The test will be included in the Third Quarter, allowing for retakes until we track-out. On Friday, we will extract our own DNA and students will bring home theirs in a small necklace charm.

After the Wednesday off, in honor of Veterans Day, we will complete some Pedigree puzzles to see how these diagrams can help us figure out patterns of inheritance.

Don't forget the HUGE Genetics test that's coming up on November 17th. We'll make a Study Guide in class on Friday.
