Mendelian Genetics Unit Plan
Biomedical Research Academy-Mr. Rabold
Week of 11-4 thru 11-14
Monday
Biomed Academy
Mendel Part 1
Rabold
Objectives:SWBAT:
-describe Mendel’s experimentation and principles
-explain the mechanisms of inheritance
-perform genetic crosses
-Recognize that plasmids can be employed as an important tool in genetic
engineering and can serve as vectors, vehicles for the movement of genetic
information.
-Explain how molecular tools such as ligase and restriction enzymes are used to
cut and paste DNA from different sources.
-Describe how recombinant DNA technology can be used to produce vaccines.
-Identify the appropriate steps in an outbreak investigation. Assume the role of an
epidemiologist to analyze disease data, design an epidemiologic study, and
evaluate prevention and therapy for chronic and infectious diseases.
Standards: II-A Eukaryotic chromosomes, Inheritance patterns
Process:
Lecture/Discussion-Mendel Part 1
