Heredity

During this unit, we are looking at how living things grow and reproduce. We also look into the probability of offspring having certain traits and predicting whether or not traits are being passed on. By the end of this unit, we will know about:

  • DNA, the Cell Cycle, and Cancer
  • Mitosis and Meiosis
  • Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
  • Genetics and Heredity
  • Genotype and Phenotype
  • Punnett Squares and Pedigrees

The Amoeba Sisters channel on YouTube does a great job of explaining all of these topics. Khan Academy, and Crash Course are also great resources to use
