Tuesday
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 about the advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction.
We are learning about the advantages and disadvantages of asexual reproduction.

SC: (I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Use evidence to describe the advantages of sexual reproduction.
Describe what genetic variation is
Use evidence to describe the disadvantages of sexual reproduction
Use evidence to describe the advantages of asexual reproduction.
Use evidence to describe the disadvantages of asexual reproduction

Wednesday
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:I am learning how cellular reproduction/division maintains genetic continuity

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Describe inheritance
Describe what genetic continuity is
IN Asexual: cell division ensures new cells that are produced have the same number and type of chromosomes (genes)
IN Sexual: produces cells with half the number of chromosomes in gametes that will eventually join during fertilization resulting in offspring that have the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent organism.
Explain how binary fission or mitosis maintains genetic continuity
Explain how meiosis maintains genetic continuity
Compare and contrast the phases of meiosis and mitosis
Use models to explain the role of cellular reproduction in maintaining genetic continuity

Lesson/Activity:
Review sexual/asexual reproduction
Build-a-bird - The Pigeon Gene Shuffle

Thursday
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 the causes of inheritable genetic variations

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Explain how crossing over during Meiosis I is a source of genetic variation
Explain how independent assortment during Meiosis I is a source of genetic variation
Explain how a nondisjunction mutation during meiosis is a source of genetic variation and give one example
Examine Down Syndrome as an example of chromosome mutation (affects whole chromosome)
Analyze a karyotype to look at the size, shape and number of chromosomes
Describe homologous pairs of chromosomes and this is where genes are housed (through the expression of a genotype/2 alleles

Lesson/Activity:
Natural vs Artificial Selection video/notes
Pigeon breeding video
Learn Genetics PIGEONETICS game

Friday
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 the causes of inheritable genetic variations

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Investigate various causes of non-lethal errors through point mutations (insertion, deletion, substitution)
Investigate various heritable mutations caused by environmental factors (radiation, chemicals and viruses)
Describe a mutagen (agents that harm DNA)
Recognize what types of mutations are inheritable and why (only in gametes)
Examine sickle cell anemia as an example of gene mutations (mutations that affect a single gene) and discuss its advantages and disadvantages.


Lesson/Activity:
