Honors Biology Unit V Meiosis, Genetics
Purpose: Now that you have background on how genes code for proteins, we can begin to study how genes
influence traits. There will be many new vocabulary words, but the subject is fascinating and gives reasons
for why organisms are the way they are. The field is related to the study of many diseases including
cancer.
Objectives: By the end of the unit you should be able to:
1. Distinguish between chromosome, gene, allele, dominant and recessive genes, homozygous and
heterozygous, genotype and phenotype, haploid and diploid, egg, sperm, gamete, zygote and
understand the concept and role of fertilization in the process of genetics
2. Describe the laws of segregation and independent assortment
3. Conduct punnett square analysis to solve monohybrid & dihybrid crosses:
- Set up crosses showing the possible distribution of alleles in eggs and sperm
- Show the probable genotype frequencies in the offspring
- Show the probable phenotype frequencies in the offspring
4. Explain and conduct genetic crosses using: multiple alleles, polygenic traits, codominance,
incomplete dominance, pleiotropy, epistasis, and sex-linked traits and conduct sex-linked crosses
Be sure to include:
- Describe how ABO blood groups are an example of codominance and multiple alleles
- State the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes and how females are XX and
males are XY
- Explain how a female can be a carrier for X-linked alleles
-Be able to explain outcome of polygenic traits
-Be able to do and explain simple punnett squares showing incomplete dominance
-Be able to do and explain simple punnett squares showing, Pleiotropy and Epistasis
5. Deduce the genotypes and phenotypes of individuals in pedigree charts
6. Use chromosome banding, size, and shape to organize a karyotype and explain the importance of
karyotyping
7. Identify, describe, and label the stages of meiosis and how gametes are formed and problems that can
arise during meiosis
8. Describe gene regulation of cell functions (for example the environment can influence how often a
gene is expressed)
9. Describe inherited traits and cell functions as primarily determined by the proteins expressed by genes
