I’m still plugging away at my genetics course, and will be until May — so get used to me plopping in these long academic tutorials 3 times a week. You can ignore them, my students can’t.
I’m trusting that the students now have solid foundation in basic Mendelian genetics, so now it’s time to start cutting the mooring ropes so we can drift off into more complex and difficult waters.

“We can use punnett squares
To show possible crossing pairs
Like the ears, the chin, the hair, taste PTC
It shows every combination of our genes
The reason we look like you and me”

Somehow I just KNEW someone wrote a song about Punnett Squares. :D

Maybe you could put some fun GM organism inside chocolate and give it to your students, just to see their faces when you tell them about it.

Ugh. I hate Punnett squares.

I know it is not relevant but OH NO! The sky is going to fall. They are all going to hell. They weren’t baptized because he said ‘we’ and not ‘I’. And then they received Communion when they weren’t baptized!!!

@#5 malleefowl,
Wow! I always knew Jesus was an evil git, but now to find out he is a lawyer at heart, that takes the cake.

When I was very young,I misheard that babies who died without being baptised were doing Limbo,I tried to imagine
all those nappy wearers crawling under a bar three ft above their heads.
