Today’s Lesson:

Review Understanding Inheritance

DI: Genotypes

All sexually reproducing organisms have 2 parents

  • Genotypes are written showing 2 alleles

    • (one inherited from each parent)

    • Ex. Bb, TT, tt

  • What symbols should be used?

    • Use the first letter of the dominant phenotype (form)

    • Use the same letter for both dominant and recessive phenotypes

      • Uppercase - dominant

      • Lowercase - recessive

    • Dominant alleles are always written first

  • Write only genotypes to match the phenotypes of the individual.

    • Write two allele symbols for each genotype.

      • Homozygous - both alleles are the same (either dominant or recessive)

      • Heterozygous - one allele is dominant and the other is recessive

  • Dominant phenotypes can be homozygous - RR or heterozygous Rr

    • Either way the dominant allele shows (expresses)

  • Recessive phenotypes are always homozygous - rr

    • Any dominant allele would mask the recessive

Practice - complete the genotype worksheet

Thursday, March 11, 2021. Day 4

Friday, March 5, 2021. Day 6

Do Now:

To Be Completed:

Today’s Lesson:

Finish Sexual reproduction Notes:

Vocabulary:

Fertilization - joining of egg an sperm

  • (in humans results in 23 pairs of chromosomes)

Zygote - fertilized egg

  • able to grow through mitosis

Meiosis - cell division process that makes sex cells

  • produces haploid cells with random 1/2 of the chromosomes

  • Each sex cell is unique - never duplicates

  • insures all offspring are unique

Diploid - body cells with pairs of chromosomes

Haploid - sex cells with random 1/2 of the chromosomes

Advantages of Sexual reproduction

  • Increased genetic diversity

  • makes diverse organisms

  • differences may be an advantage that increases survival

Quiz Monday - Sexual Reproduction, Meiosis (and Mitosis)

  • Please review your notes.

  • No need to turn them in, but make sure they are complete.

Corpse Flower in GC due Sunday Midnight.

Thursday, March 4, 2021. Day 5

Review “Asexual; and Sexual Reproduction - Amoeba Sisters”

Review BrainPOP Pollination

Sexual reproduction Notes, March 3, 2021

Sexual reproduction

  • two parents contribute genetic material

    • Each gives 1/2 of the DNA

  • create genetically unique offspring

  • used by animals, plants, fungi, and protists

Vocabulary:

Egg - female sex cell (animals)

  • made in ovaries

  • (in humans contains 23 single chromosomes)

  • pollen in plants

Sperm - male sex cell (animals)

  • (in humans contains 23 single chromosomes)

  • made in testis

  • ovule in plants

fertilization - joining of egg an sperm

  • (in humans results in 23 pairs of chromosomes)

Zygote - fertilized egg

  • able to grow through mitosis

Meiosis - cell division process that makes sex cells

  • produces haploid cells with random 1/2 of the chromosomes

Diploid - body cells with pairs of chromosomes

Haploid - sex cells with random 1/2 of the chromosomes

Advantages of Sexual reproduction

  • Increased genetic diversity

  • makes diverse organisms

  • differences may be an advantage that increases survival

Quiz tomorrow?
