BIOLOGY CALENDAR
SEMESTER 2, WEEK 1
TOPICS: Intro to Genetics
NOTICE: DO ALL GENETICS WORKSHEETS IN PENCIL – IT IS VERY EASY TO MAKE MISTAKES
CA State Standards Covered This Week:
a. Students know new combinations of alleles may be generated in a zygote through the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization).
b. Students know why approximately half of an individual’s DNA sequence comes from each parent.
c. Students know the role of chromosomes in determining an individual’s sex.
d. Students know how to predict possible combinations of allele in a zygote from the genetic makeup of the parents.
e. Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of
inheritance (autosomal or X-linked; dominant or recessive)
f. Students know the genetic basis for Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment
USE PENCIL TO COMPLETE ALL GENETICS WORKSHEETS – IT IS VERY EASY TO MAKE MISTAKES
