CAMP Biology PreAP
Unit 4: Meiosis, DNA & Genetic Code (6G, 6A, 6B)
10/8 – 10/21
Enduring Understandings
(s)/goals:
EU1: SWBT describe the
different stages of meiosis.
EU2: SWBT explain how
meiosis is important to sexual
reproduction.
EU3: SWBT draw & label the
structures of a nucleotide &
DNA.
EU4: SWBT explain how DNA
holds codes for specific traits.
EU5: SWBT explain how DNA
is found in every organism.
Stage 1 – Desired Results
Essential Question(s):
Student outcomes (objective):
EQ1: What would happen if
sex cells divide by mitosis?
EQ2: Why should a sex cell
have only half the normal
amount of chromosomes?
EQ3: How is DNA like a
computer program?
EQ4: Why do you and your
sister have a widow’s peak
but your brother doesn’t?
EQ5: Is every living organism
connected in some way?
6G (R) Recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual
reproduction.
6A (S) Identify components of DNA, and describe how
information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried
in the DNA.
6B (S) Recognize that components that make up the genetic
code are common to all organisms.
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
