BLOCK 1/7 – 1/8. What did you learn over your Break? What are the different stages of the Cell Cycle?. Thursday 1/9. What does the term “epigenetics” mean? All of your cells contain identical genes/DNA, so what makes your cells different (hair, teeth, skin)? Explain “nature vs. nurture”.

  1. BLOCK 1/7 – 1/8 • What did you learn over your Break? • What are the different stages of the Cell Cycle?

  2. Thursday 1/9 • What does the term “epigenetics” mean? • All of your cells contain identical genes/DNA, so what makes your cells different (hair, teeth, skin)? • Explain “nature vs. nurture”

  3. Friday 1/10 Starting with one cell: • What is the end result of Mitosis? • How many cells? • Haploid or Diploid? • Identical or different from original cell? • What is the end result of Meiosis? • How many cells? • Haploid or Diploid? • Identical or different from original cell?

  4. Monday 1/13 • What are three ways in which genetic variation can occur via meiosis/sexual reproduction: • When do the above three occur?

  5. BLOCK 1/14 - 1/15 • In Humans, gametes contain _____ autosome(s) and ______ sex chromosome(s) • Alternate versions of a gene or trait (such as eye color or hair texture) are called _________ • Separation of Homologous Chromosomes occurs during ____________ of Meiosis ____ • Sister Chromatids separate during _________ of Meiosis _____

  6. Thursday 1/23 • A = Dominant a = recessive (Airhead) (brainiac) • Show a Heterozygous genotype: • Show a Homozygous recessive: • Show a Homozygous dominant: • Draw a Punnett Square crossing Aa X Aa: • What is the Phenotypic Ratio: • What is the Genotypic Ratio:

  7. Monday 1/27 • Explain what a Test Cross is and why you would perform one: • What are the possible gamete combinations for an individual with the following genotype: DdRr ________ ________ ________ ________ Remember to use the F-O-I-L method !! • How many squares are in a Punnett Square used for a Dihybrid Cross?

  8. BLOCK 1/28 – 1/29 • Compare Codominance and Incomplete Dominance, give examples: • What are the genotypes possible for the following Blood Types: • Type A: • Type B: • Type AB: • Type O:

  9. Thursday 2/6 • What is the estimated age of Earth? • How long ago did Dinosaurs become extinct? • Of all the life forms to ever exist on Earth, what percentage have gone extinct? • How many years have humans been on Earth?

  10. Friday 2/7 • List and correct three misconceptions about Evolution:

  11. Monday 2/10 With the extinction of the Dinosaurs, what class of animals became dominant? Describe Darwin’s idea of “Natural Selection”: What were reptile’s main adaptations for life on land? What class of animals did reptiles evolve from? What current animals are thought to be the closest relatives to small Dinosaurs?

  12. BLOCK 2/11 – 2/12 The Geologic Times Scale is broken into 4 Era’s. Name them, oldest to most recent? What Era could be termed “The Age of Dinosaurs”? List the periods of the Paleozoic, and name one Evolutionary Milestone that occurred in each one. When did the Cenozoic Era begin and end?

  13. Quarter 4 • Spring 2014 Quarter 4

  14. BLOCK 3/25 – 3/26 List the 8 levels of Taxonomic Classification, from broadest to most specific: List the Six Kingdoms: Which 2 of the Six are Prokaryotic? Which 4 of the Six are Eukaryotic?

  15. Thursday 3/27 • Give 2 examples of how bacteria can be helpful: • Give 2 examples of how bacteria can be harmful: • Explain “antibiotic resistance”: • Who proposed the two-name classification system (binomial nomenclature)?

  16. BLOCK 4/1 – 4/2 Of the 3 Domains, which 2 are most closely related? Which category of Protists contains both unicellular and multicellular organisms? What are the 3 types of “Fungus-like” protists? What does it mean if a protist is pathogenic? List 2 examples of a pathogenic protist:

  17. Friday 4/4 • List the 4 Main types of Fungi, their “nickname, and an example of each: • A lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a(n) ______________________ - type of fungi and a ______________________ partner such as a(n) _________________ or a(n) ________________.

  18. Thursday 4/10 List the 8 Levels of Classification for living things List the Six Kingdoms and give an example of an organism for each List the 2 Prokaryotic Domains: Name the Eukaryotic Domain: What Kingdom do algae belong in?

  19. Friday 4/25 List 9 Phyla of the Animal Kingdom as discussed: What are 3 types of body Symmetry What are the 4 directional terms used to describe the surfaces/ends of a specimen:

  20. Block 5/6 – 5/7 • What are three types of Population Distribution? • What factors will increase a population? Decrease? • Define Carrying Capacity (K): • What are traits of r-strategists? • What are traits of K-strategists?

  21. Thursday 5/8 What is the difference between a population and a community? What trophic level would a secondary consumer occupy?
