6.1
I can compare and contrast the processes of meiosis and mitosis, and explain that each
process serves a different purpose.
6.2
I can explain how meiosis results in genetic variation/diversity while mitosis maintains
continuity.
6.3
I can explain the genetic basis for Mendel’s law of segregation and law of independent
assortment.
6.4
I can explain how nondisjunction during meiosis can result in chromosomal disorders
like monosomy or trisomy.
6.5
I can distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes, and explain how
chromosomes determine gender.
6.6
I can explain how a karyotype can be useful in diagnosing genetic disorders such as
Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, and Klinefelter Syndrome.
6.7
I can differentiate between homologous pairs of chromosomes and sister chromatids.
6.8
I can distinguish between and be able to apply the following concepts: gene, trait, alleles,
dominant allele, recessive allele, genotype, phenotype, homozygous dominant,
homozygous recessive, heterozygous.
6.9
I can predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring using the following:
a) monohybrid crosses
b) monohybrid crosses, showing incomplete dominance
c) dihybrid crosses
d) sex-linked traits
e) multiple alleles
6.10
I can explain ABO blood typing as an example of multiple alleles.
6.11
I can apply the concepts of autosomal and sex-linked traits to interpret a pedigree.
6.12
I can explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may be silent or result in
phenotypic change in an organism and in its offspring.
Enrichment:
--I can explain how meiosis relates to oogenesis and spermatogenesis in animals.
