There is a substantial amount of vocabulary in this chapter and in order to successfully solve the problems, you need to be able to understand the questions. Below is a list of the vocab and concepts we have covered so far.
| homologous chromosomes gene allele gene locus (loci) geneotype phenotype Autosomal dominant disorder Incomplete dominance Heterozygous Test Cross Monohybrid cross Dominant Law of Segregation Law of Independent Assortment P, F1, F2 etc. generations | Pleiotropy Recessive Pedigree chart Codominance Autosomal recessive disorder Homozygous Genotypic Ratio Polygenic trait Carrier Sex-linked traits Genetic Disorders Chorionic Villus Sampling Achondroplasia Probability Phenotypic Ratio |
On Friday we will be starting Meiosis and learning more about crossing over and the importance of genetic variation. On Monday we will do a 'dry lab' and make baby dragons.
Since you have already had to read section 11.4, there is no homework for Friday. However, you would benefit from re-reading the section if you were confused.
