Goal 3 (#1-21)

Learner will develop an understanding of the continuity of life and the changes of

organisms over time.

Page 2: Goal 3 (#1-21)
Page 3: Goal 3 (#1-21)
Page 4: Goal 3 (#1-21)

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)

Page 5: Goal 3 (#1-21)

• Crossing over- alleles change place on homologous chromosomes during meiosis= increases genetic variation

Page 6: Goal 3 (#1-21)

• Nondisjunction- chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis= too many (trisomy like Downs Syndrom) or too few

chromosomes (monsomy) in gamete cells

Page 7: Goal 3 (#1-21)

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

Page 8: Goal 3 (#1-21)

Question 1

• A human skin cell contains 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in a human sperm cell?A. 23B. 46C. 92D. 138

Page 9: Goal 3 (#1-21)

Cell Cycle• G1 -GROWTH

• S- DNA replication/synthesis

• G2- preparation to divide

• M- mitosis or meiosis

Page 10: Goal 3 (#1-21)

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

Page 11: Goal 3 (#1-21)

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)
