STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC (Module, if applicable): Mendel & Patterns
of Heredity
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
Explain how genetic information is inherited.
Compare Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of
inheritance.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Students will understand: •
Describe how the process of DNA replication results in the
transmission and /or conservation of genetic information.
Explain the functional relationships between DNA, genes,
alleles, and chromosomes and their roles in inheritance.
How is genetic information inherited?
What are the differences between Mendalian and nonMendelian patterns of inheritance
Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance
(i.e., dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete
dominance, sex-linked, polygenic , and multiple alleles.
Desc ribe processes that can alter composition or number of
chromosomes (i.e., crossing-over, nondisjunction,
duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion, and
inversion).
