Extra notes for the Genetics unit Recessive and Dominant Trait Disease

Science Genetics

Objectives:

6.31 Identify some changes in traits that can occur over several generations through natural occurrence and selective breeding. (TEKS/SE)(6.11A)

112.22b (6.11) Science concepts. (A) The student knows that traits of species can change through generations and that the instructions for traits are contained in the genetic material of the organisms.

3 of 3 Homework test review due Wednesday/Thursday

 

Wednesday/Thursday

Grade test review

 

Check student for understanding the difference between SELECTIVE BREEDING and NATURAL OCCURENCE.

Some examples of  SELECTIVE BREEDING are breeding dogs, horses, roses, tomatoes, cotton and cattle.
The class will understand why the finch’s beaks had to adapt to its food.

How the giant tortoise shell (V-back/Straight) adapted to eating leaves above their heads.
Natural Occurrence - insecticide kills all but a few insects. Survivors pass the trait for insecticide resistance to their offspring’s. In time most of the insects are resistant to the insecticide.
In addition to the above review the five pages of vocabulary notes and Recessive and Dominant Trait Disease.

 

The second half of the period the VHS tape “Breaking the code” DNA Molecule.
 

Student will review mitosis (46 chromosomes humans) and meiosis (23 chromosomes sex cell for male and female humans)

Students will review notes for
Friday's test

Below answers to the genetics test review
1. People learned about cells from the invention of what? Microscope
2. What is heredity? Pp 231 Heredity is the passing of traits from one generation to the next.
3. What is sexual reproduction? Pp 235 two parent cells join together and develop into a new individual
4. What is asexual reproduction? Pp 235 a single parent cell offspring that are exactly like the parent
5. What is selective breeding and give 3 examples? Pp 223 when humans, not nature, select which plants or animals will reproduce base on certain traits 1. Dogs (150 different breeds) 2. Roses 3. Horses
6. What is natural selection and give 3 examples? Pp 225 Organism that is best adapted to their environment is more likely to survive and reproduce.
7. How many chromosomes do sex cells carry? Humans 23 chromosomes half the original number of the parent cell
8. How many chromosomes do all other cells carry? Humans 46 chromosomes the exactly the same number as the parent cell
9. What is a recessive trait and how is it represented? Pp 232 Traits that seemed hidden.  LOWER CASE LETTER
10. What is a dominant trait and how is it represented? Pp 232 Traits that appeared CAPITAL LETTER
11. What is deoxyribonucleic acid and what is it called? Pp 187 genetic material
12. What are two types of reproduction? Pp 235 Asexual and sexual
13. List 5 diseases that can be passed from parent to offspring
