S7L3Reproduction and Heredity
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain how organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually and transfer genetic information to determine the traits of their offspring.
Appears in: Science, Grade 7
Expectations
S7L3.aConstruct an explanation supported with scientific evidence of the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait.
S7L3.bDevelop 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.cAsk questions to gather and synthesize information about the ways humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms through selective breeding.
