enrichment post - #7 -Build DNA!


source- biology corner.com

Hi All,

From a focus on cells to a focus on the genetic material within the cell that makes us who we are!

Fo fun try the link below and select the building DNA activity. This will teach you more about the structure of the DNA molecule.

Build DNA

You may try the others also, but they may be a bit complicated until we cover the concepts in class.

All the best and see you soon!

    I have a question about the h.w, is it ok if i do the data not in a chart? for example

    Mom
    Windows Peak-yes
    Attached ear lobe-no

    Hi Izabella,

    It is OK to use a chart for your genetics data. See if you can total the data for each category also. What I mean is, out of the 10 people you studied how many had windows peak and how many didn't?

    Good question.

    Mr. Forde :-)

    the game was sort of fun.
    it got annoying on all three at a certain point. but overall it was an ok game.

    Hey John and Louis,

    Thanks for trying the games. You are right, the more you know about genetics the easier the game. I think sometimes it is ok to expose yourself to science ideas before seeing them in class. This way you can see them in a different way.

    See you tomorrow!

    Mr. Forde :-)

    This helped me understand genes a little better, specifically genetic engineering. - Cameron

    I didn't build DNA, but I played the traits game. I like the part with the beetle heads.
