Standard Four: Genetics

 

□      I can explain how DNA is the genetic material of living organisms.

□      I know that a cell contains genetic instructions that specify its traits

□      I can show how the two copies of the gene may or may not be the same.

□      I can demonstrate, using a Punnett Square, the probability of dominant and recessive alleles.

□      I know the difference between mitosis (asexual reproduction) and

□      Sexual reproduction, where offspring inherit half their genes from each parent (meiosis).

□      I can describe structures that plants have for carrying out reproduction.

Objectives

4.1 Compare and contrast asexual reproduction (mitosis), which results in a cell with identical chromosomes as the parent, and sexual reproduction, which produces offspring that inherit half their genes from each parent (meiosis), resulting in genetic variation. Describe the different structures that plants and animals have for carrying out reproduction.

4.2 Understand that DNA is the genetic material of living organisms, and is located in the chromosomes of each cell. A cell contains genetic instructions that specify its traits (genes).

4.3 Explain that cells contain thousands of genes, and typically have two copies of every gene. The two copies (or alleles) of the gene may or may not be the same. Demonstrate, using a Punnett Square, that one copy may be dominant in determining a trait while the other is recessive.
