AIM: How can scientists control the traits of organisms by directly manipulating their DNA? Homework: GENETIC ENGINEERING ESSAY DUE NEXT FRIDAY March 21st New Vocab/ Key Ideas Genetic Engineering- Directly altering the DNA of an organism to produce a desirable trait. Usually involved moving a gene from one organism to another. Restriction Enzyme- an ENZYME can be used to "cut" the DNA from one organism and "paste" the gene into another organism Genetically Modified Organism- An organism who's DNA has been changed by scientists Uses of Genetic Engineering Medicine- We have inserted the human gene for insulin into a bacteria. The bacteria produces insulin that we can collect and give to patients with … [Read more...]

Calorimetery Omnibus
Here are all presentations relating to specific heat, heat of fusion, and heat of vaporization. Remember, we use heat of fusion for melting, specific heat for heating and cooling, and heat of vaporization for boiling. The constants are given to us in the Regents Reference Packet (Table B). We just need to remember the equations (see the presentations for details). Presentations: [gview file="https://www.whsad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Unit-5.21-Specific-Heat.pptx"] [gview file="https://www.whsad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Unit-5.22-Specific-Heat-2.pptx"] [gview file="https://www.whsad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Unit-5.23-Latent-Heat.pptx"] … [Read more...]

AIM: Lab- How can a mutation in the DNA sequence affect a sequence of amino acids? How does this affect the final protein product? Today we did an in-class lab. Most people did not finish the analysis, and it was assigned for HOMEWORK. The lab is attached below. You will have until this Friday to complete the lab. I know that some people need assistance with the questions. Please stop by during office hours for tutoring. Key Concepts: There are 3 types of mutations that may occur in a sequence of DNA bases. Insertion- a base, or sequence of bases is added to the DNA (strand will be longer) Deletion- a base, or sequence of bases is removed from the DNA (strand will be shorter) Substitution- a base, or sequence of bases is … [Read more...]
Revovling An Object
How do we use the revolve command to create an object in AutoCAD? Creates a 3D solid or surface by sweeping an object around an axis. Summary Open profiles create surfaces and closed profiles can create either a solid or a surface. The MOde option controls is a solid of surface is created. When creating a surface, SURFACEMODELINGMODE system variable controls if a procedural or NURBS surface is created. Revolve path and profile curves can be: Open or closed Planar or non-planar Solid and surface edges A single object (to extrude multiple lines, convert them to a single object with the JOIN command) A single region (to extrude multiple regions, first convert them to a single object with the UNION … [Read more...]
