Daily Recap: Tuesday 2/3/09

Investigating Technologies:
We continued working on suite 3, roation 2, interval 1. We should be getting close to done with this first interval so that we can move on to intervals 2 and 3 later in the week.

Anatomy and Physiology:
Lab day! We used simulated blood to practice techniques for typing an unknown sample. Lab exercise 24 should be completed in your lab notebook, and should include a chart identifying the antigen/antibody reactions and type for all four samples.

Make sure you get a copy of the new Physio-Phocus bulletin if you didn't pick one up in class.

Biology:
We practiced using pedigree charts to determine patterns of inheritance for autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and sex-linked dominant genetic conditions. Make sure you've read the part of section 11.1 in your text that deals with pedigree analysis.
