Meiosis assignment
This assignment will be submitted for grading at the end of the unit. You will be
required to create a stop motion, animation, flip book, storyboard, or script of
meiosis.
Stop motion is when you take a series of pictures and put them together to form a
video. Like a flip-book, you move the material or images a tiny bit in each frame so
that, when they play in sequence, it appears as though they are playing in one fluid
movement. You can use a mobile device or a computer to create a stop-motion
project.
Your assignment will be graded according to the Meiosis assignment rubric.
(../assets/locker_docs/sbi3u_04_stop_motion_meiosis_asses.pdf)
Choose from the following options for your assignment:
Stop motion on a mobile device For an iOS device (iPod touch, iPad, iPhone), you can download iMotion (or
any other stop motion app) for free. For an Android device, you could try Stop
Motion (or a similar app).
Stop motion on a computer
You can use a camera or phone to take photos and then use PowerPoint or
Google Slides to put them in order.
Animation on a computer
You can use PowerPoint or Google Slides to draw the series of images that
will make your animation.
Flip-book
Draw a series of images on the bottom corners of a notebook and then video
record yourself flipping through it.
Storyboard
Draw a series of images and submit the images.
Script
Write a script for a film to demonstrate meiosis. Include any scene
instructions/descriptions and director's notes.
Begin your assignment by researching/reviewing the following questions:
• What is the purpose of meiosis?
• What type of cells does it create?
• What is the difference between haploid and diploid?
• How many chromosomes do humans have in regular cells? In sex cells (sperm
and egg cells)?
• What are the stages of meiosis? What happens in each stage?
• What is crossing over? How does it help ensure genetic diversity?
Your assignment will be graded according to the Meiosis assignment rubric
(../assets/locker_docs/sbi3u_04_stop_motion_meiosis_asses.pdf), based on
the following Success Criteria.

Stop motion is when you take a series of pictures and put them together to form a video.
Like a flip-book, you move the material or images a tiny bit in each frame so that, when they
play in sequence, it appears as though they are playing in one fluid movement. You can use
mobile devices or computers to create a stop motion project.
You had a choice of the following options for your assignment:
Stop motion on a mobile device – For an iOS device (iPod touch, iPad, iPhone), you
can download iMotion (or any other stop motion app) for free. For an Android device,
you could try Stop Motion (or a similar app).
● Stop motion on a computer - You can use a camera or phone to take photos and

Task 2: Opinion piece
TVO ILC
Task 2: Opinion piece
Read through the following instructions before watching the video,
Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Genetic Knowledge. Once you have
finished watching the video, you can start working on your opinion piece.
The big picture
Consider the following questions from the video:
In the future, doctors will likely be able to give each of us a genetic report card that will spell
out our risk of developing a variety of different diseases. But will we really want that informa-
tion? How will it be used? Who will have access to our genetic information? How will it affect
our lives, our families, and our communities?Write a 1-2 page opinion piece answering
these questions. Keep in mind that these are complex ideas that require an understanding of
ethical scientific practices. However, there are no right or wrong answers as long as your
work shows that you have given considerable thought to the guiding questions provided in
the following table.
The opinion piece should answer the question “Should genetic report cards be created"?
Main questions to consider
Would you want a genetic report card?
What are the advantages of such knowledge?
What are the disadvantages of knowing your
genetic strengths and weaknesses?
How will this information be used?
Who will have access to it?
How will having access to such information
affect our individual lives?
How will it affect society at large?
Relevant ideas to ponder
This is a personal question; answer it based
on your own opinion.
Potential for making genetic/lifestyle
modifications to avoid future diseases
Finding out one has an incurable condition
will drastically affect one's quality of life, even
before the onset of the disease (for example,
Huntington's disease).
Information may be used to grant or deny
essential services (for example, an individual
being denied health/life insurance due to a
high risk of future health conditions).
Privacy issues regarding access to one's
health records including genetic makeup
Quality of life, lifestyle choices, and so on
It can revolutionize the way we use and
process individual genetic information.

Task 2: Opinion piece
Please note that the questions and relevant ideas in the above table are samples to help
you formulate your own written piece on the subject of ethics in the field of genetic science
and research. Your paper can include answers to these questions or other related ideas,
presented in your own words. Be sure to use APA style to cite any ideas and information you
borrow from other sources.

ment, review the rubric to ensure that you are meeting the Success Criteria to the best of

3. Task 4: Genetic problems
1. In humans, the recessive allele that causes a form of red-green colour blindness (c) is
found on the X chromosome.
k. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F, generation from
I.
a colour-blind father and a mother who is homozygous for normal
colour vision.
Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the F, generation from
a father who has normal colour vision and a mother who is heterozy-
gous for colour vision.
m. Draw the possible Punnett squares to determine the genotypes of
parents that could produce a daughter who is colour blind.
1. Consider a cross between a pea plant that is heterozygous for round seeds
and a pea plant that has wrinkled seeds. The allele for round seeds (R) is
dominant over that for wrinkled seeds (r). Using a Punnett square, determine
the genotypes of the offspring.
2. In guinea pigs, the black coat (B) is dominant over the white coat (b), and
straight hair (H) is dominant over curly hair (h). Using a Punnett square, com-
plete the cross between a heterozygous black, curly-haired individual and a
homozygous straight-haired, white individual. State the parent genotypes and
gametes, and the F, phenotypes and genotypes.
3. Hypophosphatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by a deficiency
of phosphates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disor-
der, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters, but not their
sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their
children.
•
•
Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Explain.
Draw Punnett squares to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the
two scenarios.
Feedback and marking
You will receive three kinds of feedback:
•
Your teacher will highlight the levels on the rubric that best describe your work.
Your teacher will also provide you with detailed comments about the strengths, areas
that need improvement, and the steps you should take before submitting further assess-
ments.
The final piece of feedback that you will receive will be your mark. Each of the four
categories of knowledge and skills is weighted equally. The final mark on this Assess-
ment grading of your learning is determined by your teacher based on their professional
judgement of the requirements for the assignment.
