Course Name: BIOLOGY
HARDMAN, JOHNSTON, LIPTHRATT, WYNN, HAMILTON


Monday
Standard(s):
SB2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze how genetic information is expressed in cells.
b. Construct an argument based on evidence to support the claim that inheritable genetic variations may result from: new genetic combinations through meiosis (crossing over, nondisjunction); non-lethal errors occurring during replication (insertions, deletions, substitutions); and/or heritable mutations caused by environmental factors (radiation, chemicals, and viruses).
LT:
We are learning about mutations that occur during DNA replication that cause inheritable genetic variations.

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Predict how the mutations may alter the final version of the protein being made
Model meiosis and recognize new resulting genetic combinations
Research and describe evidence where meiosis cause genetic variations
Recognize non-lethal errors occurring during replication (silent, missense, nonsense)
Research and describe evidence where insertion, deletion and substitution caused genetic variations.

Lesson/Activity:
*quick review and check in on protein synthesis

Friday
Standard(s):
SB1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and functions in living cells.
b. Develop and use models to explain the role of cellular reproduction (including binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis) in maintaining genetic continuity.
LT:
We are learning to explain how cell reproduction maintains genetic continuity.

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Draw and label the parts of a chromosome
Explain why cells divide instead of getting bigger
Create a model describe each phase of the cell cycle and how the process maintains genetic continuity
Describe the process of mitosis and what types of cells mitosis produces.
