Mendel & Heredity:
The student will identify the components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA.
Monohybrid Crosses, Dihybrid Crosses/Pedigrees:
The student will predict possible outcomes of various genetic combinations such as monohybrid crosses, dihybrid crosses, and non-mendelein inheritance.
DNA Technology: Genetic Engineering, DNA Fingerprinting, Genome Project:
The student will describe how techniques such s DNA fingerprinting, genetic modifications, and chromosomal analysis are used to study the genomes of organisms.
