Life Science: Genetics
1. Students should define terms and outline Chapters Four and Five from their textbooks.
2. The class has a brief survey of traits. Each student should interview his or her family and graph the results for Tuesday.
3. Here is a brief overview of the material: questions, objectives, key terms.
Genetics
Terms:
Allele
Co dominance
Crossing Over
Diploid
Dominant
Fertilization
Gamete
Genetics
Genotype
Haploid
Heredity
Heterozygous
Homologous chromosome
Homozygous
Hybrid
Law of independent assortment
Law of segregation
Meosis
Phenotype
Recessive
Sexual reproduction (asexual reproduction)
Trait
X-linked traits
Zygote
Objectives:
1. Explain the basis of heredity in terms of genes and transmission.
2. Understand the role of meiosis and fertilization in maintenance of chromosomes between generations.
3. Learn how the rules of probability predict patterns of inheritance.
4. Manipulate Punnett Squares and describe the resulting genotypes and phenotypes.
5. Describe Gregor Mendal's work and contributions to the Genetics' field.
6. Explain how DNA is the template for RNA, specifies amino acid sequences into proteins, which govern biochemical reactions.
7. Perform a variety of hands-on activities, labs, and simulations.
Questions:
1. What is the role of genes in heredity?
2. How does probability predict gene inheritance?
3. Explain the contributions of Gregor Mendal's
4. Compare dominant and recessive traits.
5. Distinguish between genes and alleles.
6. Compare phenotypes and genotypes.
7. Identify gene symbols.
8. How do homozygous and heterozygous alleles differ?
9. How are pedigrees used?
10. What is the role of Punnett's Squares?
11. Explain how genes are transcribed and translated through DNA transcription and translation.
12. Identify evidence of dominance.
13. What are common traits?
14. What are types of genetic disorders?
15. What are some practical applications of DNA technology?
