4 genetically unique haploid cells!
Chromosomes undergo CrossingOver = Different Gene Combos!!
4 genetically unique haploid cells!
Get different chromosomes =
Independent Assortment
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Chromosomal Defects
There Should be two copies of every chromosome (i.e., 23 pairs for
Humans) in every cell due to Sexual Reproduction.
But, chromosomes stick together during
Crossing-Over and can accidentally stay
attached.

Blood Types
Not all Traits have just the two allele
choices.
Three Alleles.
IA, IB, and i.
ABO Blood Types are controlled by
one gene, but have three options.
Heterozygous Type A Parent = IAi

Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Genetics/Inheritance
Not all Traits have just the one controlling Gene.
Polygenic Traits show great Variation due to the options.
Three identical Genes with two
possible alleles showing Incomplete
Dominance!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Human Genetics
You supposed to know about Human examples of each type of
Inheritance and possible Mutational Mistakes.
Huntington’s Disease and the
Brain – Dominant!!
Cystic fibrosis - recessive!!
PKU – defective
enzyme = diet
can be adjusted!!
Sickle-Cell Anemia codominant!!
Hemophilia – X-linked!!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Pedigree
For this Pedigree
If the Trait is
recessive – who
is affected?
Who is a
Carrier?
?
For this Pedigree
If the Trait is
Dominant – who
is affected?
Who is a
Carrier?
Why is this NOT a Sex-Linked Trait?
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Recombinant DNA
Since DNA is “Universal”, it can be cut and transferred from species to
species. You need to understand the basic process.
Restriction Enzyme to “cut”, Plasmid = Vector to transport Gene, as
Recombinant DNA, and Transgenic Organism that Expresses foreign
DNA
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Cloning
Transgenic Organisms can be difficult to form. Cloning will produce
Identical “Offspring” that also express the new Genes.
Dolly (right) is a clone,
Polly (left) is a clone that carries a human
gene for Factor IX that is a treatment for
Hemophilia B.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – DNA Fingerprint
Why is it clear that D2 and S2 are NOT children
of these parents?

Who Did It?!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Pasteur Experiment
Remember!
The Cell Theory
states:
1) The Cell is the
Basic Unit of
Life.
2) All living
things are
Cells or made
of Cells.
3) Cells come
from Preexisting Cells.
Pasteur showed
BioGenesis!!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Miller/Urey Exp.
Miller/Urey
demonstrated that
Organic Molecules
could form in
conditions similar to
the early Earth.
Organic Molecules are
the Building Blocks of
Life!

Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Evolution
Evolution refers to the fact that organisms Change through Time.
Horse
evolution is
well
documented in
the Fossil
Record.
They change
from smaller,
four-toed
swamp
dwellers into
huge grasseating, singletoed
grasslands
specialists!
Individual
organisms DO
NOT evolve!
They already
have their
DNA that
codes for their
traits!!
Populations
evolve as they
sort out the
possible genes /
alleles that
support their
survival and
Fitness!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – The Fossil Record
The Fossil Record shows real organisms from the past. Allows
comparison to modern groups to evaluate how they have changed.
Newest
Advanced
Cenozoic
Age of Mammals!
Mesozoic
All comparisons of Shape and Structure
= MORPHOLOGY!!
Age of Dinosaurs, 1st
Angiosperms/Insects!
Paleozoic
w/first vertebrates,
trilobites, early
plants and animals!
Oldest
Primitive
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Natural Selection
Evolution occurs to make organisms “Adapted” to their Niches. Occurs
through Competition that modifies the Survivors.
Adaptations:
Competition:
Any structure, process, or behaviors
that allows an organism to survive in its
Niche.
Direct interactions for the same
Resources. There can be Only One
per Niche.
Peppered Moths of Europe
Saw-whet Owl and Kestrel are both small
predators. Coexist because?
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Selection, Evolution
Evolution leads to differences in Populations that were once all similar.
Experiment by Diane Dodd – 1989.
1. Original
Population / Species.
2. Separated into
two groups using
different Food
Sources.
3. Generations =
Sex/Meiosis/Mutations
that form new alleles =
Difference!.
4. Stay
Separate! New
Species of Flies!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Variation in Evolution
If all organisms of a species were THE SAME, they could not be
differentiated through Competition. They would be Evenly Matched!
A “King” Cheetah importantly
represents?
Lions in a Pride all look very similar –
WHY?!
How do Lion Prides make sure there is
some Genetic Variation?
Cheetahs are in REAL trouble due
to Inbreeding. Why is this picture
so Rare?
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Variation in Evolution
Variation in Populations is essential to Evolution = Choices!
Variation in Ladybugs.
All different patterns of Garter Snakes.
This Variation is in color banding
patterns, but could also be in any other
trait since they all change randomly and
could be important features.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Variation in Evolution
Species always start highly as small inbred populations, but develop
Variation over time through what processes?
Khoisan “Bushmen” of S.
Africa are most ancient
recognized “race” of H.
sapiens.
Hawaiian Happy-Face Spider
Mutation forms New Alleles / Options!
Meiosis allows for Random Spread of all
of those differing traits.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Speciation
Members of the SAME Species should:
Look Alike = Same Adaptations = Morphological Species Concept,
Interbreed Only with “Their” Species = Biological Species Concept.
Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles are
obviously related! Once the Same!
Interbreeding!!
Now! Sexual Selection and Reproductive
Isolation Keep them Separate from other
species. Do Not Interbreed and they are
Different SPECIES!!
They were split up as they were
separated into small discrete
populations = Geographic
Isolation!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Fitness
Survival of the Fittest is based on the ability to survive and have
Offspring. Offspring then pass on the Genes that provide for the
successful Adaptations of Evolution.
Pallidus Octopus
guarding its eggs.
And
Newly hatched
Octopus.
Three Striped Poison Dart Frog
carrying its eggs on its back until
they hatch.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Evolution/Adaptation
PRO!
EU!
Life on Earth is all related!
But the broad diversity stems from
Evolution of new and different
Traits for new and different Niches.
Endosymbiosis!
Multicellular!
Prokaryotes 1st
Eukaryotes 2nd
Multicellular Kingdoms Next
And so on!
Different Niches = Different
Adaptations.
All from the same original
Organism!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Evolutionary Traits
All have same basic structure indicating that they
are related = Tetrapod Vertebrates!!
HOMOLOGOUS!!
Divergent Evolution.
But,
These are
Wings!
ANALOGOUS!!
Convergent Evolution.
BUT – Both are adapted for Flight via different successful
structure. Wings Fly and LOOK similar, but Different!
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Adaptive Radiations
Organisms have to come from somewhere! Pre-existing species
CHANGE as they adapt to new environments. Divergent Evolution.
In some spectacular cases, major groups start with a single species that
separates into many species = Divergence.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Convergent Evolution
Organisms that live in similar Niches tend to possess similar adaptations.
This is called “Convergent” because different groups become alike.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Names and Groups
Naming Organisms is important to separate and recognize them.
Binomial Nomenclature provides very
specific names for organisms that
cannot be confused with other
organisms,
Genus species are two words!
Linnaeus’s Seven Levels.

Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Virus
Viruses are NON-LIVING Particles that use Host Cells!
This is HIV.
Retrovirus with
RNA.
Lysogenic Virus!
Infects T Cells of
the Immune
System which
compromises the
ability to fight off
Infection and
Cancer.
Also similar to Influenza which
causes Flu!
Viruses can only be defeated by YOUR Immune System! Smallpox has a
30% death Rate depending on your Immune System.
Second Semester Exam Review Topics – Vaccines / Immunity
Viruses are difficult to treat because they use Host Cells. But they can be
prevented by helping your Immune System Target Them!
T Cells activate
your Immune
System IF THEY
CAN IDENTIFY
the Invader =
ANTIGEN!
They then
Activate the B
Cells and attack
Cell Targets like
Tumors and Viral
Infected Cells!
B Cells make
ANTIBODIES!
These Bind to and
Target the
Antigens for
Destruction!!
Antibodies spread
throughout the
body to “Mark”
the Antigens.
Since Vaccines expose your body to Antigens safely, your Immune
System Can Now Make Antibodies for Survival!
