Chapter 19 SUMMARY
656 Chapter 19 NEL
Outcomes
Knowledge
- summarize the historical events that led to the discovery of
the structure of the DNA molecule, as demonstrated by
Franklin, Watson, and Crick (19.3) - explain the limitations of variability due to gene linkage and
the influence of crossing over on assortment of genes on
the same chromosome (19.2) - explain the relationship between variability and the number
of genes controlling a trait (19.2) - compare the pattern of inheritance produced by genes on
the sex chromosomes to that of genes on autosomes, as
investigated by Morgan and others (19.1)
STS
- explain that decisions regarding the application of scientific
and technological development involve a variety of
perspectives including social, cultural, environmental,
ethical, and economic considerations (19.2, 19.3)
Skills
- ask questions and plan investigations (19.2, 19.3)
- conduct investigations and gather and record data and
information (19.1, 19.2) - analyze data and apply mathematical and conceptual
models by analyzing crossover data for a single pair of
chromosomes to create a chromosome map showing gene
arrangement and relative distance (19.2) - work as members of a team and apply the skills and
conventions of science (all)
Key Terms
19.1
autosome
linked genes
sex-linked trait
recessive lethal
Barr body
MAKE a summary
- Create a poster of a human genome that shows the
principles of sex-linked genes and helps show the
relationship between genes and chromosomes. Label
the sketch with as many of the key terms as possible.
Check other posters and use appropriate ideas to make
your poster clear.

Beyond the Genome
Dr. Victor Ambros (professor of genetics at Dartmouth Medical
School), Dr. Katherine Wilson (associate professor of cell
biology at Johns Hopkins Medical School), and Dr. Wolf Reik,
(Babraham Institute in Cambridge, England) discuss their
research on how our cells really work, including how genes
“know” to turn on at the right times.
