STAAR Biology EOC Target Plan
Weeks 3 and 4
SE Focus
B.5A, 6A
Science concepts.
The student knows
how an organism
grows and the
importance of cell
differentiation. The
student is expected
to:
(A) describe the
stages of the cell
cycle, including
deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA)
replication and
mitosis, and the
importance of the
cell cycle to the
growth of
organisms;
The student knows
the mechanisms of
genetics, including
the role of nucleic
acids and the
principles of
Mendelian Genetics.
The student is
expected to:
(A) identify
components of
DNA, and describe
how information for
specifying the traits
of an organism is
carried in the DNA
