In The Beginning…
Human beings have 23 pairs of chromosomes (one from mommy, one from daddy).
Each chromosome is made up of coiled DNA.
A specific area of chromosome that codes for one trait is called a gene.
Chromosomes genes DNA
DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides in a double helix. Nucleotide: backbone
(sugar and phosphate) plus a base.
Genetic information is stored in the nitrogenous bases. A T G C
Controls a Trait? How?
Different alleles (versions) of genes code for different traits.
We can predict what traits children will have if we know their parents’ alleles.
A heterozygous free earlobe parent mates with a heterozygous free earlobe parent.
How? Where?
OK, so genes code for traits—but how do we get from a gene to a trait? Proteins! Proteins are the stuff that
actually causes our hair to be blonde, eyes to be brown, skin to be dark, etc.
Problem Chromosomes (genes) are in the
nucleus. Proteins are made in the ribosome.
OH NOES!!!

TRANSCRIPTION: Information in DNA is
copied into mRNA mRNA is formed by
complementary base pairs A U, T A G C, C G
CGATTA
GCUAAU
TRANSLATION: Information in mRNA is
read one codon (three nucleotides) at a time.
tRNA brings the correct amino acid, based on the codon sequence.
Many amino acids = protein.
GCU = AlanineAAU = Asparagine

Quiz-Quiz-Trade
Find a partner. Quiz them with your question on your notecard. If they can’t get it right, coach them (coaching is not telling them the answer!)
Then your partner quizzes you. Once you have each successfully
answered your question, trade your notecards. Then raise your hand.
High-five someone with a raised hand. BAM! You’re now partners.
Punnett Square Practice
In lions, the allele for yellow eyes is dominant to the gene for brown eyes.
Show a cross between a lion who is heterozygous and one who is homozygous recessive. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios?
Punnett Square Practice (whiteboard) In lions, the allele for yellow eyes is
dominant to the gene for brown eyes.
Show a cross between a lion who is heterozygous and one who is homozygous recessive. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios?
Punnett Square Practice (whiteboard) In lions, the allele for yellow eyes is
dominant to the gene for brown eyes.
Nala has yellow eyes and Simba has brown eyes. Nala is heterozygous. What are the chances that they will have children who are homozygous dominant? Who have brown eyes?
Punnnett Square Practice (Whiteboard) In lions, the allele for yellow eyes is
dominant to the gene for brown eyes.
Simba got his beautiful brown eyes from his parents Mufasa and Sarabi. However, both his parents had yellow eyes. Show that this is possible since both his parents are heterozygous. What were the chances that this was going to happen?
