Genetics and Inheritance
I Can Make Predictions About Genotype & Phenotype Using Probability.
a. I can use the rules of probability to predict the genotypic and phenotypic outcomes of a one-trait cross.
b. I can construct and interpret a test cross in order to determine genotype.
I Can Identify The Process Of Meiosis & Explain Its Role In Inheritance.
a. I can explain the role of meiosis in gamete formation.
b. I can explain how the failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis leads to changes in the total number of chromosomes.
c. I can interpret a karyotype and determine if meiosis occurred correctly.
I Can Describe The Relationship Between Alleles, Genes, Chromosomes, Genotype & Phenotype.
a. I can define the following terms: allele, gene, chromosomes, genotype, phenotype.
b. I can distinguish between alleles, genes, and chromosomes.
c. I can determine the phenotype based upon a particular genotype.
