Tuesday February 23rd - Continue with Punnett Squares and assessment

Today we continued with a look at heredity and the use of both Punnett squares and pedigrees in predicting parental and offspring genotypes.

Our goals for today were really the same as yesterday - we just went one step deeper today.

Daily Questions were a nice intro to terms such as "true breeding", "Self pollinating", and "Cross Pollinating."  It also provided an introduction on how to map out a pedigree.

We then moved into a bit of notes.  Today's notes were more of just a focus on terminology.  Genetics really has it's own language and I at least want you to be familiar with some of these terms.

You had the last 10 minutes or so to begin on the "Heredity and Punnett Square Intro"  worksheet.  You will have a bit of time tomorrow to work through this as well.

Take care my friends!
