Daily Learning Targets Unit 5: Heredity These are the official learning targets for unit 5: Heredity. We will be covering all of these learning targets in class, and they will be used to construct our next exam. I may choose to break some of these learning targets down into smaller, more manageable steps if we need to. You must learn the material pertaining to each learning target on this sheet in order to do well during this unit and on the unit exam. These learning targets are aligned with the Quality Core Standards for Biology. 1. I can describe the basic process of mitosis. (B.1.j) 2. I can describe the basic process of meiosis. (C.1.f) 3. I can identify and explain Mendel’s law of segregation and law of independent assortment. (C.1.g) 4. I can explain how the process of meiosis reveals the mechanism behind Mendel’s conclusions abour segregation and independent assortment on a molecular level. 5. I can define and provide an example of the following: genotype, phenotype, dominant allele, recessive allele, codominant alleles, incompletely dominant alleles, homozygous, heterozygous, and carrier. (C.1.i) 6. I can explain sex-linked patterns of inheritance in terms of some genes being absent from the smaller Y chromosome, and thus males (XY) having a different chance of exhibiting certain traits than do females (XX). (C.1.j) 7. I can construct and interpret Punnett squares and pedigree charts (e.g., calculate and predict phenotypic and genotypic ratios and probablilities. (C.1.k) 8. I can infer the parental genotypes and phenotypes from offspring data presented in pedigree charts and from the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of offspring. (C.1.l) 9. I can describe the mode of inhereitance in commonly inherited desorders (e.g., sickle cell anemia, Down syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, PKU, etc.) (C.1.m) 10. I can cpmplete a major project relating to recombinant DNA, cloning, or stem cell research. (C.1.n) 11. I can describe the basic structure and function of DNA, RNA, tRNA, amino acids, polypeptides, and proteins. (C.1.a) 12. I can describe the processes of replication, transcription, and translation. (C.1.a) 13. I can describe the experiments of major scientists in determining both the structure of DNA and the central dogma. (C.1.b) 14. I can use mRNA codon charts to determine amino acid sequences of example polypeptides. (C.1.c) 15. I can use mRNA codon charts to determine the effects of different types of mutations on amino acid sequence and protein structure (e.g., sickle cell anemia resulting from base substitution mutation). (C.1.d) 16. I can describe how gene expression is regulated in organisms such that specific proteins are synthesized only when they are needed by the cell (e.g., cell specialization). (C.1.e)
