Introduction to Cell Structure and Genetics

This page provides an overview of key cell structures involved in genetics and introduces important genetic terminology.

The page begins with a review of animal cell structure, asking students to label and explain the functions of organelles like the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, chromosomes, mitochondria and ribosomes. It then introduces essential genetic terms that will be covered in the unit, including gamete, allele, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, genotype and phenotype.

Vocabulary: Gamete - A reproductive cell containing half the normal number of chromosomes

Highlight: The nucleus contains DNA organized into chromosomes, which control cell activities and code for proteins

Example: Ribosomes in the cytoplasm use the DNA code to make proteins that form cell structures and carry out functions

C/W Spec points: B5.1a B5.1b B5: Introduction to Genetics 1 + 2 explain the following terms: gamete, chromosome, gene, allele/variant, domin

Cell Structure and Function

This page provides a detailed diagram and explanation of key cellular structures involved in genetics and protein synthesis.

The labeled diagram shows the main organelles of an animal cell, including the nucleus, ribosomes, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Descriptions explain the function of each structure in relation to genetics and cellular activities. For example, it notes that the nucleus contains DNA organized into chromosomes, which control cell activities. The ribosomes use the DNA code to synthesize proteins in the cytoplasm. The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell.

Definition: Cytoplasm - The gel-like substance inside cells where organelles are suspended and many cellular activities occur

Highlight: Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration, releasing energy for cellular work through the breakdown of glucose

Example: The equation for cellular respiration that occurs in mitochondria is: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

View

Organization of Genetic Material

This page provides a visual representation of how genetic material is organized within a cell.

Students are asked to sketch a diagram showing the hierarchy of genetic organization, from the cell level down to individual genes. The diagram illustrates how DNA is packaged into chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell. It emphasizes that genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes.

Vocabulary: Gene - A section of DNA that codes for a specific protein or trait

Highlight: The organization of genetic material goes from largest to smallest: Cell → Nucleus → Chromosome → DNA → Gene

C/W Spec points: B5.1a B5.1b B5: Introduction to Genetics 1 + 2 explain the following terms: gamete, chromosome, gene, allele/variant, domin

View

Genes and Alleles

This page introduces the concepts of genes and alleles, explaining their relationship to chromosomes.

It explains that chromosomes contain different genes, which can exist as different alleles. The page defines alleles as different forms of the same gene, which create variation in traits. It emphasizes that while individuals have two copies of each chromosome and gene, these copies may be different alleles.

Vocabulary: Allele - A variant form of a gene

Highlight: Different alleles of the same gene can lead to variations in traits, such as eye color

Example: Blue eyes and brown eyes are caused by different alleles of the same gene

C/W Spec points: B5.1a B5.1b B5: Introduction to Genetics 1 + 2 explain the following terms: gamete, chromosome, gene, allele/variant, domin

Homologous Chromosomes

This page introduces the concept of homologous chromosomes and their origins.

It explains that homologous chromosomes are matching pairs of chromosomes based on their size and shape. The page includes a diagram showing how one chromosome in each homologous pair comes from the female parent and one from the male parent. It emphasizes that this pairing is the basis for inheritance of genetic traits from both parents.

Vocabulary: Homologous chromosomes - Matching pairs of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, that carry genes for the same traits

Highlight: Homologous chromosomes contain genes for the same traits but may carry different versions (alleles) of those genes
