Course: Biology I
I can explain how the process of independent assortment, crossing over, and gene segregation play a major roles in producing genetic variation
within a gene pool.
Are the cells resulting from mitosis identical to the original cells or are they unique?
Notes/Discussion:
Explain the concepts of gene segregation and independent assortment.
Explain the process of crossing over.
Explain how linked genes interfere with independent assortment.
Group Review – Each group gets 2 questions
Handout activity questions:
1. Explain the steps of binary fission and identify what types of cells it occurs in.
2. How are binary fission, budding, and mitosis different?
3. Summarize the major events of the mitotic cell cycle
4. Justify how mitosis is used for growth (identical cells) and meiosis is for variation.
5. Differentiate between haploid and diploid cells.
6. Differentiate between somatic and gamete cells.
7. What are the major differences of mitosis and meiosis? (Include a description that identifies not just the difference in purpose, but also in
chromosomal layout.)
8. Explain the concepts of gene segregation and independent assortment.
9. Explain the process of crossing over.
10.Explain how linked genes interfere with independent assortment.
What is the difference between a diploid cell and a haploid cell?
Organize a review sheet from the bell ringers & exit tickets for this unit.

Lesson
Compare and contrast gene segregation and independent assortment. Explain how both play a role in increasing genetic variation within a
population.
Review of handout questions with classroom “share/discussion”
Homework Announcement – Be sure to review your key terms, make your notecards, and review your “cell division” workbook assignments
during Thanksgiving break so you will be prepared for our “review activity” and upcoming cell division test.
