Learning Target Students will predict probability of offspring outcomes using Punnett Squares

Twig

Mendel Trait that appears in 2nd generation is dominant; trait that is “hidden” is recessive There are 2 copies (allele) of each gene for each characteristic For each characteristic, offspring receive one allele from each parent and end up with 2 alleles of its own

New Glossary Allele: one of two or more different forms of a gene (T or t ) Homozygous: organism with only 1 kind of allele for a characteristic (TT or tt for tail color) Heterozygous: organism with 2 different alleles (Tt or tT for tail color) Carrier: individual heterozygous for a recessive trait (Tt for tail color)

Tuesday Feb 9, 2016 Planner: – HW: Finish/review Activity 61 and vocabulary You Need: – Today: Daily 5 Do Now: Open your Activity 61 to page 2 and finish the problem on the bottom “generation 3 cross” and we will go over it together in 3 minutes.

Tuesday Feb 9, 2016 Planner: – HW: Finish/review Activity 61 and vocabulary You Need: – Today: Daily 5 Do Now: Open your Activity 61 to page 3 and work/finish the problem on the top of page 3 “Rosy and Ralph” and we will go over it together in 3 minutes.

Learning Target We will predict the probability of offspring outcomes using Punnett Squares

Punnett Square - model Possible alleles (form of gene) donated one parent along the top Possible alleles donated by the other parent along the side Remember an underlined uppercase letter is used for the allele for the dominant trait and a lowercase letter is use for the allele for the recessive trait

Thursday Feb 11, 2016 Planner: – HW: Finish Activity 55/62 You Need: – Today: Daily 5 Do Now: Open NB to Activity 55/62 so we can complete the investigation

Learning Target We will analyze plants to determine how traits are inherited

Group Data - 10 mins C’s get your petri dish for group Observations - drawing and written Complete Data Table for group

Class Data Everyone needs to have group data written down One person will share to collect our class data

Investigative Question - Explain How does the color of a plant’s parent stem and leaf color affect the color of the offspring’s stem and leaves? Look at your prediction and discuss if it was correct or not.

FINISHED? Check your TOC Check your glossary - study the words Study your knowledge map - especially genetics!

HW: Finish questions and additional reflection about the investigative question and your prediction. PUSH IN YOUR CHAIR PLEASE!!!

Woolly Mammoth Article trim/tape onto p. 196 Claim: Evidence: Reasoning:

Woolly Mammoth Article Claim: The Woolly mammoth should not be cloned. Evidence: According to Dr. Herridge: 1.The Asian elephant would have to be in captivity to be egg donor - not typical 2.The Woolly Mammoth might harm the elephant - dangerous 3.Mammoths prefer to live in herds 4.Scientists learn from frozen mammoth DNA Reasoning:

Woolly Mammoth Article Reasoning: The Woolly mammoth should not be cloned because it would cause significant issues for the mammoth as well as the mother. Neither animal is happy in the captivity that would be needed for the cloning. In addition, the mammoth could be dangerous to the elephant.
