A lot coming down the line for next week:
1. Have a rough draft pedigree drawn of one side of your family (3 generations). Only circles and squares. With names and find out phenotypes for your trait. That means you may need to call some family members this weekend to find out some things! Pedigree Project is due April 1st (Tuesday after spring break. And I know that's April Fool's but this is no joke!)
2. Quiz on Tuesday on Punnett squares. I would Study the Punnett Square worksheets you have, study the following vocabulary: phenotype, genotype, dominant, recessive, punnett square, genes, alleles, heterozygous, homozygous. Make up problems, have your parents make up problems or study with a friend and make up problems for each other! Here's a helpful video A Beginner's Guide to Punnett Squares
3. On Monday your Day 1 of Dogbreeding Worksheet is due (All of it needs to be completed!)

- I will be having a study session on Monday during lunch and also after school. You should come if you are struggling.
- If you will be gone for choir or band on Tuesday it is your responsibility to make this quiz up.

There will be a test on Friday on pages 124-141 in your text.
Vocab! Vocab! Vocab! That is essentially what you'll be tested on. Punnett squares will be included but not pedigrees.
What can you do to prepare? Flashcards! Do pages 132-133, and pages 140-141. Complete problems 1-2, 4-5 and 8 on page 145.
Also we'll be starting a pedigree project before spring break. You will have a couple of days to work on it before break (in class), and 1-2 days after spring break. More on this coming soon!

PUNNETT SQUARE MADNESS!!!
The last few days we've been learning about genetics and how to figure out probabilities of certain traits for the possible offspring from two parents. If you're interested in learning more go to youtube.com and type in "Bozeman Science punnett squares" there are many good videos to watch about how to draw a simple punnett square and genetics in general.
