Biology (Eubanks)
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the molecular basis of heredity.
5c. Examine inheritance patterns using current technology (e.g., pedigrees, karyotypes, gel
electrophoresis). (DOK 2)
6. Demonstrate an understanding of principles that explain the diversity of life and
biological evolution.
a. Draw conclusions about how organisms are classified into a hierarchy of groups and
subgroups based on similarities that reflect their evolutionary relationships. (DOK 2)

Major levels in the hierarchy of taxa (e.g., kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family,
genus, and species) Body plans (symmetry)
Methods of sexual reproduction (e.g., conjugation, fertilization, pollination)
Methods of asexual reproduction (e.g., budding, binary fission, regeneration, spore
formation)
