DO NOW: • Take notes off counter and take out the homework from last night • Do the Do Now sheet and the q’s below 3. Answer these questions: • Which is a chart that follows a trait through several generations of a family? • Punnett square 2. Allele chart 3. Pedigree 2. On these charts, what does a Square represent? A Circle? What if they are shaded in completely? 4. Homework: Unit test next wed., sex linked traits punnett squares
Pedigrees: • Also called a family tree • Squares represent males and circles represent females • Horizontal lines connecting a male and female represent mating • Vertical lines extending downward from a couple represent their children • A shaded symbol means the individual possess the trait • Half-shaded symbols are carriers
Do Now • Take papers off side counter • Take out your signed progress report and missing assignments • Take out the notes from last week (cloning etc.) • Write down homework : • Unit test review worksheet
What are mutations? • Mutations are errors or changes to the genetic code of an organism
What Causes Mutations? • Radiation (X-rays, UV rays, Gamma rays, Micro waves) • Chemicals • Errors in DNA replication • Viruses
What can mutations become? Mutations can be: cancer, birth defects, or disorders Examples: Lung cancer, skin cancer, Tay Sachs disease, albinism
Truths about mutations: Most are minor. Many are harmful. Some are lethal. Very few are helpful.
Mutations and Evolution Changes in DNA (mutations) causes changes in the organism that can give it an advantage or disadvantage.
Mutations and Evolution If it is an advantage, the organism lives and reproduces, passing on the gene. If it is a disadvantage, the organism will die.
In which situation is the color of the moth an advantage or disadvantage?
Mutations and Evolution Mutations lead to evolution of whole groups!
What is selective breeding? • Selective breeding means that humans choose the traits that they want in the offspring and then choose the mates that will give them the desired traits

What is genetic engineering? • Genetic engineering is changing an organism’s DNA to get desired traits • http://www.dnatube.com/video/27883/Genetic-engineering
Pros of GE Crops Enhanced taste and quality Reduced maturation time – grow faster Increased nutrients, yields, and stress tolerance Improved resistance to disease, pests, and herbicides New products and growing techniques Environment Conservation of soil, water, and energy Decreased need for chemicals like pesticides & herbicides In future, may not even need fertilizers Society Increased food security for growing populations Potential to make starvation a thing of the past!
Cons of GE • Potential human health impact: allergens, unknown effects • Loss of biodiversity • Domination of world food production by a few companies • Foreign exploitation of natural resources • Tampering with nature by mixing genes among species • Objections to consuming animal genes in plants and viceversa • Labeling not mandatory in some countries (e.g., United States) Mixing GM crops with non-GM confounds labeling attempts • New advances may be skewed to interests of rich countries

What is the phenotype for all 4 offspring? r R R R
CLONING Cloning is when you make an organism that is genetically identical to another
Cloning Dolly the Sheep was the first animal cloned using DNA from an adult cell- now, dozens of organisms have been cloned…like cows, goats, pigs, cats, and rabbits Cloning
BRAINPOP… DOLLY THE SHEEP
1. An unfertilized EGG is taken from a donor sheep and its NUCLEUS is REMOVED and thrown away (what is thrown away with it??) 1. 2. 2. A BODY CELL is taken from a different donor and its NUCLEUS is REMOVED and SAVED
The NUCLEUS from the body cell is inserted into the space where the NUCLEUS was removed from the unfertilized egg cell and SHOCKED WITHELECTRICITY 3.
4. the electricity makes this “new cell” begin to act like a fertilized egg…it begins to DIVIDE 5. Once the egg divides to form an embryo, it is implanted in a surrogate mother until it is born
QUESTION…… WHO IS THE BABY SHEEP A CLONE OF??
The DNA of the baby lamb is identical to the DNA from the donor’s body cell in step 2, because the body cell nucleus was saved and put into the egg cell!
