Learning from the Fossil Record Grade 8 Science Name: Charlie Sutton Date: 1-11-11 Genes and Chromosomes Justified True or False Worksheet Statement PRE True or False TRUE PRE JustificationWhy did you choose T or F? known POST True or False TRUE POST JustificationWhy did you choose T or F? In the DNA are genes that determine who you are Genes are found in DNA, which are found in chromosomes, which are found in a cell’s nucleus. TRUE GUESS TRUE TO FIND SOMONES GENES THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO Each trait of an organism is determined by a gene. TRUE known TRUE Each gene gives us a different trait from either parent Humans have 46 chromosomes, half come from each parent. TRUE GUESS TRUE We get 23 chromosomes from each parent The cells in a person’s eyes only have the eye color gene, all other cells do not have that gene. FALSE GUESS TRUE This is because these cells are only relevant to traits that relate to their to them. Only some organism’s cells contain chromosomes, genes, and DNA. TRUE known FALSE All organisms have DNA, CHROMOSONES, and GENES We have two genes for each trait in our cells but each gene might have different instructions for the same trait. ? NO IDEA WHATSO EVER TRUE I chose this because we do have two genes for each trait. One from my mom and one from my dad. And these genes might have different The instructions that determine an organism’s traits are found in an organism’s DNA. Learning from the Fossil Record Grade 8 Science Name: Charlie Sutton Date: 1-11-11 Genes contain information that can be passed from parent to offspring. TRUE known TRUE Inherited characteristics are called traits and are passed from parent to offspring. TRUE known FALSE Reproduction does not play a role in inheriting traits. FALSE known FALSE instructions because if it is for eye color my mom might have green eyes, so the gene’s instructions’ is to have green eyes, and my dad’s might be different. When an egg and sperm are connected together the genes from the sperm and egg are copied exactly to the offspring. This means that the information from the genes inside the sperm and egg are also going to be passed to the offspring. I chose this because we inherit two genes from our mother and father combined to go under the category of the “hair color trait”. Reproduction is the whole reason why we inherit traits. Without reproduction the sperm and egg wouldn’t create an offspring with a copy of the sperm’s 23 chromosomes, and the egg wouldn’t create a copy of it’s 23 chromosomes.
