Build a baby (Genetics and sexology)
The specific learning objectives and terms:
Hormones in male and females, the sex hormones (Male: Testosterone, Female:
Estrogen and progesterone). In both sexes: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and
LH (luteinising hormone) produced in hypothalamus (the brain).
Male secondary sexual characteristics: penis, testes, facial and body hair/pubic hair.
Female secondary sexual characteristics: breast, menstruation/periods, pubic hair,
hips widen.
Menstrual cycle and ovulation (release of a mature egg cell), follicle. Hormonal
positive feedback (only in women) and hormonal negative feedback (in men and
women).
DNA and the central dogma (protein synthesis - short). DNA-replication and the
genetic code. cell division (mitosis and meiosis).
Chromosomes, X- and Y chromosome (Sex chromosomes) and autosomal
chromosomes (pair 1-22), gametes and gene mutations. Genetics - models of
inheritance. Phenotype, genotype, genes, homologous, heterozygous, genome,
haploid and diploid cells, recessiv/dominant, alleles (the version of a gene).
Codominance - Blood types: Co-dominance AB0. Learn about presenting genetic
material with punnet square and pedigree. Types of pedigrees: autosomal dominant,
autosomal recessiv, sex-linked dominant and recessiv (shortly) .
Reproduction in humans and the reproductive system: Sexual, asexual, fertilization,
gonads (male and female). Birth controls/contraceptives (Condoms, ‘the pill’, mini
pills (gestagen only pills), a copper IUD, a hormone IUD, a diaphragm) and STD's
(sexually transmitted diseases. Herpes, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV and AIDS, HPV,
Chlamydia).
Groupdiscussion on consent.
Core subject:
Genetics and molecular biology: principles of inheritance, the central dogma and
mutation. Reproduction and hormonal regulation.
Apply the subject's knowledge and methods for positioning and perspective in
connection with societal, technological, environmental and ethical issues with
biological content. Analyze and discuss data from experiments and studies, including
professional knowledge, sources of error and uncertainty. Perform simple
experiments and studies in the laboratory and in the field, taking safety into account
̶ process data from qualitative and quantitative experiments and studies and
document experimental work appropriately.
Experimental work:
PTC (Who can taste the bitter substance?)
DNA in strawberries
Examination of monohybrid traits
