We started today with the following daily questions to introduce the next topic.
Monday February 11th
Monday February 11th
Each one of the somatic cells (our body cells) has how
many chromosomes?
46
Where did those chromosomes come from.
23 from your mother, 23 from your father.

| We will be working with these chromosome models through this chapter. In this "cell" there are 46 chromosomes. All the blue ones are the 23 that we received from our fathers and the 23 red ones are those we received from our mothers. |
What two cells (from your parents) came together in
order to give you the unique combination of DNA that you have?
Egg and Sperm
How many chromosomes did each of THOSE cells HAVE to
have?
23
These questions were to get you ready for our next topic which is meiosis. During meiosis we will find out how gametes (sex cells) are created. I then let you watch the first couple minutes of the following crash course before you began getting basic information down from the book.
