Unit 6- Genetics
Genetics
Compare Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.
- Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (i.e, dominant, recessive,co-dominance, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles).
- Describe processes that can alter composition or number of chromosomes (i.e.,crossing-over, non disjunction, duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion,and inversion).
Explain the process of proteinsynthesis (i.e. transcription, translations, and protein modification).
- Describehow the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.
- Describethe role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and the nucleusin the production of specific types of proteins.
Explain how genetic information is expressed.
- Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (e.g., silent, nonsense, frame-shift)
Apply scientific thinking,processes, tools and technologies in the study of genetics.
- Explain how genetic engineering has impacted the fields of medicine, forensics, and agriculture (e.g., selective breeding, gene splicing, cloning, genetically modified organisms, gene therapy).
