Flies, Fastplants and Milkweed Seed

In Genetics today, we finished up our Drosophila Lab with the Chi Square Analysis of data.  We accepted the null hypothesis on our sex-linked white-eye cross but did not for our dihybrid cross using sepia eye and vestigial wings ... although we got some great results ... all in all we sorted and counted over 1600 flies over parts of two days.

Also in Genetics, we finished up our lab extension on our fast plant crosses ... our F2 generation nearly maintained our F1 population gene frequency ... our Chi Square Analysis as close enough to accept the null hypothesis ... this lab took over six weeks to complete ... a long haul for a HS lab.

In Selected Topics, we started our Milkweed Lab by dissecting pods and collecting data to graph ... results tomorrow.  We also had a dispersion contest ... congrats to all the winners.

We started checking our last Visual BASIC problems in Computer Science today ... great programming ... many students are working on their final project.
