TEKS

7.14 Organisms and environments. The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to:

7.14A define heredity as the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation
7.14C recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in the genes within chromosomes in the nucleus
7.14B compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction
