Atomic Bomb Debate

If it had to be done all over, should we have dropped the atomic bomb?  You will debate this decision based on one of four points of view: a scientist, a Truman advisor, a military officer, or a Japanese survivor.

Here are some websites that can help you...

Blood Typing Tutorial

Watch this tonight and fill out your note sheet for Wednesday.  We will go over the information in class on Wednesday and do more Punnett Squares with blood types!  :)

Punnett Squares and Genetics

    
Be sure to add the notes I emailed to you into your One Note!  Try these "practice problems" out using a Punnett Square.

C=curly hair (UPPER CASE "C")
c= straight hair (lower case "c")

1. If the Mom is HETEROZYGOUS curly (Cc) and the dad is HOMOZYGOUS straight (cc), what are the possiblities for their offspring?  Give in percentages.


2. If the mom and dad are both Homozygous Dominant, what will the outcomes be for their offspring?


3. Both parents are heterozygous.  Could they have a child with straight hair???

(Answers are in the file cabinet! :)

If you need a little tutorial, check out this video for Punnett Square help!  You only need to watch the first 5 minutes of it!  We have not covered the rest of the video yet!  It will be helpful later though!

DNA

Isn't it amazing to think this is ACTUALLY happening in your body RIGHT NOW??  This video shows DNA Replication (which you MUST know) and transcription (you do NOT need to know this for the quiz Friday).
