CD District Common Student Learning Map
Concept Map: Biology I
Key Learning(s):
Topic: Mendelian & Human Genetics
Unit Essential Question(s):
The continuity of life is maintained by passing of
chemical substances from one generation to
another in predictable patterns.
How are traits passed on from parents
to offspring?
Human traits are a result of genes passed on by
parents and chromosomal arrangement.
How do chromosomal changes lead to
human diversity?
Concept:
Concept:
Mendelian Genetics
Inheritance/Human Genetics
3.1.B.B5: Describe how Mendel’s law of
segregation and independent assortment can be
observed through patterns of inheritance
Demonstrate how inherited characteristics can be
observed at the molecular, cellular and organism
level
3.1.B.B5: Distinguish among observed
inheritance patterns caused by several
types of genetic traits (dominant,
recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked,
incomplete dominance, multiple
alleles)
Lesson Essential Questions:
Lesson Essential Questions:
1. How do different patterns of inheritance
results in different phenotypic ratios?
2. How did Mendel lay the foundation for
modern genetics
Grade: 10
1. How do small changes in DNA
cause big changes in living
things?
2. How do sex linked traits affect
males and females differently?
3. How do chromosomes
determine the sex of an
organism?
