Genetics
Definitions
Chromosoms
a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
protien
Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. ... These proteins provide structure and support for cells. On a larger scale, they also allow the body to move
gene
a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
"proteins coded directly by genes"
encyclopedia analogy:
correspondence between two things because of a third element that they are considered to share,
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.
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.
Alleles: One pair of genes that appear at a particular location on a particular chromosome and control the same characteristic.
-
Phenotype: All the observable characteristics of an organism that result from inspiration of its genotype.
In class we did a project where we had bot families. We observed how genes get passed down and mutations have occurred. Genes get passed down from your parents to you like eye color, or hair color. Mutations can also occur like an extra toe.
Communicate information about artificial selection/The ways humans have changed the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
-
Crisper: Crisper genetic changes and adds a new specific gene into and organism to fix or make something in the genetic make up to fix something like cancer.

Construct an argument based on evidence for how sextual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sextual reproduction results in offspring with genetic varitaion. Compare and contrast advantages and disadvanteges of asexual and sextual reproduction..

construct and argument based on evidence for how environmental and gdenetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
Use a, in which genetic variations of some traits in a population increase some individuals'likelihood of surviving and reproducing in a changing environment. -provide evidence that natural selection occurs over many generations
