Below are the topic sentences for the essential question paragraphs. You must write a paragraph explaining each answer and have a colored picture for each paragraph. EQ 6 What role do chromosomes play in inheritance? According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes. Walter Sutton Sex cells Diploid EQ 7 What events occur during meiosis? During meiosis, the chromosome pairs separate and are distributed to two different cells. The resulting sex cells have only half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism. pg 172-173 the captions to the 7 steps of meiosis EQ 8 What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes? Chromosomes are made up of many genes joining together like beads on a string. Chromosomes Genes Alleles EQ 9 What forms the genetic code? The order of the nitrogen bases along a gene forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein will be produced. DNA—double helix o sugar, phosphates, nitrogen bases chromosomesDNAorder of bases amino acids proteins EQ 10 How does a cell produce proteins? During protein synthesis, the cell uses information from a gene on a chromosome to produce a specific protein. RNA Messenger RNA Transfer RNA pg 178-179 the captions for the 4 steps of protein synthesis EQ 11 How can mutations affect an organism? Mutations can cause a cell to produce an incorrect protein during protein synthesis. As a result, the organism’s trait, or phenotype, may be different from what it normally would have been.
