Blood Typing Game

Please get out a sheet of paper that you will turn in.

Go HERE for a fun blood typing game. Try not to kill anyone!!

For each patient (3 total), create a chart that shows the following:

• The patients blood type and an explanation of how you determined it.
• All the types of blood that patient can receive.
• An explanation of why that patient could safely receive that blood type.

Please turn in your paper.

Corn Genetics and Chi Square

Go HERE for the worksheet. Please place answers on a separate sheet of paper.

More Punnett Squares!

1. Go HERE to access your Punnett Square worksheet.
2. Complete your answers on a separate sheet of paper (or print it out)and be ready to turn it in next class.
3. Please write down the genotypes of the parents for each cross.
4. Make sure you include the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for each problem.
5. Use the shortcuts if you know them! It saves lots of time!
6. Don't do the concept map at the end.
