Expectations

  • SMI5.a

    Develop and use models to investigate and compare the molecular mechanisms involved in DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

  • SMI5.b

    Develop and use models to demonstrate the molecular basis of gene expression (transcription) in microbes.

  • SMI5.c

    Construct explanations on how genetic variations in microbes arise due to mutations and gene transfer (via transformation, transduction, and/or conjugation) and how these genetic variations affect survival and functioning of prokaryotes.

  • SMI5.d

    Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction of eukaryotes, asexual reproduction of prokaryotes, and replication of viruses.

  • SMI5.e

    Construct an explanation of how genetic variation can lead to microbial evolution and ultimately how this information impacts modern biotechnological applications.
