Grade 9 Science June Exam Outline Outcomes Covered Explain the importance of using precise language in science and technology. (109-14) Illustrate and describe the basic processes of mitosis and meiosis (304-11). Distinguish between sexual and asexual reproduction in representative organisms (305-2) Compare sexual and asexual reproduction in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. (305-3) Explain the importance of using the terms gene and chromosome properly. (109-14) Identify major shifts in scientific understanding of genetics (110-3). This assessment covers material in: Chapter 1 of the textbook (Pages 12 – 23) Chapter 2 (pages 46-59), Chapter 4 (110 – 114), Notes taken in class, material covered through assignments and classroom activities, and the questions throughout the chapters that were completed for homework. For this Assessment you should: Chapter 1 Know the names, and function of the cell parts involved in cell division, o The nucleus, DNA, chromatin, chromosomes, centromeres, spindle fibres, centrioles, cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall (pages 12, 13, and 16 to 19) Understand the cell cycle which includes important events such as: o DNA replication o Mitosis Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase/Cytokinesis and o Interphase (pages 17 to 23) Know the names of organisms that reproduce asexually. (pages 29-35) Chapter 2 Know definitions of the flowing terms. Variation, Sexual Reproduction, Gametes, Fertilization, Zygote, Homologous Pairs, Diploid, Haploid, Meiosis, Gonads, Ovaries, Testes, Sperm, Eggs, Hermaphrodite. Know the names of the phases of meiosis, what each phase looks like, and what happens in each phase. prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II (pages 48 and 49) Be able to compare and contrast Mitosis and Meiosis (pages 17 to 21 and 48 and 49) Egg and Sperm formation (page 50) External and Internal fertilization (pages 54 to 57) Be able to provide examples of organisms that use each type of fertilization. Know the names of organisms that reproduce sexually. Be able to compare and contrast Sexual and Asexual Reproduction in terms of the costs and benefits of each. (pages 51-59) Chapter 4 Understand and be able to define the following terms: Biotechnology, Selective Breeding, Reproductive Technologies, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Nucleotide, and Nitrogen Base Know some of the major contributions/contributors to genetic research including: o Gregor Mendel, Thomas Morgan, James Watson and Francis Crick and Har Gobind Khorona and Marshall Nirenberg. (Pages 112 – 113) Be able to draw and label a string of DNA (page 114) Know that DNA has a double helical structure Know the difference between DNA, Genes and Chromosomes.
