9-11 LS1G Cells use the DNA that forms their genes to

encode enzymes and other proteins that allow

a cell to grow and divide to produce more

cells, and to respond to the environment.

occur by changing the activity of proteins

within cells and/or by changing whether and

how often particular genes are expressed.

Week of November 26


Nov. 26  Monday - Learning Objective:


9-11 LS1I

Meiosis, Fertilization, and Offspring Variation

(1) Describe that the process of fertilization allows for variation among offspring from a single set of parents.

(2) Describe possible allele combinations in an egg or sperm cell given a combination of two traits and a parent’s genotype for the two traits.

9-11 LS1I

Meiosis, Fertilization, and Offspring Variation

(1)  Describe the process of meiosis (e.g., each egg or sperm cell receives only one representative chromosome from each pair of chromosomes found in the original cell) and/or product of meiosis (e.g., egg and sperm cells with only one set of chromosomes).

(2)  Describe that the processes of recombination during meiosis (e.g., segregation, independent assortment) result in a unique combination of genetic information in the egg or sperm cell.

(3)  Describe the relationship between the unique combination of genetic information in an egg or sperm cell and the differing characteristics in offspring from a single set of parents.
