PPT-Chapter 10 : Mendel & Meiosis

Week 18 notes Monday Tuesday WarmUp What is a chromosome What is one segment of DNA called What is genetics Agenda Section 101 Mendels Laws of Heredity Lesson amp Notes. Mendel and the Idea of the Gene. You Must Know. Terms associated with genetics problems: P, F1, F2, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, character, trait, true breeding, hybridization, test cross, phenotype, and genotype.. (Body Cells). (Sex Cells). Examples of . somatic (body) cells:. spleen, kidney, eyeball. . The DNA in these cells are NOT passed on to your offspring!. Examples of . gametes (sex cells): . ova/egg and sperm. Chapter 10 Section 1. Mendel’s Experiment. In the mid 19. th. century, a monk named Mendel studied how traits are passed from one generation to another.. Experimented on . garden peas. .. .  green pea plants reproduce sexually (produce gametes). Mendelian inheritance has its physical basis in the behavior of chromosomes. You Must Know. How the chromosome theory of inheritance connects the physical movement of chromosomes in meiosis to Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Sexual Life Cycles. modes of reproduction. diploid/haploid and meiosis. meiosis I and meiosis II phases. key differences between mitosis and meiosis. variation in position of meiosis in life cycles. why sex?. With special thanks to. Kathrin Stanger-Hall. and. Jess Blum. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Jean . DeSaix. Kelly Hogan. University of California, Santa Barbra. Rolf . Christoffersen. Stu Feinstein. . Mendel and His Pea Plants. Gregor. Mendel. Austrian. Recommended to enter an abbey by his physics teacher. Becoming a friar allowed Mendel to continue his studies in various science fields without having to pay for it. 1. Introductory Vocabulary. 2. Heredity. .  . t. he . transmission of traits from one generation to the next . Variation. .  when o. ffspring . differ somewhat from their parents and . siblings. The . Work of . Gregor. Mendel. Genetics. :. The scientific study of heredity. (Is now at the core of a revolution in understanding biology.). Gregor. Mendel. : Was an Austrian Monk, who was in charge of the monastery garden. He was the first person to trace the characteristics of successive generations of a living thing (pea plants).. Before we start genetics, let's review the process of what makes us all look different compared to our siblings, family, and classmates!. Sexual Reproduction. Sexual reproduction creates genetic variability. That is why we all look different and you look different from your siblings! . SC STANDARD B 4:. The student will understand the molecular basis of heredity.. Essential Question. How does segregation of alleles contribute to genetic variation?. Origins of Hereditary Science. Mendel” Breeding Experiments. Life Cycles. Overview: Variations on a Theme. Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind. Genetics . is the scientific study of heredity and variation. Heredity . 6.1 Chromosomes and Meiosis. Cells can be divided into 2 major groups:. Somatic (body): most of body tissue and organs. Germ: found in reproductive organs, develop into gametes. Gametes are sex cells – ova (eggs) & spermatozoa (sperm). Section 12.1. Genetics. – study of heredity; how traits are passed from parents to offspring. Gregor. Mendel. “Father of Genetics”. History of. Lived in a monastery in Austria in 1842. In 1851, moved to the University of Vienna where he studied science and mathematics.
