5.3 Life Science All students will understand that life science principles are powerful conceptual tools for making sense of the complexity, diversity,
and interconnectedness of life on Earth. Order in natural systems arises in accordance with rules that govern the physical world, and the order of
natural systems can be modeled and predicted through the use of mathematics.
D. Heredity and Reproduction: Organisms reproduce, develop, and have predictable life cycles. Organisms contain genetic information that
influences their traits, and they pass this on to their offspring during reproduction.
Genes are segments of DNA molecules located in the chromosome of each cell. DNA molecules contain information that determines a sequence of
