GENETICS UNIT TASK CARDS. This is a set of 35 task cards to cover your genetics unit. The cards are completely editable, as task cards are designed to be versatile. I personally use them as stations for review before a test. However, they could be used to reinforce a lesson, as a game, homework, or flashcards. Laminate them and have them ready to go for years to come. Task cards 1-20 include monohybrid cross Punnett squares, Mendel's Laws, dihybrid crosses, and one card focusing on test crosses. Task cards 21-35 include codominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, X-linked inheritance and pedigrees. Answer key is included.

Between each phase there are several "check points" to make sure that nothing happened to the genetic material on the way. The Nobel Prize The 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for discoveries concerning the control of the cell cycle.

Tenth of quirky creature's active genes are foreign: Believed to 'ingest' DNA from other simple organisms. Up to 10 per cent of the active genes of an organism that has survived 80 million years without sex are foreign, a new study from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London reveals.
The asexual organism, the bdelloid rotifer, has acquired a tenth of its active genes from bacteria and other simple organisms like fungi and algae. The findings were reported Nov. 15 in the journal PLoS Genetics. Bdelloid rotifers are best known for going 80 million years without sex, as they have evolved to reproduce successfully without males. Many asexual creatures go extinct without the benefit of traditional genetic evolution. Bdelloids have also developed the fascinating ability to withstand almost complete desiccation when the freshwater pools they typically live in dry up. Because some of the foreign genes are activated when the bdelloids begin to dry out, the researchers believe that the genes play a role in bdelloids' ability to survive desiccation.

In this laboratory experiment students explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
DNA contains the instructions for proper cell function; changes to DNA can cause cancer; skin cancer can be caused by exposure to UV radiation, which comes from the sun; and the meaning of SPF ratings on sunscreens. Class Time: Two 45 minute class times Prep Time: 1-2 hours Does Sunscreen Protect my DNA? Student Version Does Sunscreen Protect my DNA? Teacher Version Teacher pages include material supply contacts and teaching strategies to help students interpret and explore their data. Students follow simple step-by-step instructions to explore DNA damage caused by UV radiation.

Genetics includes the study of heredity, or how traits are passed from parents to offspring. The topics of genetics vary and are constantly changing as we learn more about the genome and how we are influenced by our genes.

Human Genetics Presentation Chromosomes Modeling Chromosomal Inheritance. Uniquely Me. Take a closer look at the people around you. Chances are you’ll recognise that, while you share many features in common with them, there are other features and behaviours they have that are quite different from yours. For example, we all have 2 eyes but they come in many different colours and shapes. Why are we the way we are? Apart from identical twins, each of us has a unique genetic make-up that provides the instructions for our growth and development. However, how you look and act (your phenotype) is actually a result of the interaction between your genetic make-up and your environment.
Some of these interactions happen before we’re even born, during embryonic development. Other influences, including environmental factors such as diet, can shape your appearance and behaviour as you develop from baby to child to adult. In this context, we explore 2 fundamental questions: Why are we the way we are? Meet our scientists Peter Dearden is the director of Genetics Otago. Practicing Punnett Squares. Heredity. What we already know – a tuatara transcriptome | Sequencing - the Tuatara Genome. We are not starting from scratch in our mission to understand the genetics of tuatara.
Scientists have been working on these creatures for more than a hundred years, and in that time plenty of researchers have used tuatara DNA to try to understand the world. For the most part, these studies have used DNA sequences as witnesses to evolutionary history, rather than data from which to understand the day-to-day biology of tuatara. Hilary Miller is one researcher who has taken a genetic approach to understanding how tuatara work. In her postdoctoral research at Victoria University, Hilary sequenced and analysed tuatara MHC genes.
These genes play an important role in the immune system of vertebrates, helping their carriers develop immunity to diseases they encounter during their lives. Up until last year, there were a few hundred tuatara DNA sequences known to science. The sequences you published make up what’s called “transcriptome” – what does that mean? Punnett Squares.
