Genetics is moving on to Chapter 2 in the Ricki Lewis book. This chapter has several case studies in cases that involve biochemistry ... Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Lesch-Nylan syndrome and more.

We will also be studying mitosis in more depth, including the checkpoints that control mitosis. We will have our mitosis lab later in the week.

Tomorrow, Selected Topics in Science is working on Mendelian genetics. Dominant/Recessive traits, X-linked conditions/disease name multiple allele problems. We will be in genetics the rest of the week with several forensic problems to work through in small groups ... the Citibank Robbery problem, Who's my Daddy? and Find My Baby!
We are struggling to finish the Karel problems. They are very difficult ... one solution to the skyscraper problem is below ... some good logic training! Lots of nexted if-then statements makes it difficult!
