BIO 3.2 - Use computational thinking ​ and ​ patterns ​ to make predictions about the expression of specific traits that are passed in genes on chromosomes from parents to offspring. ​ Emphasize that various inheritance patterns can be predicted by observing the way genes are expressed. Examples of tools to make predictions could include Punnett squares, pedigrees, or karyotypes. Examples of allele crosses could include dominant/recessive, incomplete dominant, codominant, or sex-linked alleles. (LS3.A) BIO 3.3 - Engage in argument from evidence ​ that inheritable genetic variation is ​ caused ​ during the formation of gametes. Emphasize that genetic variation may be caused by epigenetics, during meiosis from new genetic combinations, or viable mutations. (LS3.B)

● I can compare and contrast:

○ genotype/phenotype ○ dominant/recessive ○ homozygous/heterozy gous ● I can predict the frequency of traits being passed to offspring using monohybrid punnett squares ● I can identify different inheritance patterns: ○ Dominant/recessive ○ Incomplete dominance ○ Codominance ○ Sex-linked traits ● I can analyze pedigree charts to determine the type of inheritance of a trait ● I can complete and interpret dihybrid crosses ● I can explain how genetic mutations lead to new phenotypes
