GENETICS - Coggle Diagram
GENETICS
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.
-
-
Trait-a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person
-
Communicate information about artificial selection / the ways humans have changed the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
-
-
-
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.
-
Phenotype-the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
-
-
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.
-
Proteins-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
-
Chromosomes-a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
-
-
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
-
Construct an argument based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.
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. Provide evidence that natural selection occurs over many generations.
