Spongebob Genetics

Bell Work ( on page 119) 
 A cross between a black cat and a tan cat produces a tabby pattern (black and tan together).
 

•  What pattern of inheritance does this show?
• What percent of kittens would have tan fur if a tabby cat (BT) is crossed with a black cat (BB)? (Hint: use a Punnett square).

Today you will be able to use what we learned about Dominance of Alleles to do practice problems.  Click here for the problems. 
 You will white board your answers and then show them.   
REMINDER: Please bring in the permission slips for the video taping!!  

Types of Dominance

More Bell Work but on your whiteboard.  

What do you notice about the flowers?
 Write down at least 2 observations.

Tape Dominance of Alleles onto 125.  

• In groups of 2, one person will read about Incomplete dominance and the other co-dominance.
• After reading it you will explain it to each other. 

For those that were gone yesterday:

•     Read yesterday's blog for what we did.
•     There are problems to be taped into your notebook.  

 

Practice Problems

 Bell Work -continued on page 119

 Suppose Mendel had made his observations a few decades later when there as more widespread knowledge of chromosomes throughout the scientific community.  How do you suppose this may have impacted the development of his theory? 

 It is going to be a PUN-tastic day.  Today we are working on more Punnett square problems.  
  Problems 1-3 goes on page 122
  Problem 4  goes on page 123. 

 

Mendel Continued

Bell Work on page 119

How are the concepts of DNA, genes, proteins and traits related to one another?


The objective for today:  

• be able to explain Mendel's work.
• understand Mendel's Laws 

 Tape worksheets onto page 120-121. 
Notebook check today!!!!


 

GLEEPS

Bell Work - on white boards.
  In  groups of two answer the following question on a white board:
      From the data hunt yesterday, 16 people had the dominate gene that allows them to curl their tongue.  Only 2 did not.  Why?  

• Write a 1 to 2 sentence explanation using the vocab from yesterday.  
• At the end of activity you will have a chance to change your answers.  
• You will share out your answers to the class.

Notebook check has been moved to Monday (because I am nice).  It is on pages 96-101!!!!

Objective today:
   In groups of 2 you will use GLEEPS (beans) to predict the inheritance of traits.  

•   Tape the worksheets on pages 117 and 118.

 
Answer the following question: 

One cat carries heterozygous, long-haired traits (Ss), and its mate carries homozygous short-haired traits (ss). Use a Punnett square to determine the probability of one of their offspring having long hair.
  

Starting Mendel

 Bell Work on page 115 
      Can people share common traits (characteristics)?

Reminder: Notebook check tomorrow!!!!
Place vocabulary sheet on page 116.

SSA for DNA

 BW on page 115
    What does gamete mean?  (Hint: Meiosis and Mitosis)


Today you will be working on the Student Self Assessment for the DNA test.  Log into Canvas and complete the assignment.
 Remember notebook check this Friday!!!  

DNA Test

 No Bell Work.  
The DNA test is today!!!  Log onto Canvas for the test. 
  
There will be a notebook check this Friday.  Only pages 96-101 will be checked.  The other pages will be checked but it will be chunked.  Here is a complete list of what we have done. 

Pg 96: Bell Work for Jan 19th-23rd
Pgs 97-98 DNA Structure Lab
Pg 99 Bell Work for Jan 26th-30th
Pgs 100-101 Photo 51 Movie Questions
Pg 102 Bell Work for Feb. 2nd-7th 
Pg 103 DNA Replication Notes
Pg 104 Transcription and Translation Foldable 
Pgs 105-111 Protein Synthesis Activity
Pg 112 Bell Work 9th-13th
Pgs 113-114  Mitosis and Meiosis Worksheet

Starting Mitosis and Meiosis

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!
 







 BW ( on page 112)

What is the difference between  inversion mutation and translocation mutation?

Today's Agenda:

• Reminder DNA test moved to Tuesday!!! Use the Student Self Assement to know what topics will be on the test.
• We are starting (finally) mitosis and meiosis. 
• Mitosis/Meiosis  coloring sheets SHOULD already be taped into your notebook on pages 113-114

Quiz

BW ( page  112)

What are the start and stop codons on mRNA? 

We are working on self assessments for the quiz from yesterday.  Go to Canvas for the assignment. Also, starting meiosis and mitosis.  Click here for the power point. 

Click here for directions on how to complete test corrections to be eligble to recover the standards

Codons

BW (page  112)
During translation, tRNA attaches complementary  base pairs to the mRNA strand. tRNA also has an amino acid attached.  

Use the codon chart to find the correct amino acid. 

(Hint: 3 base pairs = 1 codon) 
 GUUACUGAA 

There is a quiz on Canvas.  We are also moving on to cellular division ( mitosis and meiosis).  
  

Mutation Picture

Here is the picture showing the types of mutations.

More Transcription and Translation

BW for today (continue from last weeks BW page 102)
    We are learning about DNA translation and transcription.   What comes first?  Translation or Transcription?    
(Hint:  DNA---> RNA------>Proteins)



The objective for today is :

1. Learn about types of mutations.
2. Finish transcription and translation activity ( AKA popbeads)
3. Take DNA Quiz on Canvas.  DO NOT log on until until we are ready.  It will be done towards the end of class. 

Remember : Test on Friday 

Protein Synthsis Activity

BW (pg 102)

• In transcription and translation what nucleotide is different? (Hint: RNA) 

 Next Friday the 13th (dun...dun)  there is going to be a test over DNA.  

The goal for today is to create a model of protein synthesis.  You will "work" your way through:

• Replication
• Transcription 
• Translation
• Proteins 

Please tape the worksheets in your note book on pages 105-108.  

Translation and Transcritption Con't

BW ( pg 102)

What does it mean to transcribe something?
What does it mean to translate?


Continue working on the foldables. 

Transcription and Translation

BW (continue on page 102) 
What are the 3 enzymes used in replication?
Click here for link to replication video

Today you will be designing an outline of the steps of transcription and translation.  
Include a decricption of

• processes involved
• the location (where in the cell) of these processes 
• results of protein synthesis.  

You will work in groups and use a foldable to organize your outlines. Groups will be assigned transcription or translation. The setup for the foldable will be shown in class and please tape it on page 103.  

Use the textbook or the links listed below to investigate transcription or translation.
