TABLE OF CONTENTS - Lindbergh School District

Concept B: Embryological Development
Identify factors (biochemical, temperature) that may affect the
differentiation of cells and the development of an organism.
Concept A: Cell Division
Name the three functions of mitosis (growth, repair,
maintenance). Identify that the resulting cells are genetically
identical to the starting cell.
Concept B: Cell Division
Outline the parts of the cell cycle with elaboration on the
process of mitosis (phases—interphase, prophase, metaphase,
anaphase, telophase; chromatid, centromere, spindle, cell
plate).
Concept C: Cell Division
Explain why meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction and
how fertilization restores the diploid number.
Concept D: Cell Division
Describe the process of meiosis. (homologous chromosome
pairs, diploid, haploid, crossing over)
Concept A: DNA
Describe the structure of DNA (nucleotides, nitrogen bases-
A,T,C,G, deoxyribose, phosphate, double helix).
Concept B: DNA
Discuss the relationship among DNA, genes and chromosomes.

Students will participate in a
WebQuest where they will derive a
list of factors that may affect
differentiation and development.
(1.8, 1.10, 2.7, SC3)
Students will read an article that
identifies sources and potential uses
of stem cells.
(1.6, 3.1, SC3)
Students will observe and sketch
Allium root tips through a
microscope.
(1.4, SC3)
Students will complete a chart to
compare chromosome numbers of
different species.
(1.8, SC3)
Students will watch a meiosis square
dance video (United Streaming) and
diagram all possible outcomes of
gametes caused by independent
assortment.
(1.6, 1.8, 4.1, SC3)
Students will create a 3D model of a
DNA molecule.
(1.6, 2.5, SC3)
Students will create a 3D model of a
DNA molecule.
(1.6, 2.5, SC3)
Write a paragraph addressed to a
future mom identifying 5 factors that
could negatively affect the
development of the child during
pregnancy.
Students will name and describe a
specific function of mitosis.
Provided with pictures of cells during
various stages of mitosis, label each
cell with its correct phase.
Apply your knowledge of meiosis to
explain how a child with Trisomy
21/Down Syndrome and Klinefelter's
results.
Provided with pictures of cells during
various stages of meiosis, label each
cell with its correct phase and indicate
which cells are haploid or diploid and
where homologous chromosomes are
present.
Students will be able to use a kit to
construct a DNA molecule.
Write a paragraph to discuss the
relationship between DNA, genes,
and chromosomes.
