Today we took the time to really try to understand what is going on with those punnett squares. What are they representing and what are we really trying to see with them. To do that we did an activity called Dragon Genetics which simulated the process of independent assortment in meiosis to create gametes.
Since we did this in groups in class, I want you to take a bit more individual time with the activity. I'm including the full write-up for you to refer to and I'm also including a worksheet. Please do all 22 questions on the worksheet (don't do the questions on the write-up for the activity). When you are done, take a look at the answer sheet to check your answers. Be sure you get those punnetts correct!
There will be a quiz next week so be sure you study the lesson/homework on asexual vs. sexual reproduction, monohybrid crosses and dihybrid crosses. Stay sharp on meiosis and mitosis and everything that entails as well.
