Learning Log: How does the cell inherit its chromosomes?
AGENDA
1. Do Now (5 min)
2. Mini Lesson (10 min)
3. Activity (45 min)
Key Concepts:
1. What were the results of Mendel’s experiments or crosses?
2. What controls the inheritance of traits in organisms?
3. What is probability and how does it help explain the results of genetic crosses?
4. What is meant by genotype and phenotype?
5. What is codominance?
6. What role do chromosomes play in inheritance?
Assessment: One-on-one questioning, tests, quizzes, station activities, learning log.
Curriculum Standards:
1. Recognize that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits. These instructions are stored in the organism’s chromosomes. Heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another.
2. Recognize that hereditary information is contained in genes located in the chromosomes of each cell. A human cell contains about 30,000 different genes on 23 different chromosomes.
3. Compare sexual reproduction (offspring inherit half of their genes from each parent) with asexual reproduction (offspring is an identical copy of the parent’s cell).
