Create a slideshow presentation with content that addresses
the prompts below. The presentation must include relevant visual aids such as
pictures, charts, graphs, etc
Slide 1: title of assignment
Slide 2: Define sexual
reproduction and discuss the advantages and disadvantages from a biological
perspective
Slide 3: Define and briefly
describe meiosis and explain how it contributes to generating genetic
variability
Slide 4-6: Describe Mendel’s work
with pea plants and give an example of a trait that you can follow through
Mendelian Genetics in these plants. If you cross a pea plant with purple
flowers with a pea plant with purple flowers and end up with only
purple-flowered plants, what do you know about the genotype of the parental
plants? Imagine that you do the same experiment with a different set of
purple-flowered plants, but this time, you end up with plants with white
flowers in a ratio of 1:3. What do you know about the genotype of these
parental plants? Can you trust a phenotype to determine the genotype of an
organism?
Slide 7: Explain how DNA becomes
an observable trait by describing the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology.
Slide 8: Provide an example of a
physical trait that you can see is connected in a family that is biologically
related (this can be your family or a family that you know.) Give a description
of the physical trait and how you see it showing up in more than one
generation.
Slide 9: List the sources you have
used in APA format for the information contained in your presentation. Briefly
read over the sources used in your presentation.
