Week 7

Howdy Scientists!

Week 7 is here!  This week we will be looking at DNA Replication and the Central Dogma.  What is the Central Dogma?  It is the way we believe information is taken from DNA and made into proteins.  This is very technical information.  Please use the PowerPoints and animations to help you understand the information.

Week 6 - Genetics

Howdy Biologists!
This week we will be examining Genetics - Patterns of Inheritance.  For some of you this will be the most interesting section we cover.  

Please find the PowerPoints here:  http://www.mediafire.com/view/dpwuacgu4pnll3e/Biology_1_Chapter_9_Genetics.pdf 

Please refer to the syllabus for your assignments.  Since we are not in class for the handout here is the replacement assignment 10.  At the end of each section in your textbook is a "CHECK YOUR PROGRESS" section in blue of about two to three questions.  The answers are in the back of the book.  What is your assignment?  To do those questions.  Send them to me without looking at the back of the book.  Then...check your answers.  I am not going to grade you on right or wrong  If you have answers to all questions that are reasonable, you will receive full credit....I want you to do the exercises and understand.  

For those with still outstanding assignments - the deadline is Saturday night 11:59PM Pacific Time.  This includes everyone who was on AT.  Believe me, I am still catching up from the exercise too and am swamped, but it is time to turn everything so I can do my job for Columbia.  Please include a copy of your orders.  Thanks!
