Concept: Mendelian Genetics
3.1.12.B1: Explain gene inheritance and
expression at the molecular level.
3.1.12.B2: Evaluate the process of sexual
reproduction in influencing genetic
variability in a population
Concept: Inheritance/Human Genetics
3.1.12.B2: Evaluate the process of sexual
reproduction in influencing genetic variability
in a population.
3.1.12.B3: Analyze gene expression at the
molecular level. Explain the impact of
environmental factors on gene expression.
Lesson Essential Questions:
-What is the relationship between genotypes
and phenotypes?

or structurally altered chromosome lead to
genetic disorders?
