| Eat your vegetables, before they eat you! This week we will be learning about genetics. Earlier we learned about traits and characteristics and how they affect the appearance of an organism. This week we will be focusing on inherited traits, genes and alleles. We will also be setting up an experiment that shows how these inherited traits are passed from parent to offspring in plants! KEY WORDS Inherited Traits- An inherited trait is a characteristic passed from parents to the offspring or child through genes. Genes- The basic unit of heredity. Different forms of genes are called alleles. Alleles- Alternative form of a gene inherited separately from each parent. (for eye color the allele might result in blue or brown eyes). KEY CONCEPT: All organisms have genes and inherited traits. You have 3 tasks to accomplish for this week's BLOG. A. Read the article (use the link) and answer the following questions in complete thoughts. 1. What are inherited traits? 2. How many pairs of chromosomes are found in a human cell? How many genes? 3. How do you know if you have a recessive trait? B. Watch the video (use the link) and answer the following questions in complete thoughts. 1. What is the structure & function of chromosomes? 2. What is the difference between a body cell and a sex cell? 3. How do people get Down's Syndrome? C. Watch the video (use the link) and answer the following questions in complete thoughts. 1. Genes are part of what? 2. Explain how genes are like family recipes? 2. How many chromosomes do the following organisms have:

A. Read the article (use the link) and answer the following questions in complete thoughts.
1.What are inherited traits?
Inherited traits are things that you inherit or have been passed on from your parents.
2.How many pairs of chromosomes are found in a human cell? How many genes?
There are 23 chromosomes pairs and 35,000 genes.
3.How do you know if you have a recessive trait?

1. Inherited traits are traits that you inherit from your parents or grandparents.
2. Hundreds or thousands of genes may exist on one chromosome. A human cell contains just 23 pairs of chromosomes but may contain up to 35,000 genes.
3. Recessive traits only present when both alleles are recessive.
1. This is a long strand of DNA, the structure is twisted and forms an “x”. The function is to determine traits that you get from parents
2. A body cell has 46 chromosomes, and a sex cell has 23.
3. When there are too many chromosomes, the child gets down’s syndrome.

2. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in a human cell and there are 35,000 genes.
3. To know if you have a recessive trait there are variations known as alleles.
B
1. The structure of chromosomes is a long strand of DNA and its function is to create traits.
2. The difference in chromosomes and sex cells is that sex cells have half of the other chromosomes.
3. People get Down Syndrome from having an extra chromosomes.
C
1. Genes are a part of the nucleus.
2. It means that you inherited different genes from your parents and grandpartners.
3.
humans – 23 pairs of chromosomes
horses – 4 ?
chimpanzees – 24 pairs of chromosomes
monkey's – 21 pairs of chromosomes
cows – 30 pairs of chromosomes
chickens – 39 pairs of chromosomes
bananas- 11 pairs of chromosomes
Katelyn Evans & Kelsey Rankin
A 1. Inherited traits are characteristics that are passed from the parents/grandparents or learned from the environment.
2. 23 pairs of chromosomes in a cell and 35,000 in genes.
3. This trait only presents when both alleles are recessive.
B1 Function of a chromosomes is determined hair color eye color, and the structure of a chromosomes is one attached to another (one from your mom and one from your dad) to make like an “X” and each line on the “X” is curled.
2. The difference in a body cell and a sex cell is in a sex cell there are only half of the amount of chromosomes.
3. What creates Down's syndrome is if someone is short a chromosome.
C1. Genes are a small part of DNA.
2. Genes are like a family recipe because genes are like a recipe for proteins then the proteins are passed from generations to generations.
3. humans have 46 Chromosomes.
horses have 32 pairs of Chromosomes
chimpanzees have 24 pairs of Chromosomes
monkey's have 21 pairs of Chromosomes
cows have 30 pairs of Chromosomes
chickens have 39 pairs of Chromosomes
bananas have 11 pairs of Chromosomes
*SNP’s are Left out, added, or substituted cells.*
A1: an inherited trait is something you recieve from a family member such as hair color, eye color, ect.
A2: 46
A3: the way you know you have a recesive trait is by seeing if you share in a comparison with one of your parents.
B1:the structure of the chromosomes are in the shape of an x and determine skin color, hair color ect.
B2:Body cell has twice the amount of chromosomes as a sex cell and a sex cell only has half the amount of chromosomes as a body cell.
B3: people get Down's Syndrome by having an extra chromosome
C1:DNA
C2:they pass down from generation to generation
C3:humans-46,horses-12,chimpanzees-48,monkeys-42,cows-60,chickens-78, bananas-22
A.1) inherited traits are charalistics passed between humans in their geneses.
A.2) we carry just 23 pairs of chromosomes but may contain up to 35,000 genes.
A.3) you have recessive traits because your mom and dad geneses give it to you
B.1) Chromosomes is a very long stapes of DNA. It compounds with the male and female chromosomes and that will go into you.
B.2) in a body cell there 46 cells and in a sex cell there is 23.
B.3) when a chromosomes are combindedwith an extra chromosomes.
C.1) Geneses are a part of every cell in your body and it is in the nuclease.
C.2) well like when your parents have sexual intercourse’s they mix their geneses and give it to you. They are also passed down every generation.
C.3) Humans- 23 pairs
Horses- n/a
Chimpanzees- 24 pairs
Monkey’s- 21 pairs
Cows- 30 pairs
Chickens- 39 pairs
Bananas- 11 pairs

a1. Inherited traits are something you are born with and inherit from someone you are related to.For example eye color or skin tone Also you cannot change it, and you cannot learn it you are born with it.
a2. 23 pairs of chromosomes are found in a human cell. There are 35,000 genes.
a3. You know if you have a recessive trait by, when both alleles are recessive.
b1)It is a long strand of DNA. It’s function is to carry genetic material.
b2) A body cell has 46 chromosomes and a sex cell does not.
b3) People get down syndrome by have an extra chromosome.
c1. Genes are a part of short strands of DNA.
c2. Genes are like family recipes by being passed down from people to parents and from generation to generation and so on.
c3.

*If you have time watch genetics 101, part 2 and tell me what SNP's are?
A
1) Inherited traits are something that you receive from your parents or other family members.
2) 23 pairs of chromosomes 35,000 genes
3) If you have a trait in your family that is passed down from generation to generation.
B
1) The structure of a chromosome is a x shaped figure and their function is to control how different things happen in and on your body.
2) A sex cell has 23 chromosomes and a body cell has 46 chromosomes
3) having 1 extra chromosome.
C
1) Genes are part of cells. 99.9% of a nucleus is made up of genes, and in mitochondria.
2) Genes are like a family recipe because it is made up of DNA that is never the same, and is made up and passed down to children.
3) Humans: 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23)
Chimpanzees: 48 chromosomes (2 sets of 24)
Monkeys: 42 chromosomes (2 sets of 21)
Cows: 60 chromosomes (2 sets of 30)
Chickens: 78 (2 sets of 39)
Bananas: 22 (2 sets of 11)
Horses: 64 (32 pairs)
SNP’s (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) are variations at a single base pair

B.
1. A chromosome is a strand of DNA that curls up and attaches itself to another chromosome.
2. A body cell has 46 chomosomes and a sex cell has 23 chromosomes.

C.
1. Genes are a part of DNA.
2. Genes get passed down from grandparents to parents, and from parents to children.
