Unit 7: Genetics Essential Questions 1. Why do offspring resemble their parents? 2. How does the understanding and manipulation of genetics and reproduction affect the quality of human life? Essential Learning Goal ACT Quality NGSS Question Core Addressed Standards 1. Why do I can describe the process of meiosis. C.1.f HS. offspring Inheritance I can summarize Mendel’s experiments and C.1.g, C.1.h resemble their findings, including the laws of segregation and and parents? Variation of independent assortment. Traits I can define and provide examples of the C.1.i following: genotype, phenotype, dominant allele, recessive allele, codominant alleles, incompletely dominant alleles, homozygous, heterozygous, and carrier. I can explain sex-linked patterns, including why C.1.j males are more at risk for some traits than females. I can construct and interpret Punnett squares C.1.k, C.1.l and pedigrees. This includes calculating and predicting phenotypic and genotypic ratios and ratios of offspring, as well as inferring parental genotypes and phenotypes from data presented from offspring. 2. How does the I can describe the mode of inheritance in C.1.m understanding commonly inherited disorders (sickle cell and manipulation anemia, Down syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, of genetics and PKU). reproduction affect the quality of human life?
