Unit 10: Biotechnology
Six Weeks: 5
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Biology TEKS:
(6) Science concepts. The student knows the mechanisms of genetics, including the
role of nucleic acids and the principles of Mendelian Genetics. The student is expected
to:
6(H) describe how techniques such as DNA
STAAR Biology-2(S);
fingerprinting, genetic modifications, and chromosomal
Bloom’s Taxonomy-3
analysis are used to study the genomes of organisms.
STAAR Biology Reporting Categories
1: Cell Structure and Function
2: Mechanisms of Genetics
3: Biological Evolution and Classification
4: Biological Processes and Systems
5: Interdependence within Environmental Systems
(R)= Readiness Standard (S)= Supporting Standard

Unit 10 Focus- Biotechnology
Biotechnology demonstrates how modern medicine and industry use biological
phenomenon for human use. The study of the genomes of organisms is investigated.
Enduring Understanding(s):
 Biotechnology uses technology to manipulate cells or cell products.
Essential Questions:

Concept Connection Questions; Connect Biotechnology To…
To Ecology:
Why would the study of the genomes of diseasecausing organisms be useful?
To Biodiversity:
How do slight changes in DNA fingerprints
indicate possible ancestry?
To Converting Energy:
Energy conversion allows for the production of
new genes. How does the ability of a cell to
produce a genetic fingerprint relate to energy
conversion?
To Reproduction:
How does a karyotype relate to the concept of
mitosis?
To Taxonomy:
How could genetic engineering affect how
organisms might be classified?
To Making Proteins:
The cytoplasm is where proteins are made. How
will proteins be different according to the types of
genes in a genome?
To Cells:
How does the structure of cells enable scientists
to study the genomes of organisms?
To Genetics:
How does genetic engineering affect the process
of inheritance?
