Mon-Day 1
AP Chem - continued our Electrochem unit with examples of standard and non-standard condition voltaic cells. By varying the concentrations/pressures of the reactants and products, we can produce different cell potentials to do more or less work per coulomb of charge that flows through the circuit
Bio - we discussed four genetic diseases caused by faulty alleles, that code for non-functional or harmful proteins: sickle-cell trait, PKU, Tay-Sachs, and Huntington's disease.
Other genetic diseases that we have discussed, such as Down's Syndrome, are due to trisomy of a given homogous pair as caused by non-disjunction during meiosis.
