Chapters 16-20 *with a little of Ch 21 (Hox Genes)
Unit 5 Assignments
9/19/2019:Some of the assignments below are from last year and refer to the 8th edition. Check back often as updates and modifications will be made on a daily basis throughout the unit
ASSIGNMENTS: 1- Check the masteringbiology calendar for HW due dates 2-UpcomingAssignments- posted 9-21-2019. Additionally, watch these videos (we only watched 2 on Friday):
Bozeman DNA and RNA Part 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoERVSWKmGk. Includes several experiments you must know for the exam. Here's the WS you did in class
DNA Replication. Goes over the specifics of replication. Here's the WS done in class
There are MANY more good youtube videos you can watch, if needed. Also, some other good tutorials are listed (below) under Chap 16, as well as the right hand column (Videos and Lectures)
CHAPTER 16: 1- BioFlix tutorial (these are my favorite animations). I'm 99% sure this is a Ch 16 mastering assignment, but just in case: http://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_bio/bioflix/bioflix.htm?c7ednarep. Bioflix WS 2- Ch 16 Worksheet - after we watch the Bozeman replication video (and view the animations), see if you can answer these questions and label the diagrams. If you can't, then watch the tutorials below and try again. 3. Highly Recommended to watch:
CHAPTER 18: Assignments: 1. Bozeman- Gene regulation video. Here's the worksheet. 2. We'll either do Lac Operon Virtual Activity or Operon Modeling IF we can access the PhET website. If we cannot, this WS will be your CW 3. Control Mechanisms- Lac and Trp Operons: do this for HW (*I will give you a hard copy of the key once completed) 4. Ch 18 Review Questions-Gene Expression.*This will also serve as the Ch 18 Study Guide 5. HHMI Click and Learn (Group assignment in class- Day 2 of Ch 18): Gene Regulation: Lactase - HHMI Click and Learn Worksheet for activity 6. Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes Webquest- will be primarily done in class, unless we're running short on time. If that's the case, you must complete at home [*make sure you THOROUGHLY read this handout (ex- Epigenetics, Homeobox...aka 'Hox'... genes), since there is likely a test question or 2]. *Use this link for Freeman site if link on WQ won't open. Must download the animation first. 7. Investigation: Regulatory Switches of PITX1 Gene in Stickleback Fish- Here's the WS given in class. The link to the video is on p. 2. (Just in case, here's the link on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/68968647) 8. Be sure and watch Bozeman - Epigenetics. 9. Other good videos:
10. Be sure and read this brief article on epigenetics. *Be prepared to answer this (or something similar): How can DNA between identical twins be the same, but phenotypes expressed differently? 11. Ch 18-part 3 PPt is posted abovein PPt section of blog (Sections 18.4 & 18.5)-You must know:
cytoplasmic determinants ; cell differentiation; morphogenesis; Hox (homeotic) genes. *The video listed under Ch 21 for Hox genes addresses these topics.
Cancer: proto-oncogenes & tumor suppressor genes and how mutations affect their expression
CHAPTER 19: 1-Bozeman- Viruses. Here's the video guide. 2- Ch 19 Questions (required questions are on masteringbiology.com) 3- Do Virus WQ
CHAPTER 20: 1. Plasmid Mapping Worksheet:ONLY Problems #1-4 are required (omit 5 & 6) Watch these for help:
4. CRISPR: Until recently, there weren't many good CRISPR videos out there, as it is a 'relatively' new technology. Now, there's a LOT! I'll show one of these in class, but here's some more good ones
CHAPTER 21: Most of this chapter will be done in the Evolution unit. 2019- Be familiar with: HOX genes. We'll do the 2018 assignments (below) in Unit 6
2018: 1) Hox (homeobox) genes (watch this video and do this WS). Refer to Ch 21 PPt (left column, scroll up to PPt section of blog). DNA and protein sequencing will be primarily done in Unit 6 (Evolution) with BLAST Lab on desktop computers.
1-Electrophoresis- Directions (general directions for making gels) 2- There are 2 different labs that can be ordered from Bio Rad. Neither booklet can be uploaded (they send hard copies), so do NOT lose the directions given in class. However, there are modifications of both labs that can be uploaded:
3- Electrophoresis PPt- Clearly explains restriction enzymes (endonucleases), restriction fragments, short tandem repeats and the lab procedure itself 4- Need help with graphing your restriction fragment data or using a standard curve? Read this 5- Semilog graph (to make Standard Curve)
1- Go over the Exploration Study Guide questions I gave you for Ch 17, 18 and 20. 2- Ch 16 Study Questions will be given in class 3- Ch 19- Viruses (go over the PPt) 4- Do AP Classroom Progress Check! (Unit 5) 5- REMEMBER- you can go to the Study Area on masteringbiology.com and do Practice Tests for every chapter
Unit 5 PPts & Prezis
Ch 16-A (given in class) Ch 16-B (Foglia PPt- great graphics) Ch 17- Someone please remind me to repost this! I added a few slides to the ppt and just discovered I left my flash drive at school (9/30/19) Ch 17- Overview of Protein Synthesis Ch 18- #1 (*Foglia) Ch 18- #2 (*Foglia) Ch 18- #3: has sections 18.4 & 18.5 - cell differentiation, cytoplasmic determinants, Homeobox/Hox genes & cancer (proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor) Ch 19 Ch 20 Restriction Fragments- Plasmid Mapping Ch 21 - most of this will be in unit 6. Know Homeobox (Hox) genes for this test
David Knuffke Prezis: *All of his Prezis can be found here (just search for the topic). Here are a few I directly linked for you. You must know this information:
I'm in the process of editing a few of the below resources. If I find a something that I think will help you understand the material better, I'll add it below. So, check back often!
Reading Guides from the 8th Edition: Some of you have told me you like using these to study the chapters, so here they are:
Video Lectures: 1- This guy gets my vote for the best AP Bio lectures. Go to youtube and search for BleierBiology. Here's a link to the playlists he has for this unit: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6yYftesrJicOgr8plRfVyvGQZPOfaJRk 2- Go to youtube.com and search for ‘Science with Mr J’. He’s got video lectures for every chapter & topic we study. Some of the videos may be a little long, but he does a good job explaining concepts using relatable examples. I think most of you will like him. 😊
Beadle and Tatum experiment (which led to Central Dogma). I like this one by Michelle Stieber ("Gene Interactions- Pt 1"). *There have been test ques about this on previous Exams
