This week, we will start our unit on Heredity. By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
Describe how dominant and recessive traits are inherited.
Develop and use a model to describe the probable genotype of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents.
Overarching Questions
How are characteristics of one generation passed to the next?
How can individuals of the same species and even siblings have different characteristics?
How can there be so many similarities among organisms yet so many different kinds of plants, animals, and microorganisms?
How does biodiversity affect humans?
