Agenda #7: Level
2 Biology D block Mrs. Wissler/Mr. Germain 3-6-17
to 3-14-17
MEIOSIS UNIT
Academic Goal:
MCAS 2.7 Describe how the process of meiosis results
in the formation of haploid cells.
Explain the importance of this process in sexual reproduction and how
gametes form diploid zygotes in the process of fertilization.
Learning Objectives:
Student should be able to:
1. Describe
the relationship between DNA, gene, and chromosome.
2. Compare and contrast the number and type of
chromosomes in body cells and in gametes.
3. Describe the process of meiosis and
understand how it results in the formation of haploid cells.
- Contrast meiosis and mitosis in terms of purpose and outcome.
- Explain the concept of homologous chromosomes and how they are related
to meiosis.
- List three ways that meiosis increases genetic diversity.
Essential Question: How does the
basic mechanism of genetics play a role in mutations and diversity of
organisms?
Central
Concepts: Genes allow for the storage and transmission of
genetic information. They are a set of instructions encoded in the nucleotide
sequence of each organism. Genes code for the specific sequences of amino acids
that comprise the proteins characteristic to that organism.
