Genetic Disorders Assignment:

Go to the University of Utah genetic disorders site
Go to Single Gene Disorders and research Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington’s Disease, and Sickle Cell
For each: describe what it is, the genetic cause, symptoms, treatment, and interesting facts (in notes)
Then Go to Chromosomal Abnormalities and research Down Syndrome and Turner’s Syndrome, recording the same information.
You may do this by yourself or in pairs

Mon 2/1: More notes on Chromosomes. Finish checking off meiosis worksheet. Introduce some genetics terms. Work time to do Karyotype on-line Activity, review 3.2 and 10.1 for the quiz, and then define genetics terms in your notebook (see post below here) and do the data-based questions from pp 173-174. Meiosis quiz on Friday. See below for details.
Wed 2/3: Review for Meiosis quiz. Genetics terminology. Complete the book work, then start Genetics Problems from old Text Book. Do on separate paper and show all of your work!!
Fri 2/5: Meiosis quiz. Check off Genetics Terms and Data-Based Questions in Notebook. Work more on genetics problems 1-20 from the old book. They will be due Thursday 2/11.

What's on the Meiosis Quiz?

Know the phases of meiosis!!
Be able to describe crossing over and independent assortment
Be able to describe how meiosis and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation
Distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes
Be able to interpret a karyogram and explain what happens during nondisjunction
Distinguish between prokaryote and eukaryote chromosomes

Please do these in your Notebook! To be checked off after the quiz on Fri 2/5.
