Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (i.e. dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles) 11.3 Other Inheritance Patterns Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (i.e. dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles) Chapter 14 14.1 Chromosomes/Karyotypes 14.2 Genetic Disorders Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (e.g.silent, nonsense, frame-shift) 14.3 Human Genome Chapter 15 15.1 Selective Breeding .5 cycles 15.2 Recombinant DNA 15.3 Applications of Genetic Engineering Explain how genetic engineering has impacted the field of medicine, forensics, and agriculture (e.g. selective breeding, gene splicing, cloning, genetically modified organisms, gene therapy) Chapter 16 16.3 Natural Selection 16.4 Evidence of Evolution 2.0 cycles Interpret evidence supporting the theory of evolution (i.e. fossil, anatomical, physiological, embryological, biochemical, and universal genetic code) Chapter 17 17.1 Genes and Variations 17.2 Population Genetics Explain how natural selection can impact allele frequency of a population Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotypic and phenotypic variations within a population Speciation 17.3 Describe the factors that can contribute to the development of new species (e.g. isolating mechanisms genetic drift, founder effect, migration) 3.0 cycles Chapters 3-6 3.1-3.3 What is Ecology – Energy Flow in Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems Describe the levels of ecological organization (i.e. organisms, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere) Describe characteristic biotic and abiotic components of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
