(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!
