End of April/Early May

• Friday 4/20:  Finish notes on genetic modification and go over clones.  Micropipetting practice.  Hand out DNA Fingerprinting Lab and read it!
• Tues 4/24:  First part of DNA Fingerprinting Lab.  Add enzyme to the 4 DNA samples and let them incubate for an hour.  While they incubate, finish the Restriction Enzyme Worksheet and get it checked off, do the DBQ on monarch butterflies on p. 195, work on your Enzyme Lab, and then start going over the Enzyme and Biotech Review Sheet on my website.
• Thurs 4/26:  Enzyme Lab due through turnitin.com by 11:59 pm tonight (but don't stay up until then to submit it!).  Typically I don't take much off for labs that are a little late.  Day 2 of the DNA Fingerprinting Lab.  Add dye to your samples and then load them into the gels!  When finished, complete the DBQ on p. 195 and get checked off, go over the Enzyme and Biotech review, etc.  When everyone has their gels loaded, we will review the topics of Biotech and some of the ethical issues.
• Mon 4/30:  Look at your gels under the UV light and take a photo.  Analyze the resulting lines and try to determine which suspect was at the crime scene!  We will discuss the write up for this lab.  Do DBQ on page 353 (you can skip b and d)
• Wed 5/2:  Finish checking off DBQ on p. 353.  Work on DNA Fingerprinting Lab.  Review enzymes and biotech.  Kahoot review.  Start Plants!
• Fri 5/4:  Take Enzyme and Biotechnology Test.  Structure of leaf tissue and transpiration.  Read 9.1.
