In this unit, students will use models to understand the relationship of genetic traits and their role in types of reproduction.
Priority Standards
Middle School Life Science 3-1: Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism.
Middle School Life Science 3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
Essential Skills:
Models
Punnet Squares
