1. W.U. DNA and DNA Replication Self Quiz
2. Building DNA models- day 1
H.W. 23 and Me Assignment (due Tomorrow) READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
After considering the history of the discovery of the structure of DNA, we've come a long way...
Now, someone can pay $99 to get their DNA analyzed through a personal DNA test. Mrs. Barro's and Mrs. Werdel's AP Biology classes spent a week looking in to the company, 23andMe (the company that does personal DNA testing for $99), to see what the pros and cons of the test are and to see if they would take the test themselves after their research. They had to create "padlet" pages showing the pros and cons.
For your assignment, I want you to visit the AP Biology's padlet page and COMPLETE FOUR TASKS:
Period 3 and 4 use this padlet link:
padlet.com/wall/barrosapbio
Period 5 use this padlet link:
http://padlet.com/wall/werdelrox
1.) I want you to watch the video I posted titled, "Nova Science Now: Personal DNA testing." You will see it on the top left of the padlet wall.
2.) THEN... pick any of 3 padlets to view from the wall. Choose any 3 that stand out or look interesting to you. ** Sometimes the padlet wall or resource you click on will not open; if this happens, click on the source button on the bottom left of your screen.
3. )Evaluate 3 padlets using the evaluation worksheet a the link below. The evaluation Worksheet will guide you through your research and evaluation of each of the three padlets you choose to see.
1. Write the name of the group - including group member names if they appear.
2. Write down what it was that attracted you to that particular padlet
3. Evaluate the padlet (based on entertainment, interest, validity of information, usefulness)
4. Write down 3 pros and 3 cons that you learned from that group's padlet.
Use this document to help you evaluate each padlet you choose: 23 and me Evaluation Worksheet
4) Lastly, take the poll: Would you do a personal DNA test? See the padlet at the top middle of the wall. Choose yes or no (After you have done your research on 3 padlets). Submit your response. If you want to see what the results of the poll are so far, click on "see previous responses."

AND Bozeman Meiosis download and follow the directions shown.
You may print the document or you may write out your answers on a separate peice of paper.
When you are finished, go to pages 324-326, read, study and then model meiosis with your pipe cleaner chromosomes as you read along in your textbook. Don't forget to use different colors for maternal and paternal chromosomes. Shorten one set to distinguish one homologous pair from the other.

1. W.U.: Circle up into your lab groups and discuss/share results of the homework
2. Notes: What kinds of cells disobey the rules of the cell cycle by growing and dividing uncontrollably?
(Finish your notes by analyzing the graph and watching these
News alerts! View the News Alert videos and use the information provided to identify what each video suggests is the cause of cancer and what evidence supports that claim) Here's a link to today's Cancer ppt.
H.W. To really understand how a disease happens, we must understand how the processes are supposed to be when they run normally. So do the following starting with the lecture first:
1. Bozeman Biology Lecture on Mitosis, Meiosis and the Cell Cycle (mostly mitosis)
2. Construct a working model of mitosis using the pipe cleaners that you were given in class. You should have a total of 4 pipe cleaner (2 pipe cleaners should be one color and 2 pipe cleaners should be another color)
Cut these pipe cleaner in half. Now you should have 4 pipe cleaners of 1 color and 4 pipe cleaners of one color. This will help you construct your model of mitosis of an organism with the chromosome number 2n=4. Your model must show what the pipe cleaner chromosomes do during each phase of the cell cycle: Interphase (G1, S, G2), and Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphse, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis)
Follow Mr. Anderson's model for help.
