Objectives:
1. Determine the relationship between genes, DNA, and chromosomes
2. Discuss Mendel's laws of genetics (law of segregation and law of independent assortment) and apply them to meiosis and genetics.
3. Differentiate between the genotype and phenotype of an organism. You should be able to predict the phenotype of an organism based on its genotype.
4. Distinguish between dominant and recessive traits, and properly notate the genotype for this pattern of inheritance.
5. Use probability to determine the possibilities of genetic crosses.
6. Correctly use and interpret a Punnett Square.
7. Relate the Punnett square to meiosis and the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
8. Be able to correctly notate, predict the outcomes of, and use punnett squares for the following modes of inheritance: dominant/recessive, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, sex determination and sex linkage.
9. Be able to complete a blood typing (multiple alleles) Punnett square, and predict the outcomes of a genetic cross.
10. Understand blood transfusions and the concept of antibodies and antigens. You should be able to discuss what blood types can give and receive from which blood types, and why.
11. Correctly complete a dihybrid square and predict the outcomes of the geentic cross (H).
12. Distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes on a Karyotype. As with last unit, you will need to be able to discuss genetic diseases and correctly read and notate a karyotype. You should also be able to discuss mutations and distringuish between gene and chromosomal.
13. Correctly interpret a pedigree for the dominant/recessive and sex-linkage pedigrees. This includes: Correctly labeling all affected individuals, genotypesand phenotypes, generational numbers, and figuring out which mode of inheritance it is.
