02 Oct – Grade 12 Biology

Good morning!  Here is the plan for today!

Finish Unit A with a Sex-Linked worksheet; see how mom gives her son baldness or colour blindness or diseases that a son cannot counteract with his shrimpy deficient Y Chromosome that his Dad gave him!

The quiz went somewhat OK, but only a 60% average though (but only 6 students wrote it!)  Do not miss too many quizzes.

Unit C – Evolution.  You were already issued the substantial reading package for Unit C Evolution.  Here is most of it: Chapter 16.

Of course there is Unit C – Study Guide to focus your thoughts.  And several worksheets to complete the next two weeks.

We already saw a quick movie about Evolution (11 Minutes) :  How Evolution Works.  We know how a couple can make babies having a variety of traits, but what if those traits are not good enough to survive!!??  Then those traits and alleles would slowly disappear  (over a couple million years)!  The population would evolve, make other species even!

Check out Bill Nye too of course as a good introduction:  Bill Nye – Evolution.

Marks go to the office (and funders) on Wednesday!  Get in some assignments if necessary!

NB:  I sanitized the room after a minor event.  However, now more than ever, it is so very important to keep healthy; get proper sleep, proper nutrition, comply with the guidelines to protect yourself, your family, and your class mates.  Some form of breakfast, other than an energy drink, is rather important too.
