Unit 6 Schedule: Genetics
Textbook Reference: Chapters 13, 14, 15
Essential Questions (The Big Picture):
- How is heritable information passed to the next generation?
- How is variation introduced into the population?
- What patterns of inheritance are used, and how can mathematical routines be used to analyze them?

Learning Objectives (LOs) and Scientific Practices (SPs):
LO 3.9 The student is able to construct an explanation, using visual representations or narratives, as to how DNA in chromosomes is transmitted to the next generation via mitosis, or meiosis followed by fertilization. [SP 6.2]
LO 3.10 The student is able to represent the connection between meiosis and increased genetic diversity necessary for evolution. [SP 7.1]
LO 3.11 The student is able to evaluate evidence provided by data sets to support the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another generation through mitosis, or meiosis followed by fertilization. [SP 5.3]
LO 3.12 The student is able to construct a representation that connects the process of meiosis to the passage of traits from parent to offspring. [SP 1.1, 7.2]
LO 3.13 The student is able to pose questions about ethical, social or medical issues surrounding human genetic disorders. [SP 3.1]
LO 3.14 The student is able to apply mathematical routines to determine Mendelian patterns of inheritance provided by data sets. [SP 2.2]
LO 3.15 The student is able to explain deviations from Mendel’s model of the inheritance of traits. [SP 6.5]
LO 3.16 The student is able to explain how the inheritance patterns of many traits cannot be accounted for by Mendelian genetics. [SP 6.3]
LO 3.17 The student is able to describe representations of an appropriate example of inheritance patterns that cannot be explained by Mendel’s model of the inheritance of traits. [SP 1.2]
LO 3.27 The student is able to compare and contrast processes by which genetic variation is produced and maintained in organisms from multiple domains. [SP 7.2]
LO 3.28 The student is able to construct an explanation of the multiple processes that increase variation within a population. [SP 6.2]
