Genetics Week 1

This week we will begin our study of Genetics.  We will discuss the differences between inherited and acquired traits and give examples of each.  We will look at examples of family pedigrees and create our own Family Pedigree tracing an inherited trait.  The Family Pedigree Project will be due on Friday, September 15.
