Lesson 6: Chromosomal Inheritance
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Explain how chromosomal alterations or errors during meiosis can lead to genetic disorders and change the phenotype of an organism.
What are the cellular mechanics behind nondisjunction, and during which phases of meiosis can it occur?
How can a pedigree chart be used to deduce whether a genetic disorder is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or sex-linked?
5.2- Meiosis & Genetic Diversity
5.6- Environmental Effects on Phenotypes
Examine what happens when chromosomes fail to separate correctly during meiosis or when genetic material is structurally altered. Use pedigree charts and karyotypes to diagnose human genetic disorders, connecting microscopic errors in cell division to systemic medical conditions.
