Dec. 9	9-11 LS1H Genes are carried on chromosomes. Animal cells contain two copies of each chromosome with 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. Fertilization restores the original number of chromosome pairs and reshuffles the genetic information, allowing for variation among offspring	Dihybrid Cross: notes and worksheet	Genetic Poster: Due Dec.17 Personal Responsibility: Look up information about blood types and immune system or world wide distribution of blood types	Describe and model the process of meiosis in which egg and sperm cells are formed with 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 in differing characteristics in offspring. Describe the process of fertilization that restores the original chromosome number while reshuffling the genetic information, allowing for variation among offspring. Predict the outcome of specific genetic crosses involving two characteristics

13	9-12 APPE Perfect solutions do not exist. All technological solutions involve trade-offs in which decisions to include more of one quality means less of another. All solutions involve consequences, some intended, others not.	DVD - DNA - Pandoras Box - Make a T table to record benefits and risks of DNA manipulation	Homework: Write a paragraph that describes unintended consequences of DNA manipulation.	Analyze a societal issue that may be addressed through science and/or technology. Compare alternative solutions by considering trade-offs and unintended consequences
