  2. Heredity or Environment? • Color of hair • Color of eyes • Color of Skin • General health • Personality traits • Strength of eyesight • Physical strength • IQ • Height • Relationship with family • Relationship with friends • Level of education • Sex • Body Type • Weight • Religious involvement • Birth Defects • Blood Type

  3. Study Guide T/F Questions T • 1. _______ The passing on of traits from parent to child is called heredity. Environmental influences are the surroundings that we are placed in. • READ The Scenario: Sammy has brown eyes and is five years old. She attends a neighborhood preschool every day. Her teachers have fallen in love with her witty personality and honey-colored hair. She is very intelligent and does well with the tasks assigned to her. Sammy’s parents are divorced and she misses her father very much. Sammy has juvenile arthritis and must see the doctor often. At her last doctor’s visit, the doctor reminded Sammy’s mom that diabetes has run in her family for several generations and that Sammy should be watched closely for any early symptoms of diabetes. Sammy’s growth chart shows that she will probably be small for her age. List the Heredity Influences in the above scenario: List the Environmental Influences in the above scenario:

  4. T • 2. _______ Genes carry inherited traits that are passed on from generations to generations. Hundreds of thousands of genes, which make up the traits of human beings, are carried on every chromosome.

  5. F • 3. ________Heredity influences such personal aspects as eye color, personality, and food preference.

  6. T • 4. _______ Dominant genes are stronger genes and recessive genes are weaker.

  7. DOMINANT • Brown hair • Other Color hair • Brown eyes • Straight hair line • Free Earlobes • Roll Tongue • Second finger shorter then the 4th • Hitchhiker’s thumb T • 5. _______ In the formation of a new individual where the genes are both recessive and dominant, the dominant will overpower. • RECESSIVE • Blonde hair • Red hair • Blue Eyes • Widows peak • Attached earlobes • Can’t roll tongue • Interlock hands and right thumb on top • No hitchhiker’s thumb

  8. Dominant vs. Recessive widow’s peak Continuous hairline Unattached earlobe Attached earlobe Short fingers Long fingers Freckles Lack of freckles

  9. T 6. _______ It is probable that a dominant brown-eyed mother and a recessive blue-eyed father will have a brown-eyed child. Determine the chances of passing on a genetic trait in the following situation: • The wife is blue-eyed and carries genes for blue eyes on both of the chromosome pairs. The husband is brown eyed and carries a gene for brown eyes on one of the pairs and a gene for blue eyes on he other one of the pairs. Complete the following grid to determine the chances for each of their children to be born with blue or brown eyes. B = dominant brown gene b = recessive blue gene • There is a _____________________ in four chance that the child will have brown eyes and carry a gene for blue eyes. • There is a _____________________ in four chance that the child will have blue eyes and carry genes for only blue eyes. Bb Bb bb bb

  10. T • 7. _______ It is probable that a child can have recessive light colored hair even though both of his parents have dominant dark colored hair. Red Hair and blue –green eyes

  11. Recessive (weaker) genes will not produce the characteristic unless transmitted by both parents.

  12. F XY XX • 8. _______ The female sex cell is the ovum with chromosomes and the male sex cell is the sperm with chromosomes. XY XX

  13. T F • 9. _______ Each sperm cell and ovum cell carries 23 chromosomes and when the ovum is fertilized, the sex cell equals 46 . • 10. _______ 50% of the chromosomes come from the father, but he determines the sex of the child. new eyes Chromosomes. XY Boy or XX Girl?

  14. F Twitterpation Conception • 11. _______ is the union of an ovum and a sperm or the beginning of pregnancy.

  15. MULTIPLE BIRTHS

  16. F • 12. _______ Fraternal non-identical multiple births that come from two different eggs will look . identical like siblings.

  17. F • 13. _______ Identical multiple births that come from one fertilized egg can be different sexes. will be the same sex.

  18. TRIPLETS * Triplets can occur through several combinations. Three separate ovum could be released and fertilized. * Two ovum could be released, fertilized and then one ovum splits into separate embryo, resulting in a set of identical twins and one fraternal twin. * One ovum could split into two parts resulting in identical triplets

  19. F Double jointed twins Conjoined twins 14. _______ are when the ovum splits apart but the separation is not complete.

  20. CONJOINED TWINS Conjoined twins result when a fertilized ovum begins to split into two parts, but does not fully complete the process. The babies are joined at whatever location does not complete the splitting process.
