12/19 meiosis

(---Human Karyotype)


In-Class:
Students participated in "legal" note passing in order to study meiosis, pp.92-96. Some classes had the opportunity to create Popsicle stick Mom and Dad in order to demonstrate the passing of genetic traits through the sex chromosomes. (See text p. 92)
Homework:
Read and study genetics through p. 96.





Many students expressed interest in genetic disorders. A good site is http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/units/disorders
