  2. Hawley Hornets Team Dr. Batten Shon B. Justice N. Logan Jacobi Cody Wilkins Ethan Batten-Hicks $200 from Hawley!!! $650 Total raised so far A way you and your family can help fund research to fight childhood cancers: Donate at least $1 dollar to the Hawley Hornets team.

  3. On the slip of paper put your name, date, and answer the following: Did you finish all 18 flashcards? Did you review your flashcards? How did you study study for this quiz? What can you do to prepare for Friday’s vocabulary quiz? Which topic are you doing for the Genetics Project? Quiz on Traits, Mendel, and Punnett Squares

  4. On the BACK On the FRONT Definition/characteristics: A trait or characteristic that is developed or learned through life. Traits you aren’t born with. Traits GENERALLY not controlled by DNA. Examples: Walking, speaking English, dyed hair, pierced ears, Glasses, skin cancer? Acquired Trait Acquired trait Inherited trait Sexual reproduction Heredity DNA Chromosome Gene Allele Genotypes Phenotype Dominant Recessive Gregor Mendel Pea Plants Punnett Square Monohybrid cross Homozygous(Purebred) Heterozygous (Hybrid) Mutation Genetic Disorder Sickle Cell Anemia Hemoglobin Pedigree Genetics Vocabulary Flashcards due 2/28/14

  5. Choose ONE of the following projects to do as a summative MAJOR assessment for the Genetics Unit. Do detailed, quality work to get full credit. Genetics Projects

  6. Sickle Cell Anemia

  7. Description: Sickle Cell Anemia is a recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation that deforms the hemoglobin proteins in red blood cells leading to a sickle shape. Cause: Sickle cell anemia is caused by a single mutation in the hemoglobin gene on chromosome 11 resulting in a change in the hemoglobin protein. Inheritance: Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder. Patients who carry only one allele for the sickle cell mutation (Ss) are carriers of the sickle cell trait. Only people who inherit two mutated alleles have sickle cell anemia (ss). Incidence: SCD affects 90,000 to 100,000 Americans. SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 500 Black or African-American births. SCD occurs among about 1 out of every 36,000 Hispanic-American births. SCT occurs among about 1 in 12 Blacks or African Americans. (Source: CDC) Treatment: There is no cure for sickle cell anemia however you can treat the symptoms. Pain medication, Hydroxyurea (reduces painful crisis), blood transfusions, antibiotics (to prevent infections especially in children). McDougall p. C146-147 Sickle Cell Anemia

  8. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. What are the chances of a child being born with sickle cell anemia if both the father is a carrier of the sickle cell trait (Ss), but the mother is not (SS)? Sickle Cell Anemia

  9. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. What are the chances of a child being born with sickle cell anemia if both the father is a carrier of the sickle cell trait (Ss), but the mother is not (SS)? What are the phenotypes of the children? Sickle Cell Anemia

  10. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. What are the chances of a child being born with sickle cell anemia if both the father is a carrier of the sickle cell trait (Ss), and the mother is a carrier (Ss)? Sickle Cell Anemia

  11. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. What are the chances of a child being born with sickle cell anemia if both the father and mother are carriers of the sickle cell trait (Ss)? What are the phenotypes of the children? Sickle Cell Anemia
