Probability /Mendelian Genetics/Gene Mapping
Content Standards –
Genetics - Mutation and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation in a population.
- A multi-cellular organism develops from a single zygote, and its phenotype depends on its genotype, which is established at fertilization.
- Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism that specify the sequence of amino acids in proteins
characteristic of that organism.
Evolution - The frequency of an allele in a gene pool of a population depends on many factors and may be stable or unstable over time.
- Evolution is the result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environments.
State Standards- IV.10.3.a, V.10.4.a, V.10.4.b, V.10.5.a, V.10.5.b, V.10.6.a
National Standards - I, A.1, C.2.b, II, III
NSTA Core Competencies


General concepts of genetics and heredity.
Fundamental processes of modeling and investigating in the biological sciences.
Essential Questions
� How are the principles of probability used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?
When crossing two heterozygous individuals for a given trait, what are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring?
What are gene maps and how are they produced?
