Genetics and Evolution AKS
17 - explain how biological traits are passed to successive generations (GPS)
17a - apply the work of Gregor Mendel to the study of modern genetics and interpret the effect of dominant and recessive alleles
17b - explain the role of genes and chromosomes (genotypes) in the process of inheriting a specific trait (phenotype) (GPS)
17c - use a Punnett Square to predict the traits of offspring and the probability of getting a particular trait in a cross
17d - compare and contrast the outcome of meiosis and mitosis
17e - recognize that selective breeding can produce plants or animals with desired traits (GPS)
17f - compare and contrast that organisms reproduce sexually and asexually (bacteria, protests, fungi, plants and animals) (GPS)
17g – understand the correlation between mode of reproduction and genetic diversity
17h - (Extension) examine how multiple alleles combine to create various genotypes and phenotypes (e.g., skin color, eye color, blood type)
17i - (Extension) investigate common genetic disorders and how they are inherited
Bio 8c) identify common cell organelles and describe the function of each (e.g. diagrams and microscopic examinations)
Bio 9d) describe the relationship between changes in DNA and potential appearance of new traits including alterations during replication, insertions, deletions, and substitutions and mutagenic factors that can alter DNA (high energy radiation and chemical) (GPS)
Bio 9e) compare the advantages of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in different situations (GPS)
Bio 9f) examine the use of DNA technology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture (GPS)
Bio 9g) apply the principles of Mendelian genetics to predict probabilities of offspring
14 - examine the evolution of living organisms through inherited characteristics that promote survival of organisms and the survival of successive generations of their offspring (GPS)
14a - explain how physical characteristics of organisms have changed over time (e.g., Darwin’s finches and peppered moths of Manchester) (GPS)
14b - describe ways in which species on Earth have evolved due to natural selection (GPS)
14c – (Extension) analyze the evidence of evolution
14c1 – trace evidence that the fossil record found in sedimentary rock provides evidence for the long history of changing life forms (GPS)
14c2 – (Extension) explore genetic evidence supporting evolutionary relationships
Bio 12c) explain how fossil and biochemical evidence support the theory (GPS)
Bio 12d) relate natural selection to changes in species populations over time (GPS)
