Topics:
- Meiosis and Gametogenesis
- Hereditary events control the passage of structural and functional information from one generation to the next.
- What features of meiosis are important in sexual reproduction?
- Why is meiosis important in heredity?
- How is meiosis related to gametogenesis?
- What are the similarities and differences between gametogenesis in animals and gametogenesis in plants?
- How is genetic information organized in the eukaryotic chromosome?
- How does this organization contribute to both continuity of and variability in the genetic information?
- How did Mendel's work lay the foundation of modern genetics?
- What are the principal patterns of inheritance?
- Describe cell division: interphase and DNA replication, meiosis, and cytokinesis
- Describe cellular specialization sequence: blastula, morula, zygote, etc.
- Review and discuss how sex cells are produced
- Egg production
- Sperm production
- Review Mendialian genetics including dominate and recessive traits
- Monohydbrid crosses
- Dihybrid crosses
- Sexual inheritance and non-sex linked traits
Time Range:
14 days
Suggested Teaching Strategies:
- Students will read and take their own notes on the chapter (maybe in outline form)
- Lecture over cell cycle including: interphase and DNA replication, meiosis, and cytokinesis
- Students will fill out crossword puzzle that uses terms from the chapter
- Students will fill out chapter study guide to complement their lecture and board notes
- Use models of mitosis
- Critical Thinking: Students will use computer and do activities on 13.1 thru 13.8 on the Meiosis and 15.1 thru 15.8 Genetics on CD Rom from Campbell's Biology
