Finish the chart on p. 30 of the workbook. Complete the Frayer Diagram for Embryo and Zygote, and bring to next class.
Biology 11 1-1 21 Nov 2017 and 2-2, 2-4, 20 Nov 2017
Be ready for a quiz on Thursday. It may include our lab procedures with Drosophila done in class, the two articles/readings given earlier, arthropod unifying characteristics and arthropod subphyla unifying characteristics.
Biology 12 2-1 20 Nov 2017 and 1-2 21 Nov 2017
With the exception of the first 16 “review questions,” please complete the enzymes handout by next class.
There are several helpful animations and other resources at the MacGraw Hill Higher Education website.
Biology 11 1-1 17 Nov 2017
Finish Drosophila diagram and label it. Be sure it is detailed and of high quality.
Label the head, thorax, abdomen, compound eye, wing, sex comb (if present), bristles, any other anatomy that is visible and that you can recognize.
Title the drawing and underline the title. Indicate whether the specimen is a male or female. Include your name, block, and the date.
Science 9 2-3 16 Nov 2017 and 1-4 17 Nov 2017
Complete the flower structure diagram from p. 212 on the green sheet provided. Be sure to label all the reproductive parts.
Complete p. 30 – 35 in workbook, using section 6.2 in the text ( 204 – 224).
Biology 11 1-1 15 Nov 2017 and 2-2 and 2-4 16 Nov 2017
Read the 2 handouts on drosophila and complete these questions. Be sure you have completed the Phylum Arthropoda and 4 Sub-Phyla unifying characteristics. These are the features shared by the organisms in each of these groups, not just a list of example organisms from each group.
It is possible that there will be a quiz on the readings next class.
Science 9 1-4 and 2-3 14 and 15 Nov 2017
Finish the diagram from p. 205 (sea urchin fertilization and early development). Be sure the diagram is labelled:
A – fertilization: sperm meets egg; sperm nucleus enters egg.
B – zygote – diploid cell that results from fertilization
C – 1st mitotic division – 2 cells
D – 2nd mitotic division – 4 cells
E – 3rd mitotic division – 8 cells
Be sure you have finished and handed in the meiosis diagram (see p. 191), labelled. This was assigned earlier and has been collected.
Biology 12 1-2 and 2-1, 15 and 16 Nov 2017
Complete the lab (due 20 and 21 Nov, depending on the block). See previous post for full instructions, and ask if you need clarification.
Complete the enzymes practice problems, and the reading of chapter 6.
Biology 11 2-2 and 2-4, 14 Nov 2017
Finish the unifying characteristics of Phylum Arthropods, as well as the 4 subphyla (Trilobita, Uniramia, Crustacea, and Chelicerate). Just give point form information describing the main characteristics of each group.
Finish the drosophila diagram (labelled).
Study for the test on genetics/case study next class.
Biology 12 2-1 8 Nov 2017
Begin reading chapter 6 and use this link for the chapter outline.
Attempt the enzymes problems (key has been provided).
Continue working on the diffusion/osmosis lab (information and guidelines are in previous blog post. Due 20 Nov.
