Monday, January 4th 2010 - In class and Homework

Welcome back! We began Chapter 15 today - we had 3 handouts - objectives, a gene linkage lab and a study guide for chapter 15. We had silent reading for the 1st 25 - 30 minutes (sections 15.1 and the 1st part of 15.2). We spent the last 15 - 20 minutes assembling a pair of homologous chromosomes using beads. These will be used in the gene linkage lab. The homework is to finish reading 15.2 and to answer the 1st 4 interactive q's from the study guide.
