(Block, 100 min)

Homework Due Today•Rough Drafts of 4 Journal Entries

▫Pregnancy, Birth, Infancy, Toddler, Elementary, Junior High, High School, College

Daily Question•What is the difference between living and

existing? Which are you doing? Explain.

•Page 38.A

Essential Skills and Knowledge•Essential Skill #2.1 (Genetics): I can

describe the importance of mutations and sexual reproduction in leading to genetic variation in a population and how an organism’s phenotype depends on its genotype, which is established at fertilization.

•***Note: Development (both before birth and after) will be reviewed on Wed/Thu

Game Time•Rules:

▫Everyone must be standing▫When you are called, if you:

Get the answer right, you may sit Get the answer incorrect, stay standing

▫If someone gets an answer incorrect, I will ask anyone to raise their hand to answer: Standers get priority Sitters can answer if no standers can

▫When everyone is sitting, we will begin again.

homologous pair.2. How many pairs of chromosomes does a

human have?3. Explain what fertilization is.4. What is the purpose of interphase?5. What is DNA called when it is

uncondensed (i.e. you can’t see it under a microscope)

6. Describe what sister chromatids are.

Questions1. Describe three things that occur during

Prophase I.2. Describe what crossing over is.3. Describe what occurs during Metaphase

I.4. In Anaphase I, how many chromosomes

are at each pole of the cell? Do these chromosomes have sister chromatids?

5. Describe two things that occur during Telophase I.

Questions1. What is the process after Telophase I by

which cells split apart?2. What is the purpose of Meiosis II?3. At the end of Meiosis, how many

chromosomes are in each daughter cell?4. Are they haploid or diploid? Do the

chromosomes have sister chromatids?5. Are any of the final gametes identical?

Asexual and Sexual reproduction?3. What is the purpose of spermatogenesis?4. What is the name of the parent cell in

spermatogenesis?5. What is the name of the two cells after

Meiosis I of spermatogenesis?6. What are immature sperm called?

Questions1. How many sperm are produced in

spermatogenesis?2. What is the name of the parent cell in

oogenesis?3. What are the names of the two cells

after Meiosis I of oogenesis?4. What are the final products of

oogenesis?5. How many viable eggs are produced in

oogenesis?

Questions1. The idea that alleles on different chromosomes

do not affect each other during Meiosis is called Mendel’s Law of _________ _________.

2. If a genotype is heterozygous and shows typical Mendelian genetics, what will the phenotype show?

3. If I have two of the same alleles, what two types of genotypes could this pair possibly be?

4. Explain why Mendel’s cross between yellow peas and green peas resulted in all yellow peas.

Questions1. I want to cross two traits of an organism. The

mother is AABb and the father is AaBb. What are the gametes that the mother and the father will produce? (i.e. what do I put on the sides of a dihybrid Punnett Square?)

2. Describe the phenotype of an organism that is heterozygous for a trait that displays incomplete dominance.

Questions1. Describe what a polygenic trait is? What

are two examples?2. Describe what a trait with multiple alleles

is? What is one example?3. Describe why males end up with X-linked

genes more frequently than females.4. What is the purpose of the Y chromosome?5. What is the purpose of the scrotum?6. Describe the pathway of sperm through the

male reproductive system?

Questions1. What do the seminal vesicles secrete?

What does the prostate gland secrete? Why is semen basic?

2. What is the first phase of the female’s menstrual cycle?

3. What occurs during the follicle stage of the female’s menstrual cycle?

4. What is ovulation? Why are females more likely to get pregnant during this time?

Questions1. Describe the purpose of the endometrium.2. If fertilization does not occur, describe

what occurs during the luteal stage.3. If fertilization does occur, describe what

occurs during the luteal stage.4. Describe why fertilization actually requires

several hundreds of sperm.5. Describe what nondisjunction is.6. If nondisjunction occurs during Meiosis I,

how many incorrect gametes result?

Questions1. Describe what monosomy is.2. What is the only survivable monosomy?

Describe it.3. Describe what trisomy is.4. What is the name of trisomy 21 and what

are two characteristics?5. What is the name of trisomy 18 and what

are two characteristics?6. What is the name of trisomy 13 and what

are two characteristics?
