Recognize that all organisms have a substance called DNA with unique information.
Number: SC.912.L.16.Su.2
Category: Supported
Standard: Heredity and Reproduction :
A. DNA stores and transmits genetic
information. Genes are sets of instructions
encoded in the structure of DNA.
Date Adopted or Revised: 02/08
B. Genetic information is passed from
generation to generation by DNA in all
organisms and accounts for similarities in
related individuals.
C. Manipulation of DNA in organisms has led
to commercial production of biological
molecules on a large scale and genetically
modified organisms.
D. Reproduction is characteristic of living
things and is essential for the survival of
species.

Describe the basic process of DNA replication and how it
relates to the transmission and conservation of the genetic
information.
Remarks/Examples:
Integrate HE.912.C.1.7. Analyze how heredity and family
history can impact personal health. Annually assessed on
Biology EOC. Also assesses SC.912.L.16.4 SC.912.L.16.5

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.
Explain how and why the genetic code is universal and is
common to almost all organisms.

Name
Description
This is a lab/activity that uses
dragons as "research subjects"
for genetics research. It
highlights independent
assortment as well as gene
linkage. Students will do the
first part of the activity using
independent assortment (genes
on different chromosomes).
Dragon Genetics -- Independent Assortment and Gene Linkage : The second part of the activity
looks at genes on the same
chromosome, and how linkage
plays a part in allele
assortment. It can be used to
show how crossing over
allows increased variation
when involving linked genes.
Worksheets are available in
both Word and PDF formats,
for both teacher and student.
There is an additional dragon
genetics lab that illustrates the
principles of Mendelian
genetics as a whole.

Personal DNA Testing:
Description
A lesson with multi-media components from PBS/NOVA that
focuses on DNA testing, including techniques, purposes, and
considerations for biotechnology and human decisions
regarding health. Students will learn about single nucleotide
polymorphisms, how they are used in science, and how they are
being used in the medical field. Students will apply this
knowledge by looking at a mock data set and probabilities to
inform medical recommendations.
