Big Idea 3 Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes.
Genetic Information Storage • Organisms store information in the form of DNA or RNA
Prokaryotes have a single, circular chromosome of DNA • Some can also contain plasmids which store extra genetic information
Avery-Griffith DNA experiments Watson-Crick
mRNA processing – splicing out introns, adding 5’ cap and 3’ poly A tail
Cell Cycle Regulation-Protein Kinases – phosphorylate molecules to activate or inactivate them Ex. Cdc2-Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK’s) – have to be bound to a cyclin to be activated Ex. Maturation-promoting factor (MPF)-Cyclins – concentrations fluctuate (rise and fall) in a cell
Cell Cycle regulation – G1 checkpoint • Growth factors – external molecules that cause cells to divide • Signal transduction pathway • Density-dependent inhibition – cells stop dividing when other cells surround them • Anchorage dependence – cells need to be attached to something to divide
The Cell Cycle DNA Copied Cells prepare for Division Cells Mature Daughter Cells Cell Divides into Identical cells
Homologous chromosomes made up of sister chromatids joined at thecentromere.
Haploid– 1 copy of each chromosomeDiploid– 2 copies of each chromosome (known as homologous chromosomes)
Replicated homologous chromosomes Unreplicated homologous chromosomes Centromere

Know • Tetrad • Synapsis • Chiasmata • Crossing Over
Sources of Genetic Variation • Crossing Over • Independent Assortment - 2 to the 23rd power = 8.4 million different possibilities • Random fertilization – 8.4 million different egg and sperm creates 70 trillion different types of offspring (not including crossing over)

Sex-linked Inheritance • Color Blindness – recessive, linked to the X chromosome • Cannot distinguish between colors like red and green • Genotypes: • XCXC – normal female, non carrier • XCXc’ – normal female, carrier (may pass recessive allele on to sons and/or daughters) • Xc’Xc’ – colorblind female (will pass recessive allele to all children • XCY – normal male • Xc’Y – colorblind male (will pass recessive allele to daughters only)
