Week 10 of 22
OCTOBER 12 TO 15
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
If your genome shows a risk, do your relatives have a right to know? A result about you is partly a result about them.
Reading a family tree for inheritance pattern. Dominant, recessive, sex-linked, each with a signature shape once you know what to look for.
A small DNA difference changing a real trait, using the PTC tasting case. Most of whether you taste it comes down to three linked base positions in one gene, TAS2R38, inherited together as a set.
Writing to a family, not to a teacher. Accurate, and readable by someone frightened.
PARTNER
Written as a percentage it reads like a verdict. Say it as families out of a hundred.
Marking period audit. Everything checked against the rubric with a confidence rating I had to be honest about.
Chess. I keep losing and I am losing slower. Someone pointed out that I plan my own moves and never look at what my opponent is building.
