If you were out, see me for a popsicle stick, write your name and block on it, and return it to me.
Today we went over the 1st Punnett Square practice: Dimples and DNA. If you don’t have one, Get a copy of the Dimples and DNA  worksheet and complete it, then see me for the key.
At the top of page 58, add the heading “Punnett Square Notes” and at the end of the definition for Recessive Trait on page 59, add the following: “(aka hybrid)”.
We also read pages 107 - 113 in the text - if you were out, borrow a copy of the text and read those pages.

Add the following summary  to the Connections pages on page 50/51:

Lesson U3Act3: Structure of DNA
Genes (coding for traits) are on chromosomes.
Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein (DNA  = Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
DNA made of 4 nucleotides
Adenine (A)
Thymine (T)
Guanine(G)
Cytosine (C)
A only pairs with T, G only pairs with C
