49 Five Questions about Lyme Disease.
Suppose you or a family member contracted Lyme Disease...do some online research (cite your sources), and prepare useful answers to these 4+1 questions.
1.  What is Lyme Disease?
2.  What happens to people with Lyme Disease?
3.  Can Lyme disease be cured?
4.  How is Lyme disease treated?
5.  How much influence should insurance companies have in determining which treatments patients should have?

46 47 Oompa Loompa Genetics

Practice makes perfect - lets' try some varieties of Punnett Squares...

Always show your Punnett square(s) - bonus if you color them correctly!!!

45 Incomplete versus CoDominance

Give the definition and an example of each!!!

How can we remember the difference?

41 42 43 44 Punnett Squares - Crosses Involving 2 Traits

Black Hair (B) vs Blonde Hair (b)
Brown Eyes (E) vs Blue Eyes (e)

 Here we took some time to really look at the genotype/phenotype ratios, and how to calculate percentages. We should be awesome at this by now!!!

Don't forget to COLOR your Punnett Squares/Charts/Percentage Tables!!!

39 40 Genetic Crosses that Involve 2 Traits

Now we're looking at Rabbits and Gray(G)/white(g) hair
with Black(B)/red(b) eyes

The Key word on this page is GAMETES - you already know what they are, now we're just giving the genes you get from mom / dad a name (GB, Gb, gB, gb)

Don't forget to COLOR your Punnett Squares/Charts/Percentage Tables!!!

35 36 37 38 DiHybrid Crosses (Guinea Pigs)

Here's the handout

35 - Highlight the definition of a dihybrid cross

36, 37, 38 - Write in the daily quote
