Genetics - Coggle Diagram
Genetics
Develop and use a model to show that sexually reproducing organisms have two of each chromosome in their cell nuclei, and hence two variants (alleles) of each gene that can be the same or different from each other, with one random assortment of each chromosome passed down to offspring from both parents.

-
the bothead simulation helped us visualize what happens when you select and allele from both parents and combine them to get their phenotypes. We used a dice to roll and if we rolled a six, we got a mutation card to apply to our babybot.
-
-
Develop and use a model to describe that structural changes to genes (mutations) may or may not result in changes to proteins, and if there are changes to proteins there may be harmful, beneficial, or neutral changes to traits.

-
-
Encyclopedia Analogy Mutation - when an article or page is ripped out or removed/ an article or page is added multiple times
-
Communicate through writing and in diagrams that chromosomes contain many distinct genes and that each gene holds the instructions for the production of specific proteins, which in turn affects the traits of an individual.
genes - made up of DNA and some act as instructions to make proteins. each person has two copies of each gene.
-
-
chromosomes -a chromosome is a long DNA molecule made of nucleic acids and proteins that is found in the nucleus of a living organism.
-
encyclopedia analogy - cells are made up encyclopedias and each page of that encyclopedia represents a gene
-
Communicate information about artificial selection / the ways humans have changed the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
-
-
-
-
Construct an argument based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
-
-
Construct an argument based on evidence for how asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Compare and contrast advantages and disadvantages of asexual and sexual reproduction.
-
-
Use a model to describe the process of natural selection, in which genetic variations of some traits in a population increase some individuals' likelihood of surviving and reproducing in a changing environment
