Unit 8 - Heredity
Goal 1: SWBAT distinguish between inherited and acquired traits/characteristics. SWBAT apply an understanding of dominant and recessive genes to determine an organism’s phenotype. SWBAT explain how knowledge of inherited variations within and between generations is applied to farming and animal breeding.
4 I can do everything below AND make connections between this unit and other units or connections to real-world issues.

❏
1. I can identify the difference between inherited traits and learned traits and provide examples of each.
❏
2. I can distinguish between dominant and recessive genes and use my knowledge to determine the organism’s genotype and phenotype.
❏
3. I can use knowledge of dominant and recessive genes to complete a Punnett Square in order to predict the phenotype of offspring.
❏
4. I can identify how scientists use their knowledge of DNA to perform selective breeding.
I successfully completed all lab activities and projects in this unit with very little teacher assistance.
2 I can recognize and recall the meaning of vocabulary from this unit, such as; heredity, gene, dominant trait, recessive trait, genotype, phenotype, and selective breeding.
I can recall important isolated facts from this unit, but I need more help making connections between those facts. For example, I know the difference between dominant traits and recessive traits, but I need help using a Punnett square to predict the phenotype of future generations.
I needed some assistance to complete lab activities and projects for this unit.
1 I can recognize vocabulary from this unit, but need help recalling the meaning of each term.

I needed a lot of assistance to complete lab activities and projects for this unit.
