Unfortunately, I am out again today.
Your activity today will cover the same content that was originally planned for class today— Cell cycle regulation! Please answer #1-30 on this worksheet by working through this module. Complete sentences not required. Everybody should have their own document, but you can work with a partner! You should be able to save the document then type directly on the doc. Be sure to pay close attention to the cyclins/CDKs section. I know this isn’t ideal, but this will be the primary way this topic will be covered. This lesson will work well because it’s so detailed! Please be diligent! :) You can ask to print this if you rather handwrite your responses.
With me being out, the Ch 11 Fig Descrips will instead be due on Tuesday, 1/20.
The Cell Cycle quiz will still be this week as scheduled. You should know how to draw a cell with a given number of chromosomes in each phase (IPMATC), focusing on the chromosomes and spindles, and know what occurs at each phase.
