Mixing of Genes CROSSING OVER
MINI-LAB: Observing cell reproduction • Mount a prepared slide of a cell undergoing cell division. 2. Draw the cell and label the ff structures: a. cell membrane b. chromosomes 3. Describe what you see. • Note: Follow guidelines on • Making Diagrams • Accurate representation • 2-D diagram • Proper labels • Neatly presented
Crossing over: Why we are different from our parents VC; Where do genes come from
DNA COPIES ITSELF:Base pairings: A- T C – GDNA moleculeunzips breaking the base pairs forming 2 sides VC: DNA Replication
A: TACCGGATGCCAGATCAAATCWhat is the other side?__________________________ Given the code of a DNA molecule, what would be the code of the new DNA strand? B: TACGGGGGCGTAACCACAACTWhat is the other side?__________________________
VC: How DNA copies itself From DNA to protein
2.CODE IS READ. The code of the new strand (DNA copy) is READwith theT replaced with a new base Uracil or U. A: ____________________________________ B: ____________________________________
3. CODE IS TRANSLATED. The code is read in groups of 3 called codons). A: ____________________________________ B: ____________________________________
Find the Amino Acid sequence that is coded: Use the following guide. A: ____________________________________ B: ____________________________________
New copy (RNA) is read and translated Genes(DNA) Make copies of itself Crossover (mixing of code) www.squidoo.com/geneticsresearch Amino acids (protein) are formed A trait is expressed VC: What is phenotype

While the copying of DNA is a very accurate process, what happens when a letter is altered? VC: DNA Mutation
