes with genetic engineering.  It's called biotechnology on the study guide!  See you tomorrow.  Mrs. Russo

Hi!  I hope you are studying!!!!  :)  Don't stay up late on Sunday night!  Your brain needs sleep to refresh for the next day and to absorb all of the studying you have hopefully been doing.  See you Monday.  Mrs. Russo

All second semester assignments must be turned in by 3:15, Thursday, June 4th..  That is this Thursday.  No late work will be accepted after that date.

 

 

2nd and 6th:  remember to bring any late work and frog lab.

 

All classes, attached are the part 1 and part 2 semester final study guides AND a PPT of a practice test.

 

STUDY!!!

We will be doing the frog dissections tomorrow (June 2).  Please bring gloves if you have them and make sure to bring both frog papers that you received in class last Friday.

 

You should be studying for the final!!  Use the study guides posted a couple of weeks ago!  I have one key if you would like to check your answers in class.

 

above is the link to the sheep eye dissection if you want to watch it again

 

here is a link to learn more information about the eye before we attempt the dissection:

 

 

Attached is the reading material you should read over before the lab!!!  Please read this tonight!

 

Also attached is the Eye Dissection Lab Sheet incase you were absent today.

 

Try to bring some latex gloves!!!!

Three seperate options for supplemental points:

 

1.  Research EPIGENETIC.  Write a one page, double spaced paper defining epigenetics and giving at least two specific examples.

 

2.  One page two of the GATTACA papers there are several questions titled What Are Your Thoughts and Deep Thought.  Read over those questions and pick one to really focus on.  Write a one page, double spaced paper responding to the question.  It would be great if you included quotes from discussing your questions with your peers or family members.

 

3.  Write a one page reflection on GATTACA.  This would not be a movie summary but more like your thoughts and feelings, surprises, how it relates to our studies, what your believe will happen in your future, if you would like to pick your future spouse by their "ladder", .......

Attached are the final exam study guides.  I don't have a key to post!!!

 

I am trying to get a copy of the KEY so you can come in and check your answers.

Please bring your GATTACA page 2 and your reproduction reading sheet to class on Friday.

To those of you who did the supplemental research on the calico cats:  I wanted to share these photos of my family pet, Rosabell.  She passed away last year at the age of 14.  She was a beautiful calico.

 

Hopefully the photo will open!!!  (My daughter posted this collage on Instagram when Rosabell died.....

Bring your Genetics Research Project, Human Reproduction reading sheet, and page 2 of the GATTACA study guide.

 

If you have not completed the Inheritance Test you need to do so by the end of the day on Wednesday.

Inheritance Test!

7th Period: You might not have all the papers.  You can work on this Thursday.

Someone said the Study Guide and the KEY didn't match up!!!  

 

Here is a different study guide and a KEY!  You may use either Study Guide for your homework packet OR due both for supplemental points.

 

BUT, DO NOT LOOK AT THE KEY UNTIL YOU TRY TO USE YOUR BRAIN FIRST!!!!

Inheritance Test tomorrow (Monday, May 18).  STUDY!!  Organize your homework packet.  Remember #13 needs to be the Genetic Problems #1.

 

Genetics Research Project due too.

 

 

Check out this study guide for the Pedigree Analysis.  It might be better than the other one!!!!

Genetics Research Project.  See attached document.  We will go over this assignment in class.  Just wanted to give you a heads up.  AND, for supplemental points:  using the same disease/disorder create a short (5 minute max) PPT presentation including type of inheritance, symptoms, images/short video, current research.....  :)

Here are some study guides for the final exam!!!  Start studying NOW!!  

 

PLUS!!  This would be a great time to turn in missing work.  No missing work will be accepted the week before finals.

 

***  Feel free to stop by room 213 after school if you need help in Inheritance!!!!

Hi!  Here are some answer keys!!  I think you should have all the previous ones.

For the test tomorrow you need to revisit transcription and translation from the last unit, protein synthesis.  

I am posting the Cell Cycle Study Questions now.  The test isn't scheduled until March 19/20 but I wanted you to have plenty of time to study.  I would recommend you start now and work on some every day.  Please don't wait until March 18 to panic about the Cell Cycle test.  

Questions to ponder:

 

Think about what happens when a mutation has been detected that leads to cell arrest.   What are some possible consequences for the cell?  Make sure to understand what is happening during and after each consequence.  

 

(cyclins, p53, apoptosis, excision repair, ...)

 

 

Attached is another version of the Cell Cycle Study Questions.  The key is at the end of the document.  Please start reviewing NOW so you can bring your questions to class BEFORE test day.  5th period will take the test on 3/19 and 2,4,7 will take the test on 3/20.  Please study!!!
