TR 3.1 - "Why Are Identical Twins so Rare"

Objective: KWBAT obtain and evaluate information about inheritance in humans and what can cause offspring to have different gene combinations even though they have the same parents.

Part 1: Do Now


Question 1
1.

The picture above shows three brothers. They share the same genes but they have different traits.

Predict: how is it possible that they have different traits even if they have the same parents?

Part 2: Introducing the Chapter 3 Question

Welcome back! As a reminder, we are trying to help Bay Medical Company determine how to breed spiders that will produce offspring with the trait for medium silk flexibility to use for medical purposes. We need to determine why Darwin’s bark spiders’ offspring have different traits for silk flexibility.
Here is the updated model that you worked on in the last lesson; as you can see, we now know the correct gene versions for each of the offspring:

Part 3: Reading "Why are Identical Twins so Rare?"


To help us understand why offspring from the same parents can have different genes, let’s look at the opposite situation: what about offspring that do have identical genes?

Question 19

Reflect:

Angel looks very similar to his other 2 siblings. They all have the same parents.

Why do they look similar, but not identical?

Identical means EXACTLY the same.

Predict:
Why do the Darwin’s bark spider offspring have different gene combinations even though they have the same parents?
Claim 1: The offspring have mutations that affect their traits.
Claim 2: The offsprings' traits depend on which parent the offspring received more copies of genes from.
Claim 3: The offspring received different combinations of gene versions from their parents.
Review: A spider was found to have the F1F2 gene version. Based on what you know about gene versions and their numbers answer the following question:

Which of the following is true about the F1 and F2 gene versions?
They each cause the silk flexibility to increase
One is found in males, the other in females
They cannot be found in the same spider
They have instructions for different proteins
Review: From the image above, which of the following gene versions are homozygous?
Offspring A: F1 & F1
Offspring B: F1 & F2
Offspring C: F1 & F1
Offspring D: F2 & F3
Review: From the image above, which of the following gene versions are heterozygous?
Offspring A: F1 & F1
Offspring B: F1 & F2
Offspring C: F1 & F1
Offspring D: F2 & F3

Most cells have ____ copies of each gene, but reproductive cells like sperm or eggs have ____.
1, 2
2, 1
2, 2
10, 5
Why do identical twins look alike?
Because they have the same parents.
Because they have the same proteins and genes.
Because they have the same human microbiome.
Match the type of reproductive cells that are from the mother and from the father.
From mother
sperm cells
From father
egg cells
True or False:

While most cells have two copies of every gene, sperm cells and egg cells only have one copy of each gene.
True
False
True or false:

Fertilization happens when sperm and egg cells come together.
True
False
How does genetic variation happen?
Each parent randomly passing on one copy of each gene.
We still do not know how genetic variation works.
Each parent selectively passing on one copy of each gene.
How many times does fertilization happen in fraternal twins?
1 time
3 times
2 times
How many times does fertilization happen in identical twins?
1 time
3 times
2 times
