Make A Karyotype. Genetic Disorders. Cloning.

 Hi, Luis, David,María,Judit, José Mº, Juanjo, Alberto, Juanma, Manu, Ruben, Pepe  and Jose Manuel!
Homework for the next Friday:  


                                   Common Risk-Associated Diseases

Most common diseases result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. We inherit genetic factors that make us more or less susceptible to developing a particular disease. But our overall health is also a product of our environment.

Learn more about these diseases, who is at risk, and how that risk can be reduced:         

Heart Disease and Stroke, Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Cancer.

I am looking forward to reading your reports!


For the next week......

GENETIC DISORDERS
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/chromosomes/diagnose/

Chromosomal Abnormalities

In these disorders, entire chromosomes, or large segments of them, are missing, duplicated, or otherwise altered.
  Cri-du-Chat Syndrome
Down Syndrome
  Klinefelter Syndrome
  Turner Syndrome
  Williams Syndrome

Cloning

 Click and Clone: Using what you know about Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, create a clon of Mimi, a brown female mouse!

Is It Cloning? Or Not?

  What is Cloning? and Click and Clone, you can explore different approaches researchers use to clone mammals. Although cloning is one type of technology used in reproduction, not all reproductive technologies involve cloning. In the game , you can decide for yourself whether the scenario described involves cloning:

Plants

 Let's take a few minutes to look at plants of the world.

 What do plants have in common?

Let's take a look at mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms!

Almeria is located in one of the world's biodiversity "hot spots". Here you can find from species typical of tundra through to subdesertic flora, this being the flora of Almería it is one of the richiest in Europe.
There are in Almería a lot of endemic plants, that is, species that are only found here or that  have their habitat in a reduced area that includes our province.
Never pull them up or take them home!
In this link you will find most of the beautiful flowers that grow in your land:

The reproduction function.

Firstly, listen and read!
 Learn the facts about sexual health with articles about puberty, menstruation, infections, and everything you wanted to know, for boys and girls:
