The Sixth Unit of Biology is Genetics

The following standards will be covered in this Unit:

• BIO.B.2.1.1 - Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (i.e., dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles).
• BIO.B.2.1.2 - Describe processes that can alter the composition or number of chromosomes (i.e. crossing-over, nondisjunction, duplication, translocation, insertion, deletion, and inversion).
• BIO.B.2.2.1. - Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.
• BIO.B.2.2.2 - Describe the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and the nucleus in the production of specific type of proteins.
• BIO.B.2.3.1 - Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (e.g., silent, non-sense, missense, frameshift).
• BIO.B.2.4.1 - Explain how genetic engineering has impacted fields of medicine, forensics, and agriculture (e.g., selective breeding, gene splicing, cloning, genetically modified organisms, gene therapy).

Here are the workbook pages for this Unit.  We will be covering sections 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 14.1, 14.2, 14.4, 15.2, 15.3, 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, and 16.4.
