Two things today. First, here is everything that was due since your last catch-up day, so you can see what you still owe and turn it in. Then the rest of the period is Research Track time.
Check off what you have actually turned in. Anything left unchecked is what today is for: open that day and use its Turn it in card.
- Wed, May 5, 2027 · Biotech safety debateOne sentence explaining why antibiotic-resistance selection markers are a specific biosafety concern, plus three lab rules you would require.
- Thu, May 6, 2027 · Transformation and gel wet labWet lab data record: transformation plate colony counts for each condition, gel photograph with labeled lanes, raw band position measurements, and one result comparison to pre-lab prediction.
- Fri, May 7, 2027 · Gel mapGel analysis table with ladder band migration distances, standard curve (log fragment size vs. distance), estimated sample fragment sizes, predicted restriction map sizes, and a written conclusion on plasmid identity.
- Mon, May 10, 2027 · Notebook submitComplete transformation and gel laboratory notebook: transformation notes, plate colony counts with units, gel standard curve, fragment-size estimates with units, conclusion on plasmid identity, one error source, and one future improvement.
- Tue, May 11, 2027 · Research ethics debateOne sentence on the consequence of a broken chain of custody, plus a written ethical standard statement for your own independent project.
Your code, not your name. This tells your teacher who needs time, not who to mark down.
Were you out for any of these? You get two school days for every day you were absent, so this deadline moves with you.
Those days fed these parts of your end-of-course WebXam (expected to be 072125, still being confirmed). Heaviest first.
- Molecular and Genetic Technology · 27% of the exam
- Laboratory Standard Operational Procedures · 22% of the exam
- Culturing · 21% of the exam
The sessions picked out for Biotechnology for Health (Biomedical Innovations) all sit earlier in the track, so this day does not name a new one. Open the track and take the next session you have not done. The case runs the length of this course.
Open the Research TrackResearch Track work is enrichment, the same track your lessons link to. It does not replace anything on the checklist above.
