Monday 3/16 Biology

Watch this tutorial video to review the process of a "test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYxSMJ-nDsscross" (completing a monohybrid cross).

After completing the video (I recommend taking notes), then complete then answer the followin questions:
1. Fur color:  B=black, b=white
Bb x Bb (complete dominance, incomplete, and codominance) provide the phenotypic and genotypic ratios.

2. Colorblindness: X'=color blind, X=Normal
A colorblind man and carrier woman were crossed, what is the probability of...
a. having a normal male
b. affected male (colorblind)
c. affected female (colorblind)
d. Normal female

1. What makes Deletion and Insertion such important mutations? (HINT: think about their effects)
2. How does a Gene Mutation different from a Chromosomal Mutation?
3. Briefly EXPLAIN the 2 examples mentioned in this video describing how mutations can benefit, harm, or not affect an organism.
4. Draw a quick representation of Non disjunction (similar to the one in the video).

Week of 3/2 - 3/6

THIS WEEK!!!!!
 We will learn about Gregor Mendel's contributions to our understanding of Genetics. We will strive to create analogies to demonstrate our understanding of his Laws and how they apply to Meiosis and the passing of traits to successive generations.

Meiosis  and Mendel Lab Activities
Punnett Squares and DNA technology Activities
DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis Quiz

Grades will be updated soon!!

This week in Bio

We will explore how changes in our environment can change populations. Finishing up with how Humans Impact the environment. The following topics will be covered:
Human Impact
Ecological Succession
Population Growth

Here is a video about Succession (Deep Understanding)

Welcome to Mr. Macon's Biology Class for the Spring 2020 semester!!

Hello ALL,

I am glad to have you join our class! I would like to welcome you to learn as much as you can about Biology. Biology is the study of living things, which includes many "Millions" of organisms and we discuss how we are ALL interconnected.

During the semester you will be able to access this Blog for reminders, assignments, and can use it as a tour guide to see what your students will do in Biology.

Other sites you should utilize are our YouTube Page (for bio information & tutorial videos) and Our Instagram @maconchangedmen

Let's have a great semester!!
