  1. What is the purpose of BLAST? What all can BLAST be used for? Homework Due Today: * Please turn in chapter 24/25 into the front bin Warm Up-AP BioMonday, February 25 Homework: * Evolution Quiz Friday (3/1) * BLAST Formal Lab write-up due Friday (3/1)

  2. Homework: * Evolution Quiz Friday (3/1) * BLAST Formal Lab write-up due Friday (3/1) Warm Up- AP BioMonday, February 25-Reflection No Reflection

  3. Homework Due Today: * Please turn in chapter 23 into the front bin * Please turn in your H-W Lab Questions into the front bin Warm Up- -AP BioTuesday, February 26 Homework: * Evolution Quiz Friday (3/1) * BLAST Formal Lab write-up due Friday (3/1) 1 in 1700 US Caucasian newborns have cystic fibrosis. C is the normal allele, dominant over the recessive c. Individuals must be homozygous for the recessive allele to have the disease. What percent of the above population have cystic fibrosis (cc or q2)? Assuming a Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, how many newborns would have cystic fibrosis in a population of 10,000 people?

  4. Warm Up- AP BioTuesday, February 26-Reflection Homework: * Evolution Quiz Friday (3/1) * BLAST Formal Lab write-up due Friday (3/1) List three unique adaptations that you discovered from researching your various animals.

  5. Homework Due Today: * No Homework due today The trait for 'male-pattern baldness' is a recessive trait encoded for by "b". Non-balding is encoded for by a dominant allele encoded for by the letter "B". A street survey conducted by Hair Club for Men found that out of 1000 men, 360 had male pattern baldness, the other 480 who did not and were heterozygous, and 160 who did not and were homozygous for a full head of hair. 1. What are the phenotype ratios? 2. Using this information find the allele frequencies for B and b. 3. What are the expected genotype frequencies?
