Question: What phase of mitosis does a cell spend most of its life in? • How can we figure it out? • Web lab – Due ________________ Onion Cell Mitosis Web Lab
You, like most animals, are __________. • During reproduction, ______________ _____________from two parents combine to make a new __________ organism. • Thus, only ______ of an organism’s genetic information is passed on to its offspring Basic Genetics
________ is cell division that makes haploid gametes. • The chromosome number is reduced by ________. • Only 1 of each ______________ ______of chromosomes gets passed on to the offspring. Meiosis
A trait is a ________________. For example, brown eye color is a trait most humans have. • A gene is a part of a chromosome that carries ___________________________________. For example, humans have one major eye color gene. • An allele is a ________________________. In humans, the most common eye color alleles are brown and blue. Genes, Alleles, and Traits
The 2 chromosomes shown are a homologous pair. • The chromosomes carry different genes. • What % of the haploid cells have the red allele? ___ • What % have the blue allele? ____ Follow the alleles
Since there is an equal chance of each chromosome ending up in an offspring, it’s similar to _____________________ Probability
Genetics: The Study of Biological Heredity Do Now: If you flip a coin twice, what is the probability it will come up heads twice? What is the probability it will come up heads once and tails once? What is the probability it will come up tails twice?
Make A Prediction Please Write: If the two pea plants shown were crossed (mated), what % of the offspring do you predict will be purple? Why?
Anyone Predict 100% Purple? • The first plant was ___________________for purple flowers – meaning when it was ____________________all of the offspring had purple flowers. • The second plant was pure breeding for white flowers. • Which flower color would you describe as _______________in pea plants?______
Mendel “Father of Genetics” Gregor Mendel1822-1884 • Monk from Austria • Studied statistics at the University of Vienna • Garden enthusiast • High school teacher • The importance of his discoveries was only understood and appreciated years after his death
Mendel’s Experiments • Make another prediction: • If two of the offspring from the first cross (the ones that were all purple), what % of the offspring would be purple? Why?
Back to the Genetics • Approximatly______ of the offspring will have purple flowers. Mendel’s study of probability and statistics led him to hypothesize that each plant had two “factors” controlling flower color, one from each parent. How did he know???
Probability • If you flip a coin, what is the probability it will come up heads?______ • What is that probability expressed as a decimal?_______ • If something has a probability of 1.0 will it happen?_______ • You just flipped a coin 4 times and it came up tails all 4 tries. What is the probability it will come up tails if you flip it again?________ • If you flip a coin twice, what is the probability it will come up heads both times?________
Classical Genetics is Based on Probability! • You have ____ copies of each gene, but only one copy or the other is passed on to your offspring. • Which copy of the gene that gets passed on is random. • This is exactly what was happening in the pea plants – see if you can come up with an explaination tonight!
