Unit 7: Genetics Projected Test Dates: ________________ Chapters 11 (Genetics) and 10 (Meiosis) Essential Concepts and Skills Reading 1. Be able to define and utilize the following key terms of genetics: a. gene: a section of DNA that carries a trait. b. allele: a form of a gene c. dominant: a trait that when present will be expressed (seen). d. recessive: a trait that will only be seen when it is the only one present. e. genotype: the genes that an organism has. f. phenotype: the appearance of a trait in an organism (what you see). g. homozygous: having two of the same alleles: a purebred : RR or rr h. heterozygous: having two different alleles: a hybrid : Rr i. Punnett square: tool used top predict inheritance of traits from one generation to the next. j. monohybrid: the crossing of one trait (height). k. dihybrid: the crossing of two traits (height and color). l. probability: the chances of inheriting a particular trait. m. P1: the parental generation n. F1: the “first filial” or offspring of the P1 generation. o. F2: the “second filial” or offspring of the F1 generation. p. autosomes: the 22 pairs of body chromosomes in our body. q. sex chromosomes: the one pair of chromosomes that determines the gender of the organism. Makes up the 23rd pair. pp. 263 – 266 pp. 270 - 274 2. Using tools of inheritance, such as a Punnett square, to predict the probability of inheriting a trait. a. Completing a monohybrid cross. b. Completing a dihybrid cross. c. Completing a test cross to determine the genotype of the parental generation using the genotype of the offspring. pp. 237 - 274 3. Meiosis a. The steps and processes involved. b. The similarities and differences to mitosis. pp. 275-278 4. You will be able to predict inheritance from patters other than pure dominant or recessive. a. Codominance: traits of the P1 are expressed equally in all of the offspring. Ex: a speckled chicken and human blood types. b. Incomplete dominance: the traits of the parents are blended to create a new expression. Ex: red + white = pink c. Sex linked: traits are inherited on the sex chromosome, most often the X chromosome. Ex: color blindness and hemophilia d. Polygenic Inheritance: inheritance that depends on more then one gene. Ex: hair, skin, eye colors and height. pp. 270-274 5. Applying Genetics: This portion will resume after spring break and will focus on what happens when you take what you know about genetics and manipulate the variables. a. test crosses b. selective breeding c. inbreeding (line-breeding) d. pedigrees e. Recombinant DNA f. cloning g. genetic engineering.
