2.2.1 Heredity: Inheritance and Diversification

LET’S GET READY!

Directions: Choose one from the activities and accomplish it before proceeding to the
discussions. Your option should complement the available resources you have. For your answer or
output, use a SCRATCH PAPER. Make sure to write your name, year & section, date and unit
number with prelecture activity letter of your option (either A, B, C or D). Output in all activities
should be submitted either at the respective LGU kiosk, or via Facebook messenger group (EEd4)
chat or email, send it to maryrose.briones@ssu.edu.ph

C. Ask you parent if you have a heritable disease. Trace which family side has this disease.

 My mother says that I have a heritable disease which are a weak heart disease. This disease
came from my mother side.

LET’S THINK MORE...

Answer the following questions which correspond to the activity you had earlier. Write your answer on
a SCRATCH PAPER.

For Activity C

1. How did you say that the trait is heritable? Which family side has this blood line?

 I can say that the trait is heritable because my mother inherited this trait from his mother which
her children were also inherited that trait. My mother side has this blood line.

Comprehension Check
What is cell division?

 Cell devision is making new cells. A single cell divides to make two cells and these two cells then
divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this process cell division because new cells are
formed when old cells divide. The ability of cells to divide is unique for living organisms.

Critical Thinking
 How will you relater meiosis to variations of organisms on earth?

 Variation of organism on earth is like meiosis which is there also A

reduction of organism because of its habitat.

LET’S HAVE AN ASSESSMENT…

DIRECTIONS: Do the following assessment tasks/exercises. Use a SCRATCH PAPER for your task
accomplishment. Your may submit your output to your respective kiosk via FB messenger group
chat or send it to my email at maryrose.briones@ssu.edu.ph.

A.Which among the following supports best the Mendelian principles of heredity? Choose as
many as you want. Justify your answer by writing 5-10 sentence.

1. In a test cross, the result will always give you 3:1 ratio.

2. The traits of both parents may coexist thus, the traits are both manifested Eeephenotypically.

3.A trait can either be dominant or recessive.

4.A trait may not be manifested in the offspring in the first generation.

5.The genes of a parent is segregated and assorted independently in the gametes.

6. The traits of parents are never observed in the offspring because it dies the moment it carries
the gene.

 I choose number 1, 3 and 4. Because in mendelian principles of heredity traits were not blended
but remained distinct in subsequent generations.

B. Illustrate the stages of meiosis and give emphasis on the stage(s) which contribute(s) to the
variations of species of plants and animals. For the description of your illustration, please just
put a box below each stage and write there your description.

Stages Description

Interphase Replication of DNA in preparation for meiosis. After replication,

each chromosome becomes a structure comprising 2 identical
chromatids.
Prophase I The chromosomes condense into visible X shaped structures that
can be easily seen under a microscope, and homologous
chromosomes pair up.
Metaphase I Paired chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.
Anaphase I The pairs of chromosomes separate and move to opposing poles.
Either one of each pair can go to either pole.
Telophase I Nuclear membranes reform. Cell divides and 2 daughter cells are
formed, each with 23 chromosomes.
Prophase II There are now 2 cells. DNA does not replicate again.

Metaphase II Individual chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.

Anaphase II The chromosome copies (chromatids) separate and move to

opposing poles.

Cyrie Marie P. Ocale BEEd-2B

 Similarities: color, there differences are the size, skin/texture and shape.

3. Explain your observation on their similarities & differences?

 In plants they are the same color in terms of their leaves but they are different in a way of there
size because they are big and small and also the shape. In animals they are different in their
texture because of their hair.

write false. In addition, justify your answer by providing one sentence for each item.

 T. It is true because evolution is the changes in human generation that can help us where we
came from.

2. Humans evolved from apes.

not the idea that we came from ape.

LET’S HAVE AN ASSESSMENT…

DIRICTION: Do the following assessment tasks/exercises. Use a SCRATCH PAPER for your task
accomplishment.

A. Refer to Figure 16 in page 66 and identify at most 5 biotic and 5 abiotic factors and
describe their interaction and determine the purpose of their interaction.

Refer to the matrix below for your output:

Biotic Factor Abiotic another biotic factor Description & purpose of

interaction
Frog Water and frog The frog needs water Because it
is where they fertilize eggs.
Deer Gas and deer Deer needs gas for the oxygen
so that they can survive.
Turtle Water and turtle Turtle needs water because it is
the primary source of there
food.
Grass Grass and soil The grass needs soil for the
nutrient.
Fish Water and fish The fish needs water because it
serve as there shelter.

B. Supply Test: Complete the statements below by supplying appropriate word(s).

1. An organism may survive in a habitat when it

2. The secondary consumer is the prey of a carnivorous organism whose trophic level is tertiary.

3. If the secondary consumer will be gone, the population of primary consumer will increase.

4. The role of decomposers is to breaking down the dead organisms in a food chain.

5. Symbiosis is a biological interaction of Community.

C. True or False: Determine whether the statement in each item is true or false and justify your
answer by providing 1 or 2 sentences for each.

9
Cyrie Marie P. Ocale BEEd-2B

1. Living things alone can survive.

 False, Because all living things depend on their environment to supply them with what they
need, including food, water, and shelter..And also species cannot live alone. All life needs other
life to survive.

2. Because gas is not seen by your unaided eye, it does not help you survive.

 False, because gas is the primary needs of livings because without gas we cannot live.

3. Plants are the only kinds of primary producers in the food chain.

 False, because there was also fungi and bacteria as serve primary source

4.Parasitism is the only symbiosis that is designated by +/ — symbols.

 False, because there are also the Predation And hervivory that is designated by +/- symbol.

5. A decomposer is only found at the end of the food chain.

 True. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria complete the food chain. They turn organic wastes,
such as decaying plants, into inorganic materials, such as nutrient-rich soil.
