Week 4: Mitosis & Meiosis

99% of our cells undergo Mitosis....cell division to replace and grow cells identical cells (diploid cells)

1% of our cells undergo Meiosis....cell division to create sex cells (haploid cells)

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells.

Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells.

To understand these two processes, undertake the nearpod presentation....firstly, download nearpod onto your device or open www.nearpod.com

Task: Create a Venn Diagram of Mitosis and Meiosis


Using the prompts below and the assessment rubric above, create a Venn Diagram to show your understanding of the two cell division processes of Mitosis and Meiosis.

Emerging makes  4 cells makes 2 cells creates sex cells creates identical cells cells divide

Developing daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes begins with a parent cell

Core produces daughter cells (identical/different) to parent cell (2/4) daughter cells happens in (germ/somatic) cells chromosome number (halves/remains the same) (1/ 2) times through nuclear division

Week 5: Inherited characteristics

Inherited characteristics

Emerging	Foundation	Core	Beyond Core	Accomplished
Can show their traits to be dominant or recessive	Can predict the possible offspring characteristics from given parent dominant or recessive characteristics.	Can present the patterns of inheritance of a simple dominant/recessive characteristic through generations.	Demonstrates an understanding of sex-linked genes, co-dominant genes and autosomal recessive genetic disorders	Explain the pattern of inheritance of a specific genetic disease

DO the BOLD items below & use the following Task sheet.

All humans have inherited their characteristics from their parents. 

All characteristics are either dominant or recessive.
