Unit H: Heredity and Reproduction
Standards Addressed During
Unit
Overview
Students Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits,
that this hereditary information (DNA) contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that
heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another. Students will be able to
compare and contrast the general processes of sexual and asexual reproduction. Students will connect
their learning to societal issues and biotechnology. They learn that science provides an understanding of
the natural world by giving meaning through the shared exchange and progression of knowledge. Students
study the nature of science by focusing on the practice of science as they are actively engaged in
laboratory investigations.
Fundamental Skills:
 Background of scientific knowledge and thinking
 Familiarity with cells and characteristics of organisms
Science laboratory safety practices including an SDS.

Standards
SC.7.N.1.1
Coherence
In the grade prior students…
o Reproduction in flowering plants (pollination, fertilization, seed dispersal,
germination)
o Characteristics of plants and animals are inherited vs. characteristics due to
environment
o Behaviors are inherited and learned
o Major stages in life cycles in Florida
 Complete/incomplete metamorphosis
o Flowering/non-flowering seed bearing plants
Compare and contrast the structure and function of major organelles of
plant and animal cells, including cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus,
cytoplasm, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles.
Not addressed in 5th
In the future grades students will…
 Use Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze
patterns of inheritance.
 Discuss observed inheritance patterns caused by various modes of
inheritance, including dominant, recessive, codominant, sex-linked, polygenic,
and multiple alleles.
 Describe the basic process of DNA replication and how it relates to the
transmission and conservation of the genetic information.
 Explain how mutations in the DNA sequence may or may not result in
phenotypic change. Explain how mutations in gametes may result in
phenotypic changes in offspring.
 Explain the basic processes of transcription and translation, and how they
result in the expression of genes.
Unpacking the Standards: What do we want students to Know, Understand and Do (KUD)
The purpose of creating a Know, Understand, and Do Map (KUD) is to further the unwrapping of a standard to assist PLCs in answering question #1, “What do we expect all students to
learn?” It is important for PLCs to study the standards in the unit to ensure that all members have a mutual understanding of what student learning will look and sound like when the
standards are achieved. Additionally, collectively unwrapping the standard will help with the creation of the uni-dimensional scale (for use with students). When creating a KUD, it is
important to consider the standard under study within a K-12 progression and identify the prerequisite skills that are essential for mastery.
Unit H: Heredity and Reproduction
How are inherited traits passed on and predicted?
Standards: SC.7.L.16.1 Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA) contains
genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another.
SC.7.L.16.2 Determine the probabilities for genotype and phenotype combinations using Punnett Squares and pedigrees
SC.7.L.16.3 Compare and contrast the general processes of sexual reproduction requiring meiosis and asexual reproduction requiring mitosis.
SC.7.L.16.4 Recognize and explore the impact of biotechnology (cloning, genetic engineering, artificial selection) on the individual, society and the environment.
