Standards……

Describe the events that occur during the cell cycle: interphase, mitosis (nuclear division) or cytokinesis.

Mitosis

Purpose of Mitosis

Cell Growth Repair and replacement of

damaged cell parts Asexual reproduction

Cell Cycle

Mitosis

Meiosis

Purpose of meiosis is chromosomal reduction. It only occurs in the organs that produce sex cells.

Reduction division because it reduces the number of chromosomes in half

TOOOOOO produce sex cells/gametes!

Mitosis vs. Meiosis

Mitosis and MeiosisCRQ…….Standard

Check Patau syndrome can be a lethal genetic disorder in

mammals, resulting from chromosomes failing to separate during meiosis. Identify the step during the process of meiosis when

chromosomes would most likely fail to separate. Describe how chromosome separation in meiosis is

different from chromosome separation in mitosis. Compare the effects of a disorder caused by

chromosomes failing to separate during meiosis, to the effects of chromosomes failing to separate during mitosis.

Standard

Describe how the process of DNA replication results in the transmission and/or conservation of genetic information.

DNA

DNA is a polymer, long chain, of nucleotides.

These molecules contain the genetic information of the cell.

DNA is a nucleic acid

DNA

DNA Double helix Strands are complementary- which means

that each DNA strand has the information to construct the other strand

DNA is anti-parallel One strand runs in the 3’ to 5’ direction and the

other runs in the 5’ to 3’ direction DNA follows semi-conservative replication

DNA

DNA Replication Process Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix and

separates it into two strands Y-shaped replication fork will form as the double

unwinds Single-stranded DNA binding proteins help keep the

strands separate and prevent the strands from getting back together

This process will continue until the entire molecule has been replicated

DNADNA Replication Process

DNAStandard Check

Which process helps to preserve the genetic information stored in DNA during DNA replication?

a. The replacement of nitrogen base thymine with uracil

b. Enzymes quickly linking nitrogen bases with hydrogen bonds

c. The synthesis of unique sugar and phosphate molecules fro each nucleotide

Explain the functional relationships between DNA, genes, alleles, and chromosmes and their roles in inheritance.

Genetics

Genetics is the study of heredity.

Heredity involves the transmission of genetic characteristics

Genetics-Vocabulary Trait-physical characteristic

Chromosome-long stringy aggregate of genes that carries heredity information and is formed from condensed chromatin

Gene-segment of DNA that provides instructions for a particular trait

Allele-alternative form of a gene

Allele-alternative form of a gene Homozygous-same Heterozygous-different

Genetics-Vocabulary

Genetics-Vocabulary

Genotype-genetic makeup of an organism

Phenotype- physical appearance of the organism

Genetics-Practice

Make sure you know how to draw and interpret a Punnett Square

Genetics-Standard Practice

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant over brown fur (b). If one parent rabbit is homozygous brown (bb), what is the probability of producing an offspring with brown fur? Use the Punnett square to determine your answer.

Give the phenotype and genotype ratios.

Genetics-Standard Practice

Give the phenotype and genotype ratios.

Genetics-Incomplete dominance

Incomplete dominance- traits in which the heterozygote shows a different phenotype from the homozygous dominant phenotype.

Genotype: BB homozygous black

Bb heterozygous

bb homozygous white

Phenotype: BB black fur

Bb Grey Fur

bb white fur

Genetics-Codominant

Codominance- traits in which both the alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygote

Genotype: BB homozygous black

BW heterozygous

WW homozygous white

Phenotype: BB black fur

BW Black and White fur

WW white fur

Genetics-Polygenic Traits

Polygenic- traits in which several genes contribute to the overall phenotype.

Examples: skin type of humans has four genes involved and that is why there is such a wide variety of human skin types.

Genetics-Multiple Alleles

Multiple Alleles-traits that have more than two types of alleles.

Example: Blood type

There are 3 different alleles for blood type; A,B,O

A is dominant to O. B is dominant to O. A and B are Codominant.

Genetics-Multiple Alleles

Phenotype Genotype

O OO

A AA or AO

B BB or BO

AB AB

Genetics-Sex-linked

Sex-linked traits are traits that are located on the sex chromosomes. Majority are located on the X chromosome.

Example: colorblindness

Remember: Men have a greater chance of having these conditions because they only have one X chromosome.

StandardSources of Variation

Describe the processed that can alter composition or number of chromosomes (i.e. crossing over, nondisjunction, duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion and inversion

Sources of Variation during Meiosis

Crossing Over- occurs when two chromosomes physically overlap and exchange chromosome material. This process occurs more often on some chromosomes than other chromosomes and changes the DNA sequence within each chromosomes.

This results in an endless number of different possible genetic combinations.

Sources of Variation during Meiosis

Nondisjunction- (not coming apart) is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during meiosis I or II, during anaphase

Chromosomal Mutations

Deletion- mutation in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is missing

Inversion-a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene

Translocation-transfer of part of a chromosome to a different position on a non-homologous chromosome.

Duplication-a mutation in which there are two or more copies of a gene or of a segment of a chromosome.

Point Mutations Deletion- a mutation that results when one or two

nucleotides are removed

Insertion-a mutation that results when one or two nucleotides are added

Substitution-a mutation that occurs when when nucleotide is substituted with another nucleotide

Note: Deletion and Insertion can result in a frameshift mutation

Point Mutations Silent mutations

Does not affect the amino acid

Missense Mutations Causing a change in the reading of the

codons

Explain how natural selection can impact allele frequencies of a population.

Evolution

What is natural selection?

A mechanism of evolutionary changes that happens when individuals that are better adapted in the challenges of the environment than other individuals survive and reproduce.

Evolution

Natural selection accounts for the differences among individuals in a population in survival and the ability to successfully reproduce.

Essentially, some individuals have alleles that produce phenotypes that help these individuals survive in their environment than other individuals. These successful individuals will then be able to pass these traits to their offspring.

Evolution-Darwin

Remember: Populations tend to produce more offspring than

what the environment can support Resources are limited Individuals need to compete for survival There is variation among the individuals in a given

population These variations can be inherited by the offspring Survival of the fittest- the most fit are best adapted to the

environment Overtime evolution can occur due to the advantageous

traits accumulating in a population

Standard

Describe the factors that can contribute to the development of new species (e.g., isolating mechanisms, genetic drift, founder effect, migration)

Forces of Evolution

Genetic Drift Changes in the gene pool of a small

population due to CHANCE!

Chance events may cause the frequencies of alleles to drift randomly from generation to generation, since the existing gene pool may not be accurately represented in the next generation.

Forces of Evolution

Genetic Drift

The Bottleneck Effect The size of the population may be reduced drastically

by such natural disasters as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fires, floods, etc. which kill organisms NONSELECTIVELY.

By chance some individuals survive. In the small remaining population, some alleles may be overrepresented as some under represent and some alleles may be totally absent.

Bottleneck Effect reduces overall genetic variability in a population since some alleles may be entirely absent.

Forces of Evolution

The Founder Effect

The Founder Effect When a few individuals colonize a new

habitat, genetic drift is also likely to occur. Genetic drift in a new colony is called the founder effect.

The smaller the founding population, the less likely its gene pool will be representative of the original population’s genetic makeup.

Forces of Evolution

Gene Flow

Gene flow is the migration of fertile individuals, or the transfer of gametes between populations.

Natural populations may gain of lose alleles by gene flow, since they do not have gene pools which are closed systems.

Forces of EvolutionStandard Check

Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotype and phenotypic variations in a population.

Mutations

Mutations A new mutation that is transmitted in

gametes immediately changes the gene pool of a population by substituting one allele for another.

Mutations are important to evolution because they are the original sources of genetic variation, which is the raw material for natural selection.

Speciation

Speciation is

When one species splits to form two, that's called speciation. In animals, we say two individuals are different species if they can't interbreed with each other. Sometimes this can happen when two sub-populations are separated. Continents can drift apart, migrating birds can be blown off course, or fruit flies can be bred in different labs.

Allopatric speciation is speciation that occurs because populations live in different places. (Contrast this with sympatric speciation, where the two populations might live in the same place but have some other reason why they can't interbreed.)

Standard

Interpret evidence supporting the theory of evolution (i.e. fossil, anatomical, physiological, embryological, biochemical and universal genetic code)

Evidence for Evolution

Fossil Record If today’s species came from ancient

species, then we should be able to find remains of those species that no longer exist.

There are many fossils of organisms that no longer exist, but resemble organisms that do exist today.

Fossil record creates a geological time scale.

Evidence for Evolution

Comparative Anatomy Homologous structures-common ancestor,

structures that are similar in structure but different in function

Example: human arm and bat wing

Evidence for Evolution

Comparative Anatomy Vestigial Organs

Seemingly functionless parts, snakes have tiny pelvic and limb bones, humans have tail bones

Evidence for Evolution

Comparative Biochemistry and DNA There is biochemical similarity in all living

things.

Organisms that are closely related will have less differences in their proteins, which means that the amino acid sequence will be similar which means the DNA nucleotide sequence will be similar.

Evidence for Evolution

Comparative Embryology Developing organisms have similarities in

their early stages of development.
