Wednesday 1/16/13

First off, I've heard from a number of students that the textbook will not load the actual text to your home computer. My summation is probably that your computer operating system is not compatable with the site. You should however, rest assured in needing to use the text on line anyway as we will have ample time in class to work. If you work hard, you should have no problem.
I don't think you will have much problem getting to the online quizzes and such for me though, we will check on that in a bit.

Today, we had a trivia question about Lance Armstrong and then we discussed genetic traits and worked with the punnet square.  And also the students were given a list of Dominant genetic traits and told them to go home and see what they can see. :)

Here's a link to the Huntington's disease story I was telling you about: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20137567,00.html

Here's the outcome of her story:

Turns out, there is a 3rd son who has also began to show signs of Huntington's disease as well.
