Unit 10 Objectives: “Genetics” By the end of this unit, students will be able to: 1. Identify the relationships among nucleic acids, genes, and chromosomes. 2. Distinguish among the Principles of: Dominance, Segregation, and Independent Assortment 3. Distinguish between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes. 4. Understand how genotype controls phenotype. 5. Create a Punnett square to predict genotype and phenotype ratios. 6. Distinguish among and give examples of different types of inheritance; incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple allele, sex-linked. 7. Interpret a pedigree. 8. List and describe various chromosomal abnormalities, their causes and effects. 9. Make connections between genetics and natural selection; gene (allelic) frequencies and gene pool.
