UNIT 8 BIOLOGY: Meiosis and Heredity Page 148 CP: CHAPTER 6, Sections 1-6; CHAPTER 7, Sections 1-4; HN: CHAPTER 11, Section 1-5 Standard B-4: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the molecular basis of heredity. Indicators: B-4.5 B-4.6 B-4.7 B-4.8 Summarize the characteristics of the phases of meiosis I and II. Predict inherited traits by using the principles of Mendelian genetics (including segregation, independent assortment, and dominance). Summarize the chromosome theory of inheritance and relate that theory of Gregor Mendel s principles of genetics. Compare the consequences of mutations in body cells with those in gametes.

Characteristic of having two of the same allele at the same locus of sister chromatids Characteristic of having two different alleles that appear at the same locus of sister chromatids
Allele that is not expressed unless two copies are present in an organism s Allele that is expressed when two different alleles are present in an organism s Characteristic that is inherited Trait that is produced by two or more genes Chromosome that directly controls the development of sexual characteristics Chromosome that contains genes for characteristics not directly related to the sex of the organism Collection of all of an organism s genetic information that codes for a trait Collection of all of an organism s physical characteristics Heterozygous phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotype Heterozygous that equally expresses the traits of both alleles Cell that has two copies of each chromosome, one from an egg and one from a sperm Cell that has only one copy of each chromosome Organism whose genome contains a gene for a certain trait or disease that is not expressed in the organism s phenotype Chart of the phenotypes and s in a family that is used to determine whether an individual is a carrier of a recessive allele Agent that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in an organism Page 149

Dominant Allele that is not expressed unless two copies are present in an organism s Allele that is expressed when two different alleles are present in an organism s Recessive Specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another Trait controlled by two or more genes One of two chromosomes that determine an individual s sex; females have two X chromosome; males have one X chromosome and one Y. Genetic makeup of an organism Autosome chromosome; chromosome that is not a sex chromosome (and does not contain genes determining gender of individual) Physical characteristics of an organism Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another Situation in which both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism Term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of Term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes Carrier Organism whose genome contains a gene for a certain trait or disease that is not expressed in the organism s phenotype Chart that shows the relationship within a family Mutagen Agent that can induce or increase the frequency of mutation in an organism Page 149
