Expectations

  • S7L3.a

    Construct an explanation supported with scientific evidence of the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait.

  • S7L3.b

    Develop and use a model to describe how asexual reproduction can result in offspring with identical genetic information while sexual reproduction results in genetic variation.

  • S7L3.c

    Ask questions to gather and synthesize information about the ways humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms through selective breeding.
