Genetics Update

The Biology Co-op class just resumed.  My husband, my son, and I visited family in Florida before my son was deployed as a priest chaplain to the Arabian Peninsula.  We returned to an ice and snow storm which had knocked out power for three days.  Several of the families contracted COVID; some are on their second or third COVID infection.  So, we just resumed class today.  Six kids met remotely owing to COVID.  We went over this Mendel slideshow and worked through problems on this Punnett Square worksheet.  (Here is a more complicated genetic crosses worksheet.  Here is another set of practice problems and the answer key.). We’ll be working on the problem sets, terms, such as homozygous and heterozygous, and start dihybrid crosses.  The western forecast next week calls for more snow.  Sign.
