Domain: Cells and Heredity
Mrs. C. Dinkins-Instructor
March 2009
Domain 1: Cells and Heredity


Overview of the Domain
Students describe the structures of cells and the structure and
function of their components.
o Students examine the similarities and differences between
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Students explain the process of inheritance of genetic traits.
o Students differentiate between DNA and RNA, recognizing the
role of each in heredity.
o Students demonstrate understanding of Mendel’s Laws in
genetic inheritance and variability.
o Students discuss the use of DNA technology in the fields of
medicine and agriculture.

Students analyze the similarities and differences between organisms
of different kingdoms.
Assessment of this domain focuses on
the following:
Describing the roles of
cell organelles in the
following:
• information feedback
• motility
• obtaining, storing, and
using energy
• protein construction
• reproduction
• transport of material
• waste disposal
Differentiating the functions
of the macromolecules:
•
•
•
•
carbohydrates
lipids
nucleic acids
proteins
• understanding the
relationships between
single-celled and multicelled organisms, on a
broad, conceptual level
• differentiating how organisms
from different kingdoms
obtain, transform, and
transport, energy and/or
material.
Inorganic vs. Organic Compounds

Water
 About
60-90% of an
organism is water
Water is used in
most reactions in
the body
Water is called
the universal
solvent

Taste sour
Examples:



citric acid (think lemons)
vinegar (5% acetic acid)
carbonic acid (for carbonation of pop)
stomach acid, sweat
Bases

detergents
soap
household ammonia
Blood (slightly)
Acids

Number of hydrogen ions in solutions is
greater than water
 HCl  H+ + Cl-
Bases

Number of hydroxide ions in solution is
greater than water
 NaOH  Na+ + OH-

Compares the
concentrations of
H+ ions
ranges from 0 to 14
7 is neutral (pure

The Cell Theory

The modern tenets of the Cell Theory include:
1. All known living things are made up of cells.
2. The cell is structural & functional unit of all living
things.
3. All cells come from pre-existing cells by division.
(Spontaneous Generation does not occur).
4. Cells contains hereditary information which is
passed from cell to cell during cell division.
5. All cells are basically the same in chemical
composition.
6. All energy flow (metabolism & biochemistry) of
life occurs within cells.
