Year 10 Science
Unit 1: Genetics and Evolution
LEARNING GOALS and SUCCESS CRITERIA
LG1 I understand the role of DNA as the blueprint for controlling the characteristics of organisms
SC1 I can explain the following terms: DNA, chromosome, gene, trait, heredity, karyotype
SC2 I can describe the double helical structure of DNA and construct a model
SC3 I can explain the role of DNA in living things
SC4 I can measure and evaluate patterns of inheritance (experiment)
SC5 I can explain the following terms: gametes, sex cells, sperm, ova, fertilisation, zygote, embryo,
mitosis
SC6 I can describe how genetic information is passed on to offspring from both parents by meiosis
SC7 I can Investigate the extraction of DNA (from cheek cells and fruit)
LG2 I can use models and diagrams to represent the relationship between DNA, genes and
chromosomes
SC8 I can explain the following terms: punnet square, genotype, phenotype, recessive allele, dominant
allele, offspring, homozygous, purebred, heterozygous, hybrid, monohybrid
SC9 I can draw punnet squares for monohybrid crosses to predict genotypes & phenotypes of offspring
and analyse inheritance patterns to predict parent genotypes & phenotypes (ie do in reverse)
SC10 I can analyse inheritance patterns to predict genotypes & phenotypes of parents
SC11 I can explain the following terms: co-dominance, sex linked, dihybrid (HOT)
SC12 I can draw punnet squares for dihybrid crosses to predict genotypes & phenotypes of offspring and
analyse inheritance patterns to predict parent genotypes & phenotypes (HOT)
SC13 I can draw punnet squares to predict genotypes and phenotypes of co-dominant inheritance (blood
groups) (HOT)
SC14 I can predict genotype and phenotype outcomes of sex linked inheritance crosses using punnet
squares (HOT)
SC15 I can explain the following terms: pedigree chart,
SC16 I can explain the symbols of, and analyse a pedigree chart
SC17 I can draw a pedigree chart from given information for a trait.
SC18 I can explain (and draw) the symbols of, and analyse a pedigree chart for a sex-linked trait (HOT)
LG3 I can describe mutations as changes in DNA or chromosomes and outline the factors that
contribute to causing mutations
SC19 I can define mutation
SC20 I can identify at least 2 factors that cause mutations and the effect these may have on living things
LG4 I can understand how the theory of evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of living
things
SC21 I can explain the following: evolution, natural selection, species, variation, isolation, biodiversity
SC22 I can explain the processes involved in natural selection including variation, isolation, adaptation
and selection.
SC23 I can recognise that biodiversity is a result of evolutionary processes.
SC24 I can investigate changes caused by natural selection in a particular population as a result of a
particular selection pressure eg peppered moth, simulation activities
SC25 I can describe and give 2 examples of how genetic characteristic affect survival and reproductive
rates can justify how a change in genetic information and the process of natural selection can lead
to the evolution of new species
SC26 I can evaluate and interpret evidence for evolution - including the fossil record, DNA profile,
embryonic and anatomical similarities, and geographical distribution of species.
