Homework
HW#24 - Female Reproductive System (female reproduction, ovary/ovaries, uterus)
Female reproductive system - produces eggs, allows for the creation of offspring (a child) Ovary - makes eggs, releases hormones Uterus - where the fetus (baby) develops |
HW#23 - Male Reproductive System - male reproduction, testes/testicle, sperm
Male reproductive system - produces sperm testes/testicle - makes sperm sperm - male sex cell that has half the total number of chromosomes (the other half comes from the woman's egg) |
HW # 22 - Biotechnology, Selective Breeding, Genetic Engineering
On page 92 in your Science notebook, please write the following words and definitions, and complete the prompts. Biotechnology- changing an organism for a specific goal like creating medicine or a better food Selective Breeding- breeding plants or animals for a specific trait. Genetic Engineering- transferring or moving specific traits, or genes, from one organism to another. |
HW # 21 - Biodiversity, Chromatography, Gel Electrophoresis
On page 77 in your Science notebook, please write the following words and definitions, and complete the two prompts. Biodiversity- different types of life. Chromatography- process of separating different colors (molecules). Gel Electrophoresis- a process to compare DNA. |
HW #20 - Protein, Ribosome, Protein Synthesis/Gene Expression
 Protein - a STRUCTURE or chain of amino acids that is folded into a specific shape and has a specific job. One fact about a protein: Protein reminds you of: Ribosome - the ORGANELLES where proteins are made Write a sentence using ribosome: "Ribosome" reminds you of... Protein synthesis or gene expression - the PROCESS of starting with a specific gene (DNA), making mRNA, making an amino acid, lining up the amino acids and folding them into a protein. Write a sentence using "protein synthesis": "Protein synthesis" reminds you of... |
HW #18: Summarize Mitosis
 On page 65 in your science notebook, craft a summary of mitosis. DO NOT COPY FROM THE PICTURE IN THIS POST. Use your NOTEBOOK and your own words. Suggestions to include:
|
HW #17 - Mitosis, asexual reproduction and cloning
 Mitosis - A four step process that starts with one parent cell and makes 2 daughter cells. Asexual reproduction - An organism that reproduces by itself (budding or mitosis) Clone - The same exact organism - with the same DNA |
HW #16: Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, Gene, DNA Base Sequence
On pages 56-57 in your Science notebook, please write the following words, definitions, a sentence and what the word reminds you of. Nucleus- the brain of the cell that holds the DNA. Chromosome- an organized structure of DNA. DNA- holds the code that makes up who you are. Gene- a specific part of DNA that holds the code for a specific trait or characteristic. DNA Base Sequence- the order of DNA that determines what type of traits you have. |
