Biology 2/10-2/13

Objective this week:  To apply the knowledge of genetic variation to an in-class lab activity using corn, and to understand "exceptions" to genetic rules through incomplete dominance.  Blood typing will also be discussed.

Monday
Corn kernel lab - dihybrid genetics

Tuesday
Review corn kernel lab; assignment from lab due today.  Discuss how to determine parental genotypes from this

Wednesday
Begin discussing incomplete dominance and codominant traits.  Specifically, discussion of blood types and the genetics behind them

Thursday
Discuss incomplete dominance and codominant traits
