Presentation Transcript

  1. Activity 14 Genes and Chromosomes

  2. Read the introduction. • How does the behavior of chromosomes in cells help to explain the behavior of genes that are passed from one generation to the next?

  3. Challenge • How do genes and chromosomes behave during meiosis and sexual reproduction?

  4. Student Sheet 14.1, “Three-level Reading Guide: Genes and Chromosomes,” presents statements that require three levels of understanding. Determine which statements are supported by the text.

  5. Crossing Over

  6. Analysis 1 • Explain the relationship between genes, chromosomes, and DNA.

  7. Analysis 2 • A species of snail has 24 chromosomes—12 pairs—in each somatic cell. How many chromosomes are there in a snail egg cell? A snail sperm cell?

  8. Analysis 6 and 7 6. The chromosomes pictured below are from a fruit fly that is heterozygous for two traits. How many kinds of gametes could form if this were in a male? A female? 7. Consider your answer to Question 6. Explain how crossing over could affect the gametes that result.

  9. Revisit the Challenge • How do genes and chromosomes behave during meiosis and sexual reproduction?

  10. Key Vocabulary • chromosome • crossing over • diploid • gamete • gene • haploid • karyotype • law of independent assortment • meiosis • mitosis • nondisjunction • somatic cell
