GENETICS

 

the mechanisms of genetics, including the role of nucleic acids and the principles of Mendelian Genetics. 

The student is expected to:
(A)  identify components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA;
(B)  recognize that components that make up the genetic code are common to all organisms;
(C)  explain the purpose and process of transcription and translation using models of DNA and RNA;
(D)  recognize that gene expression is a regulated process;
(E)  identify and illustrate changes in DNA and evaluate the significance of these changes;
(F)  predict possible outcomes of various genetic combinations such as monohybrid crosses, dihybrid crosses and non-Mendelian inheritance;
(G)  recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual reproduction;
(H)  describe how techniques such as DNA fingerprinting, genetic modifications, and chromosomal analysis are used to study the genomes of organisms.
