Biology 1/1H Chapter 6 Test Review – Meiosis, Sexual Reproduction and Mendelian Genetics
You will need to know all of the vocabulary in Chapter 6. You should have made flash cards for the
Meiosis section. You need to know how meiosis works (PMAT I and PMAT II) and that sex cells are
haploid (half the number of chromosomes as in body cells). You need to know how many chromosomes
(total and pairs) there are in human somatic cells and gametes. You will need to know that Gregor
Mendel was a monk/gardener who is considered the father of modern genetics and how that came to
be. Differentiate between genotypes and phenotypes and be able to calculate each for monohybrid and
dihybrid crosses. Dihybrid crosses will be extra credit on the Bio 1 test and tested on the Honors test.
Honors only – you will need to know how to perform a test cross. Know why variation is important in
the survival of populations and 3 ways that variation ensured by sexual reproduction. Know the
difference between Law of Segregation and Law of Independent assortment.
The following are specific benchmarks that will be on the EOC
SC.912.L.16.1 Use Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze patterns
of inheritance. (Also assesses SC.912.L.16.2.)
SC.912.L.16.2 Discuss observed inheritance patterns caused by various modes of inheritance, including
dominant, recessive, codominant, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles.
Benchmark Clarifications
Students will use Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze patterns of
inheritance. Students will identify, analyze, and/or predict inheritance patterns caused by various modes
of inheritance.
Standard 16 Heredity and Reproduction
Benchmark SC.912.L.16.17 Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and relate to the processes
of sexual and asexual reproduction and their consequences for genetic variation. (Also assesses
SC.912.L.16.8, SC.912.L.16.14, and SC.912.L.16.16.)
SC.912.L.16.16 Describe the process of meiosis, including independent assortment and crossing over.
Explain how reduction division results in the formation of haploid gametes or spores.
Benchmark Clarifications
Students will differentiate the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Students will describe the role of mitosis
in asexual reproduction, and/or the role of meiosis in sexual reproduction, including how these processes
may contribute to or limit genetic variation.
Students will describe specific events occurring in each of the stages of the cell cycle and/or phases of
mitosis.
Students will explain how mitosis forms new cells and its role in maintaining chromosome number during
asexual reproduction.
Students will describe the process of meiosis, including independent assortment and crossing over.
Students will explain how meiosis results in the formation of haploid gametes or spores.
Sample Item 16 SC.912.L.16.17
Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an
event that results from mitosis but NOT meiosis?
A. two stages of cell division
B. replication of cellular genetic material
C. daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
D. four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell |
