Friday
SUB - Provincial Track

1) Complete the practice Dihybrid Cross Questions
- you can self correct the questions here and then hand into the sub with the corrections and the questions that you have. Answer check

2) Complete the Genetic Traits Survey - Turn to the chart on page three and just complete the chart.  On Monday we will go through this and see how unique you are.

3) Search for informatin on the various stages of Mitosis and Meiosis.
- consult the worksheet for suggested focus areas.

***Please note that if you are struggling with the four questions, you can check the answer key posted. If you are still stuck, review your dihybrid cross notes.
- If you are still not sure, try the four questions and hand in what you have.  On the page leave me a note about which part you are struggling with, so that I can plan for Monday.
- Then move on to the traits survey and Mitosis and Meiosis.  Please don't spend all of your time waiting on Dihybrids.
