Bio 30 Outcome Checklist
Unit 5b: Classical Genetics
Knowledge
_____ I can describe the evidence Mendel obtained for dominance,
segregation, and the independent assortment of genes on different
chromosomes.
_____ I can summarize Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent
assortment
_____ I can calculate & compare ratios and probabilities of genotypes
and phenotypes for genetic crosses with the following inheritance
patterns:
_____ Dominant / Recessive
_____ Testcrosses
_____ Multiple Dominance / Multiple Alleles
_____ Incomplete Dominance
_____ Codominance
_____ Sex-Linked (Morgan)
_____ Dihybrid / multihybrid
_____ I can use / interpret pedigrees which graphically illustrate the
inheritance patterns above.
_____ I can explain the effect that gene linkage and crossing over
have on the variability of organisms.
_____ I can determine map distances of linked genes based on
recombination frequencies or based on number of recombinant
offspring
_____ I understand that traits can be controlled by one pair of genes
(Rh factor), or they may be polygenic meaning they are controlled by
many genes (ex. skin colour, height)
Science, Technology, and Society
_____ I can explain that decisions regarding the application of science
and technological development involve social, cultural, environmental,
ethical, and economic considerations. Examples of these technologies
include:
• Genetic counseling & technology for the identification and
treatment of genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis,
phenylketonuria)
• Use of genetic crosses to develop specific plant hybrids (wheat,
corn etc)
