9/22/09 Notes and Power point presentation on Mitosis and Meiosis.
9/24/09 Complete worksheet identifying Mitosis and Meiosis phases. Use given prepared slides to draw each of the phases and calculate amount of time spent in each of the phases. Complete Mitosis and DNA questions.
9/25/09 DNA extraction Lab and Mitosis Slides:
DNA Extraction: Why is it that you can see the extracted DNA?
What bonds in the DNA are broken during the hot water bath?
If you had to pick 2 places in the body to extract DNA where would be the easiest? Where would you get the most DNA?
Onion Mitosis: What are the ratios for each of the phases of Mitosis that you observed?
hint: # of cells counted for _____ phase divided by
# of total cells that were counted x 100
Be sure to draw each phase of Mitosis as seen in your observed cells.
By looking at your ratios, which phase does the cell spend the longest in and which phase does it spend the least amount of time in?
9/28/09 Substitute Students to define vocab for Chapter 10. Read chapter
9/29/09 Review of Chapter 10 terms.

Classification of animals Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species.
Man's: Animalia Chordata Mammalia Primate Hominidae Homo sapien
Chapter 5 Cells:
Know all the organelles of an animal cell (no need to worry about the plant cell structures).
Starts on pg. 73 Mitochondria, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosome, Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth and rough)
Ribosomes, Nucleus, Nucleolus, Microtubules,
Pg. 99-103 Cell Division Mitosis and Meiosis
Know all the phases and what occurs within each phase
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Pg. 98 Cell Cycle S1, G1, G2 and how much time is spent in each one (relative time not actual)
Pg. 117 DNA Structure. Be able to draw a section of DNA. Understanding of DNA used at a crime scene.
+ your notes Restrictive enzymes and how they break down DNA to smaller pieces
Pg 122-131 Protein Synthesis Know the whole process from DNA in the cell to ribosomes making an actual protein to be sent out of the cell. DNA to mRNA to Ribosomes to Amino Acids to protein chains.
Know Transcription and Translation
Evolution-- Random Mutations Deletion, Addition, and Translocation of A, T, C, G. Be able to translate a strand of DNA into RNA and use the chart to find which Amino Acid it codes for. (pg 123)
Pg. 106 Genetics Prokaryote (no nucleus) and Eukaryote cells (also know stem cells and where they are from)
+ your notes Be able to use Pedigree Chart to determine Genotypes of individuals
Know a Dominant, Recessive and Sex linked trait
Be able to use Punnett squares to see possibilities of offspring.
Be able to use a punnett square to determine Blood Types. Know all Blood Types
Chapt 10 Know both sides of vocab. Be able to use body orientation vocab. (do not need to know Phylums of animals)
10/19/09 Students will use the microscope to view Protozoa in Pond water. Students will draw and identify them.
10/20/09 Students will finish finding, drawing and identifying Protozoa in pond water.
10/21/09 Students watched three 5 min videos about Malaria, including personal testimonies. Notes were given about the life cycle (also on previous handouts). Students were then given an article about Malaria to read.
10/22/09 Students were given the assignment to create an "Animal" that is made of 8 different Protozoa. Need 2 Protozoa from each of the 4 Phylum that we have discussed. Picture of Animal needs to show how each of the Protozoa fit to help this animal, and be identified.
10/26/09 Students will finish Protozoa "Animal". Class discussion of the 4 phylum and their traits.
10/27/09 Test over Protozoa.
