Objectives
MS-LS4-6. (IS Chapter 2) - Use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.
MS-LS3-1. (IS Chapter 1) - Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism.
MS-LS4-5. (IS Chapter 1, 2) - Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms.
