SB2Genetic Information Expression
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze how genetic information is expressed in cells.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SB2.aConstruct 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.bConstruct 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.cAsk questions to gather and communicate information about the use and ethical considerations of biotechnology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture.
