  2. Essential Questions • How are traits passed from one generation to the next? • How do eukaryotic cells store, retrieve, and transmit genetic information? • How does genotype affect phenotype? • How are genotype and human disorder related? • How does gene expression control the cell and determine its metabolism? • What are the current trends in genetic engineering techniques that guide manipulation of genetic material? • What social and ethical issues are raised by advances in genetic engineering?

  3. Supplemental Reading • Over this unit, we will be reading “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot • I have asked teachers if they have copies of this book, but you can download it for Kindle and it is only about $10 • We will also watch the movie “Gataca”, so if you have a copy of it, please let me know.

  12. Learning Objectives • Define cancer and differentiate between benign and malignant tumors. • Explain that cancers result from mutations in genes that control the cell cycle. • Understand how cancerous cells move around the body. • Know the difference between tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, and understand how these • genes contribute to cancer formation.

  14. Closing Activity • Quiz! • What are three important things that you learned from this case study? • How is this case study applicable to your life? What things can you do to decrease the risk of something like this happening to you? • Time: 10 minutes

  15. Day 3 • Required Readings: • Lab #7: Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis • Bozeman Videos: • Mitosis and Meiosis Lab

  16. Learning Objectives • Make predictions about natural phenomena occurring during the cell cycle • Describe the events that occur in the cell cycle • Construct an explanation as to how DNA in chromosomes is transmitted to the next generation via mitosis, or meiosis followed by fertilization • Represent the connection between meiosis and increased genetic diversity necessary for evolution • Evaluate evidence provided by data sets to support the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another generation through mitosis, or meiosis followed by fertilization • Connect the process of meiosis to the passage of traits from parent to offspring

  17. Pre-lab Questions • What is the purpose of cell division? • What are the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis? • How does meiosis increase the genetic diversity in a population? • How many cells are in your body? How were those cells produced from a single cell (zygote)? • What are some advantages of asexual reproduction in plants? • What is the importance of DNA replication prior to cell division? • How is the cell cycle controlled? What would happen if the control were defective?

  18. Activity 1: Mitosis • How does the genetic information in a cell from your toe compare to the genetic information in a cell from your arm? • What other purposes besides growth would require cell division? How do cells divide? • Use the clay provided to demonstrate the different stages in mitosis and what is happening in each stage

  19. Mitosis in Onion Root Tips • We will use the following website to conduct our investigation on mitosis: • http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/activities/cell_cycle/cell_cycle.html • Complete Table 1 for the onion cells you observe and collect the other groups’ data (put those in “Tip 2” and “Tip 3”) • Complete steps 1-4 and 1-2 on S89

  20. Review Questions • What was the importance of collecting the class data? • Was there a significant difference between the groups? • Does an increased number of cells in mitosis mean that these cells are dividing faster than the cells in the roots with a lower number of cells in mitosis? • How else could you determine the rate of mitosis in root tips?

  21. Activity 2: Loss of Cell Cycle Control • Pre-lab Questions: • How are normal cells and cancer cells different from each other • What are the main causes of cancer? • How can we explain the fact that there are so many different cancers, even in the same types of cells or tissues? • How is the cell cycle controlled in normal cells? • What goes wrong during the cell cycle in cancer cells? • What makes some genes related to increased cancer risk? • Do you think that the chromosomes might be different between normal and cancer cells?

  22. Activity 2 (Cont’d) • Look up pictures of cancer cells vs. normal cells. Include these in your report • Compare the chromosomes from a normal individual and a HeLa cell • Discuss their appearance • Did the results match your hypothesis (last question from previous slide)? • What information do you need to validate your conclusion? • In normal cells, mitosis is blocked if there is DNA damage • What would happen if cells with mutated DNA replicated? • How does p53 play a role in the cell cycle? What happens if it is damaged?

  23. Activity 3: Meiosis • Pre-lab questions: • How is meiosis important to a sexually reproducing organism? • What would happen if eggs and sperm were produced by mitosis instead of meiosis? • How can crossing over between homologous chromosomes be detected? • How do meiosis and fertilization affect genetic diversity and evolution? • How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid cells? • How does the process increase gamete diversity? • What are the outcomes from independent assortment and crossing over? • How does the distance between two genes or a gen and a centromere affect crossing over frequencies?

  24. Activity 3 (Cont’d) • Sordaria fimicola is a fungus • You will measure crossover frequencies and genetic outcomes from Sordaria cards and examine asci (formation of eight haploid ascospores contained within a sac called an ascus (plural, asci)) produced by crossing wild type (black) with tan parents • Each ascus contains 8 spores • Parent type has four tan and four black spores in a row (4:4) • Recombinant asci will not have this pattern (2:2:2:2, 2:4:2)

  25. Activity 3 (cont’d) • Take a card and complete table 3 on page S95

  26. Write Up • CERR Model • Claim – Discuss what mitosis and meiosis are, what results from them, when they are used and what controls them • Evidence – 2 tables plus chi-square calculations • Reasoning – Discuss why you saw what you saw. There are some great leading questions in the student lab manual given to you, as well as the pre-lab questions that you can refer back to • Rebuttal – Why do meiosis and mitosis not occur in a different way? Why does a cell not have zero checkpoints? Why do sexually reproducing organisms not all look exactly alike? Etc.
