Expectations

SB2.a
Construct an explanation of how the structures of DNA and RNA lead to the expression of information within the cell via the processes of replication, transcription, and translation.
SB2.b
Construct an argument based on evidence to support the claim that inheritable genetic variations may result from:
- new genetic combinations through meiosis (crossing over, nondisjunction);
- non-lethal errors occurring during replication (insertions, deletions, substitutions); and/or
- heritable mutations caused by environmental factors (radiation, chemicals, and viruses).
SB2.c
Ask questions to gather and communicate information about the use and ethical considerations of biotechnology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture.
