Vocabulary Review Sets

This link will take you to a menu of the five sets of flashcards I've made this semester.

The units are

genetics 

DNA, mitosis and cancer

viruses/immune system and cell review

cell organelles 

Ecology Unit

Weeks 17-18

Goals

1. Understand and give examples of exceptions to Mendel’s rules of dominance and recessiveness: incomplete dominance, polygenic characteristics, codominance, linked traits, sex linked traits, multiple alleles. 2. Review for the final.

Students will complete a project (Make a face) focused on the use of Mendel's rules and their many exceptions, and then review for their final which will be on  Jan 30.  I'll have review material for them early in the previous week.
