Day 4

(Genetics-4.1/Heredity-4.2)

1. Warm Up

    1. Complete Offspring activity
    2. Discuss Offspring activity
      • We all have the exact same genome and same exact probability of acquiring chromosome combinations in Metaphase I of Meiosis. Despite having the same exact genes, coding for the same exact proteins, that do the same exact things, human beings look vastly different from one another.
          1. Account for this discrepancy?
          2. The "Squarepants" and "McGlumby" offspring are from the same parents, but look very different. How could we reshape this activity so the offspring looked different, but of the same parents.?

2. Activity

3. Homework

    1. Complete Genetic Disease Presentation (share with ramsey.musallam@sonomaacademy.org)
    2. Complete T3 Portfolio


Day 5

(Heredity-4.3)

1. Warm Up

    • Complete presentations

2. Activity

Part I: Gene Transmission Analysis

    1. Both parents have Marfan's disease, a dominant gene mutation. Both parents are heterozygous (Aa) what is the probability that the child will have Marfan syndrome.
    2. One parent has Cystic Fibrosis and the other parent is a carrier. Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive mutation. What is the probability that a child will have Cystic Fibrosis.
    3. Both parents have one gene with the sickle cell anemia mutation and the other not. Sickle cell Anemia is a dominant mutation. Do the parents have the disease? What is the probability that an offspring will not have the disease?
