Chapter 5 Genetics: The Science of Heredity Section 1: Mendel’s Work
Section 1 - Objectives: u To describe Mendel’s genetics experiments u To identify the factors that control the inheritance of traits in organisms u To explain how geneticists use symbols to represent alleles.
Vocab u 1. trait A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes.
u 2. heredity The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
u 3. genetics The scientific study of heredity.
u 4. purebred An organism that always produces offspring with the same form of a trait as the parent.
u 5. gene A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait.
u 6. alleles The different forms of a gene.
u 7. dominant allele An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present.
u 8. recessive allele An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
u 9. hybrid An organism that has two different alleles for a trait; an organism that is heterozygous for a particular trait.
Notes u 1. Gregor Mendel ____________ is called the “father of genetics”
u 2. Mendel used peas because: have many traits that exist in only 2 forms – A. They _____________ Garden peas produce large numbers of – B. _____________ offspring in one generation so it is easy to collect large amounts of data to analyze
u 3. Traits are controlled by inheritance _________ of genes _______
one Organisms inherit ______ allele each from _____ parent. u 4.
u 5. Some alleles are __________and others are dominant recessive _____________.
Chapter 5 Genetics: The Science of Heredity Section 2: Probability & Genetics
Section 2 -Objectives: u To describe the principles of probability and how Mendel applied them to inheritance u To state how geneticists use Punnett squares u To explain the meaning of the terms phenotype, genotype, homozygous, heterozygous, and codominance.
Vocab u 10. probability The likelihood that a particular event will occur.
u 11. Punnett square A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
u 12. phenotype An organism’s physical appearance, or visible traits.
u 13. genotype An organism’s genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
u 14. homozygous Having two identical alleles for a trait.
u 15. heterozygous Having two different alleles for a trait.
u 16. codominance A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive.
Notes u 1. Probability is the likelihood __________ that a particular event __________ will occur.
u 2. Mendel ___________ was the first scientist to recognize that the principles ____________ of probability ____________ can be used to predict the result of genetic crosses.
u 3. Geneticists use Punnett squares to: – A. Show all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross – B. Determine the probability of a particular outcome
u 4. Phenotype _____________ is the physical appearance, while genotype ____________ is the Genetic makeup ____________ make-up.
5. Punnett Square practice: u B-Blue u b-red B u u Genotype: u Phenotype: 1 BB: 2 Bb: 1 bb 3 Blue, 1 red b BB Bb Bb bb
u 5. Punnett Square practice: G- Green u g-Yellow u u Genotype: u Phenotype: – 2 Gg: 2 gg – 2 Green: 2 Yellow g g Gg gg

Chapter 5 Genetics: The Science of Heredity Section 3: The Cell and Inheritance
Section 3: The Cell and Inheritance u To describe the role of chromosomes in inheritance u To identify and describe the events that occur during meiosis
u 17. meiosis The process that occurs in sex cells (sperm and egg) by which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.
Notes u 1. Sex cells have exactly half ______ the number of other chromosomes as ______ cells.
u 2. The chromosome theory of inheritance states: Genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes u http: //www. pearsonsuccessnet. com/snpapp/i. Text/products/0 -13 -036738 -9/ch 3/video. Blank. html? /ebook/products/0 -13 -036738 -9/video/vtchromo. mov
u 3. u u During meiosis, the chromosome: The chromosome pairs separate and are distributed to two different cells. The resulting sex cells have only have half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism. http: //www. pearsonsuccessnet. com/snpapp/i. Text/products/0 -13036738 -9/ch 3/video.

u 4. Genes __________ are located on chromosomes.
u 5. 23 Our bodies have ____ pairs of chromosomes that contain over 60, 000 _____ genes.
Chapter 3 Genetics: The Science of Heredity Section 4: The DNA Connection
Section 4: The DNA Connection Objectives: u To explain the term “genetic code”: u To describe the process by which a cell produces proteins u To describe different types of mutations and how they affect an organism.
u 17. messenger RNA that copies the coded message from DNA in the nucleus and carries the message into the cytoplasm.
u 18. transfer RNA in the cytoplasm that carries an amino acid to the ribosome and adds it to the growing protein chain.
Notes u 1. The main function of genes is to: Control the production of proteins in the organism’s cells. Proteins help to determine the size, shape, and many other traits in an organism.
order The _____ of nitrogen ________ bases along a gene _______ forms a genetic code that specifies what type of protein ______ will be produced. u 2. u u http: //www. pearsonsuccessnet. com/snpapp/i.
