Back from Break!

Homework:

Pages 5-8 in the UP

At some point read section 28.3 in your books!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your break was fantastic. Today, in biology, we started our new unit, reproduction. There was the unit packet, and the unit calendar at the front of the room today which we were supposed to grab. First in class today, we discussed what we did on break and how break went for everyone. After that, we got our grade reports handed back. Then, Mrs. Stein started explaining what the unit was about and what we were going to be learning in the unit like she does before we start every unit.

We later took notes on reproduction today. 

Here are the notes in case you missed them.

 

REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS

-Important to the survival of a species. (It is actually vital for the species.)

- May increase genetic variation

-2 types of reproduction:

~Asexual-one parent, offspring are clones

-Bacteria, plants, amoebas, and simple organisms are a few examples

~Sexual-joining of gametes increases variation

-Some plants, many animals to name a couple.

One thing you must know is that FERTILIZATION IS THE JOINING OF AN EGG CELL AND A SPERM CELL

If you have any questions go to the TLC or look on Moodle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashley is the next scribe :D
