Goal 3 (#1-21)
Learner will develop an understanding of the continuity of life and the changes of
organisms over time.
Mitosis• 1 parent cell makes 2
genetically identical daughter cells
• Diploid Diploid cells• Asexual reproduction• Growth, maintainence,
repair
Meiosis• 1 parent cell makes 4
genetically different gamete cells– Cross over– Independent assortment
• Diploid Haploid• Sexual Reproduction• Gamete = sex cells (eggs
and sperm)
• Crossing over- alleles change place on homologous chromosomes during meiosis= increases genetic variation
• Nondisjunction- chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis= too many (trisomy like Downs Syndrom) or too few
chromosomes (monsomy) in gamete cells
Haploid• Cells with HALF the
chromosomes• Cells with one of each
chromosome• Gamete cells only
Diploid• Cells with TWICE the
chromosomes• Cells with both homologous
chromosome pairs• Somatic (body) cells
Question 1
• A human skin cell contains 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in a human sperm cell?A. 23B. 46C. 92D. 138
Cell Cycle• G1 -GROWTH
• S- DNA replication/synthesis
• G2- preparation to divide
• M- mitosis or meiosis
Sexual Reproduction• Increases genetic variation• Beneficial in changing
environments• Requires 2 parents• Takes more time and energy
Asexual Reproduction • Maintains genetic stability• Beneficial in stable
environment• Requires 1 parent• Faster and more energy
efficient
Question 2
• Which statement is true regarding asexual reproduction as a method of producing offspring?A. common among mammalsB. not a method used by plantsC. produces offspring that are genetically identicalD. limited to unicellular organisms
Genetics (3.03)Inheritance- get traits from parents
Gene- segment of DNA that codes for protein
Allele- version of gene (R or r)
Homozygous- same alleles (RR or rr)
Heterozygous- different alleles (Rr)
Dominant- allele that covers other allele (R)
Recessive- allele only seen in homozygote (r)
Phenotype- what it looks like (red or white)
Genotype- genes it has (RR, Rr, rr)
Question 3
• To determine the molecular sequence of a gene for a protein, which molecule should be analyzed?A. tRNAB. ATPC. DNAD. rRNA
• Independent Assortment- separation of alleles during meiosis is random– Each gamete gets different combination of parents
genes– Why you are not exactly the same as biological
siblings!!
Monohybrid Cross Dihybrid Cross

Question 35
• As scientists have developed more productive crop varieties, farmers have switched from growing many traditional varieties to new high-yield varieties. For example, in India, the 10,000 varieties of rice once grown have been reduced to 10 major ones for most of the rice crop.
• Besides the varieties of rice being reduced, what else is reduced by this practice?A. types of soil nutrientsB. the gene pool for riceC. food chains that include riceD. human dietary choices

Question 36
• Some species protect themselves by spraying a foul-smelling chemical when threatened. Why would a spray defense be a useful mechanism for a species?A. Predators would confuse the species with others that
produce foul smells.B. Spray can turn a predator away before an individual is
harmed.C. It is hard for other species to mimic a spraying defense.D. There is no known defense against foul-smelling sprays.
