Mr. Worden's AP Biology class

This is a year long college level course designed to prepare students for the AP Biology exam which students must take in May (a passing grade may make them eligible for college credit). Students must put a lot of time into reading and preparing for tests/quizzes. Students will need to keep a laboratory notebook to show to your propective college that you did laboratory work in school. AP classes are challenging and help build your thinking skills, writing skills and your confidence.

blood types

Blood types are somewhat complicated because of the multiple alleles in one genes set (IA, IB, i) and the other Rh + or Rh- alleles.
Giving or receiving blood transfusions to the wrong person can kill them or help them if you know the rules.
Check out the two new resources! Blood types- learn about blood types and how surface protiens on the red blood cells make us all different. Also play the 'Blood Type game' where you decide what blood to give which patient. Be careful, you could virtually kill someone (a cartoon character!).
Tomorrow we will review that, as well as, linked genes.

Have fun Mr. Worden
