Today: 10/15/09
Please review readings and videos on cell structure and heredity. Prepare for a quiz today on those questions by going to the Regents test site listed in useful links and examining the types of questions that are asked on the Regents about heredity and cell structure. Review at least three or four different years of Regents exams and see if you can answer those questions.
Today 10/16
Please review the quiz you took yesterday by writing out in your notebook each of the 29 questions. Your task is to write two or three sentences that explains the answers for each question.
