Outcomes
- Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation of distribution of expressed traits in a population
- Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to off-spring
- Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from:1. new genetic combinations through meiosis, 2. viable errors occurring during replication, and/or 3. mutations caused by environmental factors
- Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms
