2. Part I. Meiosis and Punnett Squares

3. Standards: Meiosis  BI2. Mutation and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation in a population. As a basis for understanding this concept:  BI2. a. Students know meiosis is an early step in sexual reproduction in which the pairs of chromosomes separate and segregate randomly during cell division to produce gametes containing one chromosome of each type.  BI2. b. Students know only certain cells in a multicellular organism undergo meiosis.  BI2. c. Students know how random chromosome segregation explains the probability that a particular allele will be in a gamete.

4. Standard Explanations BI2. a. Meiosis produces sex cells, chromosomes pairs are separated randomly during this process, producing gametes containing one chromosome of each type (haploid). BI2. a. Meiosis produces sex cells, chromosomes pairs are separated randomly during this process, producing gametes containing one chromosome of each type (haploid). BI2. b.

5. Standards:Meiosis and Punnett Squares  BI3. A multicellular organism develops from a single zygote, and its phenotype depends on its genotype, which is established at fertilization. As a basis for understanding this concept:  BI2. d. Students know new combinations of alleles may be generated in a zygote through the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization).  BI2. e. Students know why approximately half of an individual’s DNA sequence comes from each parent.  BI2. f. Students know the role of chromosomes in determining an individual’s sex.  BI2. g. Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from the genetic makeup of the parents.  BI3. a. Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance (autosomal or X-linked, dominant or recessive).  BI3. b. Students know the genetic basis for Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment.

What we’ve learned so far… Chromosomes contain genetic info Chromosomes contain genetic info We get ½ our genetic info from our mom and ½ from our dad We get ½ our genetic info from our mom and ½ from our dad We don’t look exactly like our parents or siblings. Why? We don’t look exactly like our parents or siblings. Why? Meiosis-formation of sex cells (sperm and egg) Meiosis-formation of sex cells (sperm and egg) Human body cells=46 chromosomes Human body cells=46 chromosomes

9. Meiosis Vocabulary Homologous chromosomes- chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent Homologous chromosomes- chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent Crossing Over – exchange of portions of chromatids, genetic recombination Crossing Over – exchange of portions of chromatids, genetic recombination

10. What are sex cells? Scientific name–gametes (sperm and egg) Scientific name–gametes (sperm and egg) In humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes (haploid=1 set) In humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes (haploid=1 set) Half of 46 Half of 46 Fertilized egg contains 23 chromosomes from each parent (diploid= 2 sets) Fertilized egg contains 23 chromosomes from each parent (diploid= 2 sets)

13. Mendel’s Principle of Dominance Some alleles (diff. forms of gene) are dominant and some are recessive Some alleles (diff. forms of gene) are dominant and some are recessive Organisms with dominant alleles will always show that form of the trait (YY, Yy) Organisms with dominant alleles will always show that form of the trait (YY, Yy) Organisms with recessive alleles will only show that form of the trait when there are no dominant alleles present (yy) Organisms with recessive alleles will only show that form of the trait when there are no dominant alleles present (yy)

14. Mendel’s Laws Law of Segregation: alleles that make up a gene separate from each other, or segregate, during the formation of gametes. Law of Segregation: alleles that make up a gene separate from each other, or segregate, during the formation of gametes. Law of Independent Assortment: the way in which alleles from different genes separate and then recombine is unconnected to other genes. Law of Independent Assortment: the way in which alleles from different genes separate and then recombine is unconnected to other genes.

15. Allele Combinations Homozygotes- two identical alleles for a certain trait (YY,yy) Homozygotes- two identical alleles for a certain trait (YY,yy) Heterozygotes- two different alleles for the same trait (Yy) Heterozygotes- two different alleles for the same trait (Yy)

16. What are Punnett Squares? Punnett Squares are… Punnett Squares are… a grid system for predicting all possible genotypes resulting from a cross. a grid system for predicting all possible genotypes resulting from a cross. The sides of the square represent the possible gamete genotypes of each parent. The sides of the square represent the possible gamete genotypes of each parent.

18. Part II. Evolution

19. Big Idea: Evolution is the theory that life has changed on Earth over long periods of time through a process called natural selection, where individuals with beneficial inherited traits produce more offspring than other individuals. This changes the frequency of the alleles in the gene pool. There is a broad range of evidence that supports evolutionary theory such as fossils, anatomical evidence, and genetic evidence. is the theory that life has changed on Earth over long periods of time through a process called natural selection, where individuals with beneficial inherited traits produce more offspring than other individuals.

26. How does natural selection drive evolution? Struggle for Existence-individuals within a species compete for common resources Struggle for Existence-individuals within a species compete for common resources Survival of the Fittest- Individuals better suited for their environment reproduce more and have more offspring Survival of the Fittest- Individuals better suited for their environment reproduce more and have more offspring
