INTRO TO GENETICS 4.1-4.2.2
By Chrissy, Matthew, Louise, and Savannah
Pre-assessment 1. Define gene and allele.2. What does homologous chromosome
mean?3. What is one thing eukaryote
chromosomes are made of?4. Define gene mutation.5. What is sickle cell anemia?6. What is the purpose of meiosis?
4.1.1 Eukaryote chromosomes are made of
DNA and protein.This is because chromosomes in a
Eukaryote are found in a nucleus.Chromosomes contain DNA and protein.
4.1.2 Genes Definition- a unit of heredity in a living
organismLocated in DNAControls a specific characteristic (example-
eye color)Occupies a location on the chromosomes
called a locus
4.1.2 Allele Definition- a specific form of a gene
Differs from other alleles by one or a few bases only
Occupies the same gene locus as other alleles of the gene
4.1.2 Genome Definition- the total genetic material of
an organismCell or organismHuman genome project
4.2.1 Gene Mutation Definition- a permanent change in the
genetic makeup of an organismCan affect only one nucleotide or multiplesOccur in two ways
○ Inherited from a parent○ Acquired during a person’s lifetime
Ex. Manx cat
4.1.4 Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Anemia is a disease passed
down through heredity that is caused by a base substitution mutation in DNAMutation occurs during transcription and
translationGlutamic acid is replaced by ValineGAG mutates to GTG causing sickly, sickle
shaped red blood cells
4.2.1 Meiosis Meiosis is a reduction division of a
diploid nucleus to form haploid nucleiThe product is 4 identical sex cellsHaploid: Cells used in sexual reproduction.
Contain 1 set of chromosomes.Diploid: Cells used as skin, blood, or muscle
cells. Contain 2 sets of chromosomes
4.2.2 Homologous Chromosomes Definition- 2 chromosomes, one from
each parent, that look the sameSame sizeSame banding pattern in a karyotype Carry the same genes but not necessarily
allelles Ex. 2 chromosomes for eye color that look
the same, but one may be brown and the other may be blue
4.2.2 (cont.)Chromosomes will pair up and split during
meiosis
Activity Each person will receive a balloon and a
slip of paper with a question on it Take a sharpie and write your question
on your balloon When we begin, pass the balloons
around and choose a person to answer a question
If you answer correctly you may pop your balloon. If not we will continue to pass it.
