PREP BIOLOGY
DO NOW:
What is meiosis
California
Standards:
2a: Meiosis
2b: Which cells participate in Meiosis
Essential
Questions:
What is meiosis and why is it special to certain cells? What role does it play in determining your genetic
make-up?
2c: Random segregation of chromosomes
LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR STUDENTS:
Notes, Achieve and Compass resources on genotype/phenotype
Given:
the learner
will:
analyze complex situations to determine real case situations
by:
solving the attached problems and explaining their reasoning in a 5 sentence paragraph.
Assessment: Genetics Unit Test on Thursday/Friday. Notebook check on Thursday/Friday.

Click on Achieve 3000
Begin working on reading and
taking Cornell Notes on the relevant
topics (list attached on next page).
After you have taken notes on one
of the topics, do the activity on that
topic. DO NOT SKIP THE
SIMULATIONS.
When you finish with one topic,
proceed to the next. Continue this
process until you move to direct
instruction.
Direct Instruction:
Collaborative Station:
•
•
•
Ask any questions you have from
individual station.
Notes on meiosis
•
•
Complete the three problems on
the next page from last time that
we did not get to.
By next class, complete the Cornell
Notes by writing down your
questions to ask in class, writing
your Jeopardy style questions, and
writing your one paragraph
summary.
If you have finished all of this,
continue working on Compass
Learning and/or Achieve 3000. You
should be logging at least six hours
per week between the two
programs and should have dated
notes to show your progress on
each.
Blood Types: Whose your mama?
Question 1:
We already discussed the ABO blood
type and the idea of co-dominance (if
you have the gene for both dominant
traits, they both appear). There is
another blood type that is somewhat
similar, the MN blood typing system. It
is not as medically important, so it is
not discussed as often. For the gene in
question, the M and N forms each
code for different types of
glycoproteins (proteins with sugars
attached to them) that appear on the
surface of the red blood cell. Genotype
MM codes only for the M version.
Genotype NN codes only for the N
version. Genotype MN codes for both
versions.
a. Predict all possible outcomes for the
grandchildren of two families. In the
first family, the grandparents are
MM and MN. In the second family,
the grandparents are MN and MN.
b. What is the probability of each
phenotype?
Question 2:
The ability for humans to taste the
chemical phenylthiocarbamide
(PTC) is a genetic trait. People
with at least one copy of the
normal, dominant allele of the
PTC gene can taste PTC; those
who are homozygous for a
mutant, recessive allele cannot
taste it.
a. Could two parents able to taste
PTC have a non-taster child?
b. Could non-taster parents have a
taster child?
c. A pair of taster parents, both of
whom had one parent able to
taste PTC and one non-taster
parent are expecting their first
child. What is the chance this
child will be able to taste PTC?
Question 3:
You’re working in the maternity ward
of a local hospital as a volunteer and
are shocked at the lack of care the staff
takes with important paperwork like
“this baby belongs to…”
You’ve been helping out one mother
who just had her fifth child, all with the
same husband. She brought in her
medical records and you see her four
previous children are:
Blood Types and PTC taster/non-taster
A and MN
taster
B and N
non-taster
A and M
taster
A and N
taster
The staff gave her “her” child who has
O and MN blood type and is a nontaster. Did they make a mistake? How
can you tell? (write a 1 paragraph
response)
Achieve 3000 Topics:
You should have completed each of these AND
you should have vocabulary done for each section. For each word listed as
a vocabulary word, you need the textbook definition, your own definition,
a picture, and the Spanish translation.
