Vermont State Standards Addressed: S7-8:31

a. Every body cell in an organism contains the identical genome (DNA) which is maintained from one cell generation to the next by mitosis and DNA replication. b. Transmission of genetic information to offspring occurs through egg and sperm cells that contain only one representative from each chromosome pair. c. The genetic information in a cells DNA is used to direct the synthesis of the thousands of proteins that each cell requires, however only portions of the genome are active in any one cell. d. Genetic variation in organisms arises from gamete formation and sexual reproduction.

S9-12:40
Science Concept: (Human Heredity) a. Instructions for specified characteristics of an organism are carried in DNA. (NSES) The information passed from parents to offspring is coded in DNA molecules. DNA molecules are long chains linking just four kinds of smaller molecules, whose sequence encodes genetic information. b. The human body is formed from cells that contain homologous parts two copies of each chromosome. c. New heritable characteristics can result from new combinations of existing genes or from mutations of genes in reproductive cells. d. All body cells have identical genetic information, but its expression may be very different from one cell to another due to the instructions given to different types of cells. The sorting and recombination of genes in sexual reproduction results in a great variety of possible gene combinations (Include value of meiosis, but not phases). Some new gene combinations make little difference, some can produce organisms with new and perhaps enhanced capabilities and some can be deleterious. Gene mutations can be caused by radiation and chemicals (legal and illegal) and are passed on to offspring when they occur in sex cells. Inserting, deleting or substituting DNA segments can alter genes. Changes in DNA (mutations) occur spontaneously at low rates, but can affect the organism in many ways or may go unnoticed. e. Gene mutations in a cell can result in uncontrolled division called cancer. Exposure of cells to certain chemicals and radiation increases mutations and thus chances of cancer

S9-12:41
b. Human behavior is determined by the state of our internal biochemical environment, our heredity and our life experiences (e.g., innate/learned behaviors).

Berthelsen, B. (1999). Students Nave Conceptions in Life Science. MSTA Journal, 44(1) (Spring99), pp. 13-19. http://www.msta-mich.org (start class w/ conception vs. misconceptionDo Now)

Daughters inherit most of their characteristics from their mothers. Boys inheritmost of their characteristics from their fathers. Variation between species is a result of adaptation to environment instead of inheritance Sexual reproduction occurs in animals but not in plants. Students do not distinguish between sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction produces weak offspring. Sexual reproduction produces superior offspring. Students believe that transmitted characteristics are acquired during the life time of the animal. Individuals can adapt to a changing environment. These adaptations are heritable. Students do not understand the relationship between DNA, genes, and chromosomes Students can apply chance and probability to assigned genetics problems, but not to human situations in families.

Youre the Expert Challenge Board (Current Articless)

YOURE THE EXPERT: Challenge: Find a current science article (last 5 years) that discusses either the human genome or epigenetics. Choose one of the following ways to share what you find with the class. (This may be done in pairs). Make sure your finished product is polished and well-rehearsed

The Poet Write a poem in which you summarize the main points of your article, and possible societal implications of the findings.

The Player Write and perform a short skit summarizing the main points of your article.

The Presenter Create a presentation in which you are the expert and you present your findings with the class. (use visuals)

The Essayist Write a short reaction essay in which you summarize and react to your article.

Post It Create a poster that accurately, creatively, and clearly visually represents your article.

Draw It Create a clear illustration of the main points of the article (one frame or many)

Rhyme It Create a rap you will perform for the class that covers the basics of your article
