Lab guides will be NOT handed out. Students will be responsible of printing them out. Find them in the class folder in the school's P-drive (a-cordoba/Intro Genetics-BIOL 210/Biol 210 Lab guides).
Teams of 3, 4, and 5 people were formed (of 3 and 5 due to the uneven distribution of students in both lab sections) and topics for a bioethics paper/debate assignment were proposed by students and/or suggested by the instructor, and subsequently discussed. Such topics will be developed as individual research papers (week 6) and a debate (week 9).
Next week: A lab on human genetics. To be able to make a pedigree analysis, students must collect some information from their immediate family (as many as you can and even better if you get great-grand parents involved, if possible) (check the lab 01 guide for details):
- can they roll their tongues?
- do they have a free or an attached ear lobe?
- do they have hitchhiker's thumb?
- how do they fold their hands?
These traits (three morphological and one behavioral) are genetically determined and will be useful for our exercise.
