Unit 1: Genetics Plus
Essential Questions and Learning Goals:
Essential Questions:
Project: Twin to Twin
Essential Questions and Learning Goals:
Essential Questions:
- What are living things made of?
- How are traits passed on from one generation to the next?
- How does the genetic code lead to traits?
- Where does variation come from?
- How do biologists determine the evolutionary relationships between organisms?
- How can we predict which traits will pass from parents to offspring.
- Students can state how the levels of biological organization (atom, molecule, macromolecule, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism) act together to carry out the body’s functions.
- Students understand that monomers make up larger polymers and can describe the structures/functions of the major compounds of life (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids)
- Students can explain how our food provides the building blocks for the macromolecules in our cells.
- Students can describe the structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and Proteins.
- Students can explain the steps of DNA replication and understand it’s role in how each new cell acquires a copy of the organism’s genome
- Students know that protein synthesis is the process in which genes are expressed and can explain the steps
- Students can determine a protein’s amino acid sequence by transcribing DNA RNA, and subsequently translating the RNA Protein
- Apply rules of Mendelian inheritance patterns and use Punnett Squares to predict the genotypes and phenotypes in monohybrid, dihybrid and sex-linked crosses.
