This week we'll be focusing on Biotechnology. You will learn a bit about how a "DNA fingerprint" can be used to solve crimes, and how we can do cool things with DNA technology like create a mutant fish that glows.
(GLOfish...zebra fish whose genes have been altered by
adding the "fluorescent" gene from a jellyfish)
We will also spend a bit of time review this term's material in preparation for your Final Exam. Period 3 students will take the exam on Thursday, and Period 4 on Friday. The exam is 100 multiple choice questions, and is worth 100 points (the same amount as the Cell Project). You may use a 4x6" notecard of notes during the exam.
A review sheet can be found here.
