(work in progress)
Life as we have know it came to an end yaterdsya when a massive Explosion leveled the ginnea nucler powerpalnt in webster ny. EveryThing with in a 15 mile radius od the bast was decimated . Very few signs Of life still exit.
Life as we know it will NEVER be the same.
The people have mutated.
Everyone has been EFFECTED.
No one is safe
The Zombies are organizing communities
They even are getting together having little zombie babies
You have are trying to understand why they don’t die.
People have always thought that zombies don’t require living organs to survive…
But from your experiments you have found they DO.What keeps how do their vital organs repair themselves?
They are coming for us…. You are a scientist…
OnlyYou can save us…
YOUR JOBI. Find out all you can about cellular regeneration
II. Based on new found knowledge tell us how we can ELIMNATE
The Zombie Threat…..
you will need to figure out
IF YOU CAN’T DO IT …. WE’LL ALL BE
DOOMED!
You need toi. Get in your groups ii. Find Web sites from our
library So that you will
iii. Be prepared to answer the assessment questions
At he end of this session
Cell Phases
Label the different phases of
Mitosis
__________________
For Onion Lab find at least 3 cells in one of the previous phases
You sample should have a bunch of cells in it (like above)and you need at least 3 phases of mitosis
We talked previously abouttranscription
(remember viruses?)
Write a storyabout:
• What causes a cell to die • How could we engineer
a cell to die?
HOW’D THIS HAPPEN?
Sexual Reproduction
i. Get in your groupsii. Link into online library : find out all that you can about
Meiosisiii. Be prepared to answer assessment question at end of this unit
Homologous pairs of human chromosomes
Even zombies are human… okay they’re deadish humans
Cells that have a complete set (all 46) - they are called DIPLOID
Sex cells (sperm and eggs) only have half (23) - they are called HAPLOID
Genetic Recombination during meiosis
Using modeling clay make video or ppt demonstrating your knowledge of genetic recombination and crossing over
*Include how can we make a genetic cross that selects for the receive Non-zombie cuteness (NZC ) gene.*Tell us how can we repopulate Rochester with normal non-Zombie babies Post your presentations
on Google Docs!
