Port Townsend High School Science and Math: Week of November 26

Nov. 26 Monday - Learning Objective:

9-11 LS1I Meiosis, Fertilization, and Offspring Variation	(1) Describe that the process of fertilization allows for variation among offspring from a single set of parents.
	(2) Describe possible allele combinations in an egg or sperm cell given a combination of two traits and a parent’s genotype for the two traits.

Classwork = Explain - part II pages 372-376, p/p 1 - 9

Homework - pages 375=376, R/C 1-4

Personal responsibility - Read the section on careers, and record important information from this reading in your notebook

Poster Assignment - Due November 28

Nov. 27 Tuesday - Learning Objective

9-11 LS1I Meiosis, Fertilization, and Offspring Variation	(1) Describe the process of meiosis (e.g., each egg or sperm cell receives only one representative chromosome from each pair of chromosomes found in the original cell) and/or product of meiosis (e.g., egg and sperm cells with only one set of chromosomes).
	(2) Describe that the processes of recombination during meiosis (e.g., segregation, independent assortment) result in a unique combination of genetic information in the egg or sperm cell.
	(3) Describe the relationship between the unique combination of genetic information in an egg or sperm cell and the differing characteristics in offspring from a single set of parents.

Classwork - Elaborate, pages 379-384 p/p 1-8
