DO NOW: What is meiosis

California Standards:

2a: Meiosis 2c: Random segregation of chromosomes2b: Which cells participate in Meiosis

Essential Questions:

What is meiosis and why is it special to certain cells? What role does it play in determining your genetic make-up?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR STUDENTS:Given: Notes, Achieve and Compass resources on genotype/phenotype

the learner will:

analyze complex situations to determine real case situations

by: solving the attached problems and explaining their reasoning in a 5 sentence paragraph.

Assessment: Genetics Unit Test on Thursday/Friday. Notebook check on Thursday/Friday.

Individual Instruction:• Log in to your common login at

https://atams.edelements.com• Click on Achieve 3000• Begin working on reading and

taking Cornell Notes on the relevant topics (list attached on next page). After you have taken notes on one of the topics, do the activity on that topic. DO NOT SKIP THE SIMULATIONS.

• When you finish with one topic, proceed to the next. Continue this process until you move to direct instruction.

Direct Instruction:• Ask any questions you have from

individual station.• Notes on meiosis

Collaborative Station:• Complete the three problems on

the next page from last time that we did not get to.

• By next class, complete the Cornell Notes by writing down your questions to ask in class, writing your Jeopardy style questions, and writing your one paragraph summary.

• If you have finished all of this, continue working on Compass Learning and/or Achieve 3000. You should be logging at least six hours per week between the two programs and should have dated notes to show your progress on each.

Blood Types: Whose your mama?Question 1:We already discussed the ABO blood type and the idea of co-dominance (if you have the gene for both dominant traits, they both appear). There is another blood type that is somewhat similar, the MN blood typing system. It is not as medically important, so it is not discussed as often. For the gene in question, the M and N forms each code for different types of glycoproteins (proteins with sugars attached to them) that appear on the surface of the red blood cell. Genotype MM codes only for the M version. Genotype NN codes only for the N version. Genotype MN codes for both versions.a. Predict all possible outcomes for the

grandchildren of two families. In the first family, the grandparents are MM and MN. In the second family, the grandparents are MN and MN.

b. What is the probability of each phenotype?

Question 3:You’re working in the maternity ward of a local hospital as a volunteer and are shocked at the lack of care the staff takes with important paperwork like “this baby belongs to…”You’ve been helping out one mother who just had her fifth child, all with the same husband. She brought in her medical records and you see her four previous children are:Blood Types and PTC taster/non-tasterA and MN tasterB and N non-tasterA and M tasterA and N tasterThe staff gave her “her” child who has O and MN blood type and is a non-taster. Did they make a mistake? How can you tell? (write a 1 paragraph response)

Question 2:The ability for humans to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a genetic trait. People with at least one copy of the normal, dominant allele of the PTC gene can taste PTC; those who are homozygous for a mutant, recessive allele cannot taste it.a. Could two parents able to taste

PTC have a non-taster child?b. Could non-taster parents have

a taster child?c. A pair of taster parents, both

of whom had one parent able to taste PTC and one non-taster parent are expecting their first child. What is the chance this child will be able to taste PTC?

Achieve 3000 Topics: You should have completed each of these AND you should have vocabulary done for each section. For each word listed as a vocabulary word, you need the textbook definition, your own definition, a picture, and the Spanish translation.
