Guiding questions1. Can you compare and contrast the processes of mitosis and meiosis?
2. Can you predict the number of chromosomes in a cell before and after mitosis, and after meiosis? Can they explain the difference in number of chromosomes in meiosis? 3. Can you differentiate between reproduction and growth? 4. Can you explain the relationship between genes, chromosomes, and proteins? 5. Can you determine the function and chemical composition of DNA and RNA? 6. Can you replicate a DNA molecule using the correct chemical compounds and sequence of bases? 7. Can you describe the roles of DNA and RNA in the synthesis of proteins? 8. Can you explain the relationship between DNA and proteins and explain the importance of proteins in the function of living organisms? 9. Can you draw and label the developmental stages of a fertilized cell, beginning with a fertilized animal egg (zygote) and going through to the gastrula phase? 10. Can you differentiate between the terms genotype and phenotype? Can the you provide examples? 11. Can you complete a simple Punnett square to predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the offspring using genes for a dominant-recessive trait? 12. Can you describe the difference between a monohybrid and a dihybrid cross? |
