Homework for Thursday
1. Diagram and ANNOTATE oogenesis using two pairs of homologous chromosomes.
Make one homologous pair a ‘squiggle’ pair and one a ‘straight stick’ pair.
Remember … your textbook has 2 different places of help and there are lots of images and video resources to help. But, you have to be choosy … not all diagrams are going to help you with this particular directive.
2. Please make sure that the backside of your genetic problem homework sheet is completed ( the pedigree charts) .
3. Because we are doing the Electrophoresis Lab on Thursday, please complete this BIOCOACH activit: Electrophoresis, Act. #3.
Please click the REVIEW link and work through the information there so you understand how this procedure works with fragments of DNA.
