Unit 4: Objectives

4.1 Define trait, and explain where an organism gets its traits
4.2 Explain what makes up a gene and what genes code for
4.3 Define the following: chromosome, chromatid, chromatid. 
4.4 Summarize the Law of Segregation and how it supports what Mendel saw in his F1 crosses.
4.5 What is Mendel’s Principle of Dominance? Compare Dominant alleles to Recessive alleles. How are they represented? Which              can skip generations?
4.6 Use the terms homo- and heterozygous to correctly describe the alleles present in an organism.
4.7 Be able to convert a genotype into its phenotype, as well as genotypic ratios to phenotypic ratios.
4.8 Use Punnett squares to calculate the probability a particular genotype will occur in an offspring if you know the genotypes of
      the parents.
4.9  Convert genotypic/phenotypic ratios into percentages to determine probability.
4.10 Explain the Principle of Independent Assortment, and perform a dihybrid cross to support it. 
4.11 Describe some of the exceptions to Mendel’s principles (incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, polygenic
        traits, non-mendelian inheritance
4.12 Explain the environments role in the way genes determine traits
4.13 Describe homologous chromosomes and differentiate them from sister chromatids.
4.14 Use terms: Haploid, Diploid, Somatic and Gamete to describe different cells in the body depending on their # of homologous
​        chromosomes.
4.15 Describe the events that occur during each phase of meiosis
4.16 Identify the differences between meiosis and mitosis
4.16 Define gene linkage and gene mapping. Explain how they work.
