Characteristic an organism
can pass on to its offspring
through DNA.
Unit 7: Genetics
Lesson 2- Genes and Alleles
Vocabulary:
GENE
Chromosome: tightly wound DNA
Notes:
DNA
Found in all living cells.
Controls all functions inside the cell.
It stores all the genetic information for an entire living organism.

Unit 7: Genetics
True or False.
1. Alleles are the same form of a single cell. False
2. Dominant Alleles determines what the organism will look like.
TRUE
3. DNA is found in all living cells. TRUE
4. Chromosomes are tightly wound DNA. TRUE
5. DNA stores all genetic information for part of a living organism.
FALSE
Lesson 3 Inheritance
Vocabulary:
Unit 7: Genetics
Notes:
Inherited Traits
A sperm cell will join with an egg cell and become fertilized and begin
to develop.
Sex cells have the same number of chromosomes as other body cells
because one sex cell from each of two parents combines from a new
organism.
o Sperm: male sex cell
o Egg: female sex cell
Homozygous vs Heterozygous
Unit 7: Genetics
Lets Practice!
Fill in the blank.
Genotype | Heterozygous| Inheritance |Homozygous | Egg |Phenotype
1. Inheritance is the passing on of traits from parent to offspring.
2. Homozygous means both alleles in a pair of genes are the same.
3. The female sex cell is called an egg.
4. Heterozygous means both alleles from a pair of genes are different.
5. Genotype is the actual gene make up and phenotype is the physical
appearance.

Unit 7: Genetics
Punnett Squares
Reginald Punnett created a tool, which is a grid used to predict the
results of genetic crosses.
This tool is called Punnett Squares
Genotype vs Phenotype
Genotype is the combination of alleles for a trait (BB, Bb, bb)
Phenotype is the visible trait that an offspring exhibits (black or
white fur)
Lets Practice!
Black or Blue? Fill in the Punnet Square.
Unit 7: Genetics
ANSWER: There is a 50% chance the baby chick will be blue and
a 50% chance it will be black.

Lesson 9 and 10 Meiosis
Vocabulary
Unit 7: Genetics
Mitosis- division of the nucleus of a cell forming two daughter cells,
each receiving the same number of chromosomes
Notes:
Meiosis
Meiosis produces daughter cells that each have half the number of
chromosomes the parent has.
A zygote is the first cell of a new individual when egg and sperm come
together and contains a full set of chromosomes.
o 23 from egg + 23 from sperm =46 from egg and sperm
Meiosis vs Mitosis
MITosis take the cell and Makes It Two
o Results in two genetically identical cells
Meiosis has to do with sex cells
o Results in four genetically different cells

Lesson 12 Mutations
Vocabulary
Deletion: one or more bases are REMOVED or left out of the DNA
Unit 7: Genetics
o Large-Scale Mutations are more serious
o Large sections of chromosomes are changed
o Sections of a chromosome may be duplicated
o May result in extra copies of a gene that may amplify the effects
of that gene
o Large sections of a chromosome may be deleted, resulting in the loss
of entire genes

Genetic Engineering
Highly controversial issue today!
For it:
Unit 7: Genetics
o Using less pesticides
o Growing more crops
o Improving nutritional content of food
Against it:
o It is trying to control nature
o We dont know how it could impact us down the road

Fill in the blank with words found below.
1. Gene therapy is a process in which defective genes are replaced with
normal genes.
2. Selective breeding is the process of breeding organisms with the
most desirable traits.
3. Natural Selection is process by which organisms with certain traits
survive to reproduce and pass on those traits to their offspring.
4. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA to produce
molecules or organisms with new properties.
