Name: _________________________________________________ Date: _______________ Period: ________ Biology Notes: Chromosomes Directions: Fill in the blanks as we cover the topic in the PowerPoint. Chromosomes • Defined: Tightly __________________________ DNA • _______________________ when cells ________________________ – Chromosomes __________________________ for the __________________________ cells • 2 Parts: 1) Chromatids: 2 ______________________ parts of a chromosome 2) Centromere: __________________________ chromatids together Karyotype • Defined: ____________________of an individual’s ______________________ – Help identify ________________ & ________________________ defects • Size of __________________ pair identifies ____________________ Additional Information – Same size: XX = __________________________ • – Different size: XY = __________________________ __________________________ human will have ________________ chromosomes _____________ cell Types of chromosomes • _________________________: chromosomes that contain genes for characteristics not directly related to gender. - In Humans these are chromosome pairs ________ ‐ ________ • ___________________________: chromosomes that directly control the development of gender (sexual characteristics). - In Humans these are chromosome pair _________ Down Syndrome: What’s Wrong? • Writing notation: – 1st: ____________________ chromosome # – 2nd: ____________________ chromosomes – 3rd: extra ________________ missing • Down Syndrome notation: ___________, ___________, __________ Turner’s Syndrome • Write the notation: ____________, ____________, ____________ Patau’s Syndrome • Write the notation: : ____________, ____________, ____________ Klinefelter’s Syndrome • Write the notation: : ____________, ____________, ____________ Diploid Cells • We inherit ______________ our chromosomes from _____________ parent – (__________ from mom; __________ from dad) • • Diploid Cells: Cells with ____________________ set of chromosomes – ____________________ chromosomes – Humans: 23 ___________________; 46 ____________________ Somatic (____________________) cells are ____________________ – • Ex: Skin, __________________, Nerve, ________________ Cells Created by ____________________ Haploid Cells • Haploid Cells = Cells with _____________ the ___________________ number of chromosomes • Gametes (________________) are the only ________________ cells – • Ex: ____________________, ____________________, Pollen Created by ____________________ – Chromosome number ____________________ by ___________ • How do humans get 46 chromosomes? 1 Minute: Discuss this RAT KARYOTYPE with your neighbor: 1) Gender? ____________________ Number of chromosomes in a… 2) In a somatic cell? ____________________ 3) In a skin cell? ____________________ 4) In a gamete? ____________________ 5) In a diploid cell? ____________________ 6) In a sperm cell? ____________________ 1 Minute: Discuss this GORILLA KARYOTYPE with your neighbor. Number of chromosomes… 1) In a haploid cell? ____________________ 2) Gamete? ____________________ 3) In a muscle cell? ____________________ 4) In a zygote? ____________________ 5) In an egg cell? ____________________ 6) In a somatic cell? ____________________ Additional Information Review 1) What is the difference between chromatin, chromatids, and chromosomes? _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Name the location where chromatids connect: ________________________________________________ 3) Examine the karyotype: a) What the haploid number? __________ b) Diploid number? ___________ c) Somatic number? ___________ d) Gamete number? __________ 4) What is the difference between autosomes and sex chromosomes? _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5) Circle which of the following cells are created by mitosis?
