Week 15: Meiosis and Heredity
Mrs. Partin's Biology Class
Important Dates for the Week
This week, we will be exploring the process where gamete cells for sexual reproduction are formed, how DNA from two parents are passed on to offspring, and how that DNA is expressed as heritable traits. We will also be diving into the inheritance patterns of those traits--are they linked to autosomal choromosomes or our sex chromosomes? We will learn about some disorders that may occur in that inheritance as well. Finally, we will be learning to identify patterns in family history by use of pedigrees!

I am a Nationally Board Certified Science Teacher with 10 years of teaching experience in North Carolina. In addition to teaching at Wheatmore High School, I am an instructor for North Carolina Virtual Public Schools and teach students across multiple classes of Physical Science. I am also a wife to my husband of 12 years and a mother to 3 children ages 8, 5, and 4 as well as a foster mother. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, serving our church in the areas of missions and as an elder, I serve on the music ministry, I love spending time with my family, reading, playing my flute, and running.
