I hope you did, too. <br /> <br />Last year in Bio30S, we learned mostly about the human body and how it works. In Bio40S, we will broaden our focus to include all life on Earth. We will begin our year by studying how cells replicate themselves, how DNA is passed from generation to generation, and how DNA is 'read' by cells. <br /> <br />If you miss a Bio40S class, be sure to check this blog (<a href="http://www.bio40s.blogspot.com/">http://www.bio40s.blogspot.com/</a>) after 4 pm to see if any work or tests were assigned that day. <br /> <br />I'm looking forward to spending a great year together with you. <br /> <br />Dr. Coodin <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34063320-5968615874478273232?l=bio40s.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12801012204700951190noreply@blogger.com
