Extracting DNA from a strawberry

introduction to Genetics

We took some notes on Genetics

UBC TRIUMF GRADE 10s

Block 2-1    FEB 22,  9:45 AM you must arrive at TRIUMF

Block 2-4    FEB 20,  1:45 PM you must arrive at TRIUMF

Examining Planaria

Colour the plant and animal cell

Colour code the diagram of the plant and animal cell located in the wooden shelf to the right of the teacher's small desk.

Make your own analogy of the cell as a one page diagram....The cell is like a...

Draw a picture in pen, in colour 10 marks
your analogy is effective and it works well 10 marks
Your analogy includes a paragraph 5 marks

total 25 marks

Work on the microscope calculation questions on this sheet here on your own piece of paper


Next, create a TRIP PLAN FOR THE TRIUMF  TRIP during the week of double blocking

GET INTO A GROUP OF 2, or 3 or 4 and appoint a group leader.  On a piece of paper, write your trip plan

1.  What is the date of the TRIUMF TRIP?  it will be 10am if morning and 2pm in the afternoon.  You must arrive 15 minutes before the tour.
2.  What are the names of the group members and their cell numbers?
3.   Who is the group leader?
4.  Google tours of TRIUMF and tell me about safetey precautions for your group
5.  Which is the BEST UBC Bus to take and what are the instructions for how to get to UBC by bus to get to TRIUMF?  Draw a map and write clear instructions on how to get there
6.  What do you think you might learn?
7.  Check out TRIUMF's website.  Find and describe 5 things they do there.

trip plan is worth 10 marks and each person must write their own.

Microscope calculations

Measure the diameter of the field of view of the low view of the microscope.
Write it down in mm.  You can convert this to microns by x1000

Now calculate the diametre of the field of view.



The formula we use:

dFOV 2    =      dFOV 1    x    magnification of 1
                         ___________________________
                                          magnification of 2

or

dFOV medium =   dFOVlow   x low magnification
                              _________________________
                                           magnification of medium


dFOV high =  dFOVlow   x low magnification
                       _________________________
                                 magnification of high

Lab 2 :  demonstrate that you can estimate the size of an object.

Draw any object under low, medium and high and indicate the diametre of the field of view and also the length of something under the microscope.
