Review Mendel LO

  • Save This For Later

DI - Mendel’s results

  1. Mendel worked with true-breeding plants

    • When these self-pollinate, they may offspring that match the parent

  2. He cross pollinated true-breeding purple with true-breeding white.

    • The offspring are hybrids.

      • Offspring produced from parents with two different forms of a trait.

    • They were all purple.

    • But, they were different from the parents.

    • They had information from both a purple plant and a white.

    • What would this cause?

  3. Mendel crossed the purple hybrids

    • The white flowers re-appeared in the offspring about 1/4 of the time.

    • This result was consistent every time he crossed hybrids.

    • It worked with other traits the peas had as well.

  4. Mendel experimented with seven different traits.

    • Whenever he crossed hybrids, one form of each trait appeared about 3x more often than its other form.

    • He labeled these traits “dominant” and “recessive.”  How did he decide which was which?

    • What human traits seem to behave this way?

What does this all mean?

MITOSIS, MEIOSIS, CHROMOSOMES AND GENES QUIZ STUDY GUIDE

  1. Mitosis

    • Process used by eukaryotic cells to make copies of themselves

    • used for growth and repair of injury

    • also a form of asexual reproduction for single cell eukaryotic organisms (amoebas and other protists)

    • Chromosomes copy during interphase

    • PMAT

      • Prophase - chrmosomes appear and nucleus dissolves

      • metaphase - chromosomes line up

      • anaphase - spindle fibers seperate chromosoes to opposite sides of cell

      • telophase - two new nuclei form

    • Cell divides in cytokinesis.

    • Produces Diploid cells - cells with full sets (pairs) of chromosomes

  2. Meiosis

    • Process used to make sex cells

    • supports sexual reproduction

    • used by most eukaryotes (but not protists)

    • similar to mitosis but PMAT happens twice

    • produces halpoid cells - cells with half the correct number of chromosomes.

  3. Sexual reproduction

    • Fertilization - sperm and egg combine

    • Zygote - a fertilized egg

    • used by animals, all flowering plants, many fungi, others

  4. Chromosomes

    • Structure made of DNA wound up on proteins

    • contains genes that control an organisms traits

    • humans have 23 pairs - 46 total

    • half from each parent

  5. Key Vocabulary

    1. fertilization - the joining of two sex cells (egg and sperm)

    2. zygote - a fertilized egg

    3. sex cell / haploid cell - cells with half of the normal number of chromosomes,

      • used for sexual reproduction

      • sperm - male sex cell

      • egg - female sex cell

      • also called gametes

    4. body cell / diploid cell - cells with full sets (pairs) of chromosomes

    5. mitosis - a process that divides the nucleus and produces two daughter cells identical to the parent.

    6. meiosis - a process that divides the nucleus twice and produces four sex cells with half the normal number of chromosomes.

    7. sexual reproduction - reproductions where two individuals each combine 1/2 of the chromosomes to make a unique offspring

    8. chromosome - a structure made of DNA wrapped around proteins

    9. gene - sections of the DNA in a chromosome that control a trait (such as eye color)

Today’s agenda:

Check and Review “Intro to sexual Reproduction RaTN”

Key Notes and Concepts - fill out the companion worksheet as we discuss

  1. Sexual reproduction

    • two parents contribute genetic information to create an offspring

    • sex cells - egg and sperm (female, male)

      • each carries half of the genetic information needed

    • fertilization - process of sperm combining with egg

      • creates a zygote (a fertilized egg)

  2. Sexually reproducing organisms have two categories of cells

    • body cells (almost all cells in organism)

    • sex cells (only used for reproduction)

  3. Diploid cells

    • are body cells

      • most numerous (by far) in organism

    • have full set of genetic information

    • pairs of homologous chromosomes

      • homologous - similar genes located in similar chromosomes in same location

      • differ only in the gentic information each gene carries for its trait

        • ex. an eye color gene might have information for blue, grown, green, etc.

  4. Chromosomes

    • strings of many genes made of DNA in nucleus

    • A way to organise the DNA and its genetic information

    • found in pairs in sexually reproducing organisms

      • inherited - one from each parent

    • Each type of organism has a different number of chromosomes

      • humans - 23 pairs

      • fruit fly - 4 pars

      • dog - 39 pairs

      • fern - 63- pairs

Energy Froms and Changes: Quiz study Guide

Work:

  • tranferring energy to an object

  • caused by applying a force through some distance

  • ex. pushing a table with a force of 100N across a floor 1 meter is work.

forms of energy

potential - stored energy

  • gravitational - stored by gravity and height

  • elastic - stored by stretching/compressing certain materials

  • chemical - stored in bonds between atoms

    • foods and fuels are sources of chemical potential energy

  • nuclear - stored in the nucleus of atoms

kinetic - energy of motion

  • thermal - vibration of atoms in a substance due to temperature

  • sound - vibration of atoms in air

  • electric - flow of electric current (electrons) through wires

Mechanical - total of KE and PE in any system of parts

Radiant - light energy, electromagnetic radiation

  • light (visible, infrared, ultra violet

  • microwaves

  • X-rays

  • radiowaves, etc.

Energy Transformations

  • conversion of one form of energy into another.

  • any form of energy can be transformed into any other - though it may require more than one step.

  • Kinetic becomes potential when an object increases it’s hight and loses speed.

  • Potential becomes kinetic when an object loses height and gains speed.

Conservation of Energy

  • during any energy transformation - the total energy does not change

  • total energy before the transformation equals the total energy after the transformation

  • energy is neither created nor destroyed
