Was it hard to stay on task today or was it just me?
In class we mainly focused on finishing up the case of Alexia and Evan who are both blue-eyed, but have a brown-eyed child named Ryan. The case revealed the multiple genes involved directly in eye color and suggested several others that could influence the final color seen.
While students were working on the case there were several side conversations that ventured into the areas of chimerism (and search for "I Am My Own Twin" which originally aired on the Discovery Channel), dermoid cysts, conjoined twins, and more.
For homework tonight I am asking you to read 15.1 and 15.2. Then go to this LINK https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lIcrXCROg2eC5c8AURkO-Zp5EGifMbkJanF8ZTvMm5s/edit?hl=en&authkey=COKx_q0B and answer the 6 questions on the Chapter 15.2 Worksheet.
I am also linking you to a few excellent sources below:
