Course: Biology
I can explain the purpose of meiosis, & describe how the events of independent assortment & crossing over produce genetic variation within the
gene pool.
Are the cells resulting from mitosis identical to the original cells or are they unique?
Lecture/discussion-Review steps of meiosis and identify MAJOR DIFFERENCES between mitosis and meiosis.
-Explain the significance of the differences between mitosis and meiosis by justifying them in terms of the goal/objectives of each type of cell
division.
Book Assignment
Draw the stages of meiosis
P. 197-202
P. 206-216
How does meiosis play a role in setting up genetic heritability?
Organize a review sheet from the bell ringers & exit tickets for this unit.
Book Assignment
I can explain the purpose of meiosis, & describe how the events of independent assortment & crossing over produce genetic variation within the
gene pool.
What is the difference between a diploid cell and a haploid cell?
Handout Semester Test for discussion & Review
Notes/Discussion:
Explain which stages of meiosis gene segregation along with the role crossing over (independent assortment) occur, and emphasize the role each
plays…(also explain how linked genes interfere with independent assortment).

Group Review:
Questions from remediation worksheet.
What are the major differences of mitosis and meiosis and how does this difference influence chromosomal layout?
Review activity/discussion
I can describe how each type of cell division relates to growth, asexual (cellular) reproduction, & sexual reproduction.
Explain how gene segregation and independent assortment play a role in increasing genetic variation within a population.
Notes/Discussion:
A. What is heritability?
B. Who is Gregor Mendel, what did he study, and why did he use the pea plant for his model?
C. Intro to Mendelian genetics via sexual reproduction…
D. Connect Mendelian genetics by drawing a connection between meiosis and Punnett’s squares.
E. How did Mr. Robinson compare genetics to servings of food at a lunch line in terms of haploid, diploid, traits, and genotypes?
F. Genetics
P. 213-222
How do the major events of meiosis produce cells that are they unique (assorted) when compared to the parents?

I can describe the key terms used to define the principles within Mendelian Genetics.
Compare and contrast (similarities & differences between) gene segregation & independent assortment.
Notes/Discussion:
Genetics terms & discussion Simple Punnett Square problems (monohybrid crosses…F1 & F2 generations).
Review/solve some simple monohybrid crosses by using Punnett Squares to predict outcomes for F1 & F2 generations.

Probability vs. Frequency
What is the difference between probability and frequency?
P. 215-216, 221, 222
I can describe the concepts and principles within Mendelian Genetics.
Use a Punnetts Square to solve the problems on the board.
“Solve in Reverse” activity.
If given one parent, and the frequency of offspring produced from past breedings, use that information to determine the genotype for an
unidentified parent. (Relate to “paternity tests.”)
Use Punnett Squares to solve double hybrid crosses (F1)
Notes/Discussion:
Additional key terms for more complex phenotypic outcomes (Co-dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic traits, sex-linked traits, etc).
Identify which key terms or concepts you have the most difficulty with, & turn those into me before leaving.

CCSS/ MS Framework Competency/Objective:
4b. Differentiate between the types of cellular reproduction.
5b. Utilize Mendel’s Laws to evaluate the results of monohydrbid & Punnett Squres involving complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex linked, and multiple alleles
(including outcome percentage of both genotypes and phenotypes.) (DOK 2)
