2. Big Ideas / Major
Understandings:

3. What determines structure and function of
cells?
The DNA molecule

4. Offspring receive genetic
information (DNA) from their
parents.

5. Chromosomal mutations
may lead to
genetic variation

6. Unity and Diversity

7. Explain
the structural properties of DNA
and the
role of DNA in
heredity
passing of traits to offspring
and
protein synthesis
production of protein

8. Assessment
Diagram and explain the role of DNA in heredity :
DNA replication replicating DNA
and protein synthesis
which includes
producing mRNA from
transcription DNA
translation making protein using tRNA
and ribosomes (rRNA)

9. Explain
Mendel's laws of heredity
• the Law of Segregation and
• the Law of Independent Assortment
The Law of Segregation states that the members of each pair of
alleles separate when gametes are formed. A gamete will receive
one allele or the other.
The Law of Independent assortment states that two or more pairs
of alleles segregate independently of one another during
gamete formation.
And how can the laws
can be used to
determine the traits of
possible offspring

10. Assessment
Use Mendel's laws to predict
the potential offspring of two parents:
Both
phenotype
and
genotype

11. Explain possible causes of
chromosomal
mutations
and their effects on
genetic variation

12. Assessment
Name human chromosomal disorders
Sickle cell anemia
Down Syndrome
and describe the cause and symptoms of each Cystic Fibrosis
