HW for Sept 3:
Make sure your written response to the Evolution article is ready
Have your 1999 exam analyzed on the paper I gave you. Only mark incorrect answers.
Begin reading CH. 22
There are 12 AP Biology Labs. Each lab covers an important overarching concept in AP Biology.
At the bottom of this blog I have created a link for you called "AP Lab tutorials". This link will take you to a website which contains each of the 12 labs in an interactive format. Please visit this website often. Pay close attention to the objectives and outcomes for each lab.
Lab 2: Enzyme Catalysis
Lab 4: Photosynthesis
Lab 10: Circulatory Physiology
Currently we are studying Unit 8: Evolution which corresponds to Lab 8: Population Genetics. Here are the concepts behind population genetics:
In 1908 G. Hardy and W. Weinberg independently proposed that the frequency of alleles and genotypes in a population will remain constant from generation to generation if the population is stable and in genetic equilibrium. Five conditions are required in order for a population to remain at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:
1. Large population
2. Random Mating
3. No Mutations
4. No Natural Selection
5. No Immigration
Equations:
p + q = 1
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
p= dominate allele
q= recessive allele
Here is a link that has more information on HW equilibrium:
