Competency Goals:: 5: The learner will conduct investigations and utilize appropriate technologies and information systems to build an understanding of heredity and genetics.
Objectives:
5.01: Explain the significance of genes to inherited characteristics:
Genes are the units of information.
Parents transmit genes to their offspring.
Some medical conditions and diseases are genetic. 5.02: Explain the significance of reproduction:
Sorting and recombination of parents' genetic material.
Potential variation among offspring. 5.03: Identify examples and patterns of human genetic traits:
Dominant and recessive.
Incomplete dominance. 5.04: Analyze the role of probability in the study of heredity:
Role of each parent in transfer of genetic traits.
Analysis of pedigrees. 5.05: Summarize the genetic transmittance of disease. 5.06: Evaluate evidence that human characteristics are a product of:
Inheritance.
Environmental factors, and
Lifestyle choices.
