Unit 6 – Patterns of Inheritance
Remember…
 I can connect two or more targets together into one cohesive idea or explanation.
 I can recall lab/activity concepts, skills, and results from this unit as specific examples of the targets.
 I can use the BioThemes to connect the content and labs/activities in a detailed and reflective manner.
TARGET
6.1
I can distinguish between and am able to apply the following concepts:
gene, trait, alleles, dominant allele, recessive allele, genotype, phenotype,
homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, heterozygous.
6.2
I can determine the phenotype of an individual from their genotype and vice versa.
6.3
I can use a Punnett square to predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of
offspring for the following patterns of inheritance:
a. monohybrid crosses showing complete dominance
b. monohybrid crosses showing incomplete dominance
c. dihybrid crosses
d. multiple alleles
e. sex-linked traits
6.4
I can provide examples of traits that illustrate each of the following patterns of
inheritance:
a. complete dominance
b. incomplete dominance
c. multiple alleles
d. sex-linked traits
e. polygenic traits
6.5
I can work backward from a Punnett square to determine a parent’s genotype if
given an offspring’s genotype.
6.6
I can compare and contrast the processes of meiosis and mitosis, and explain that
each process serves a different purpose.
6.7
I can explain how meiosis results in genetic variation/diversity while mitosis
maintains continuity.
6.8
I can explain how a single diploid (2n) cell forms four haploid (n) gametes
through the process of meiosis.
6.9
I can differentiate between homologous pairs of chromosomes (tetrad) and
sister chromatids.
6.10
I can explain the key events of each of the stages of meiosis (Meiosis I and
Meiosis II), including when crossing-over occurs.
6.11
I can explain how the events in meiosis illustrate Mendel’s law of segregation and
law of independent assortment.
6.12
I can create and interpret a pedigree for an autosomal trait and a sex-linked trait,
and compare how the pedigrees differ.
6.13
I can explain how nondisjunction (in anaphase I or anaphase II) during meiosis
can result in chromosomal disorders such as monosomy or trisomy.
6.14
I can distinguish between autosomes and sex chromosomes, and explain how
chromosomes determine gender.
6.15
I can create and analyze a karyotype and explain how it can be used to diagnose
autosomal and sex chromosome genetic disorders.
