SC.7.L.16.1: Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of
(relevant
instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA) contains
elementary &
genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of
these instructions from one generation to another.

SC.7.L.16.3: Compare and contrast the general processes of sexual reproduction
requiring meiosis and asexual reproduction requiring mitosis.
SC.7.L.16.4: Recognize and explore the impact of biotechnology (cloning, genetic
engineering, artificial selection) on the individual, society and the environment.
