9-11 LS1H Genes are carried on chromosomes. Animal cells contain two copies of each chromosomwith genetic information that regulate bodystructure and functions
9-11 LS1I Egg and sperm cells are formed by a process called meiosis in which each resulting cell contains only one representative chromosome
from each pair found in the original cell.Recombination of genetic information during
meiosis scrambles the genetic information,
allowing for new genetic combinations and
characteristics in the offspring. Fertilizationrestores the original number of chromosome
pairs and reshuffles the genetic information,
allowing for variation among offspring
Practice Punnett Squares
Prepare for test
Describe and model the process of meiosis
in which egg and sperm cells are formedwith only one set of chromosomes from
each parent.Model and explain the process of genetic
recombination that may occur during\meiosis and how this then results indiffering characteristics in offspring.
Describe the process of fertilization thatrestores the original chromosome number
while reshuffling the genetic information,allowing for variation among offspring.
Predict the outcome of specific genetic
crosses involving two characteristics
