Introduction to Genetics and Patterns of Inheritance

Biology

Quarter 3

McGraw Hill Module 10 & 11

BIO.3.4 ​ - Plan and carry out an investigation and use computational thinking to explain the variation and patterns in distribution of traits as it relates to both genetic and environmental influences on the expression of those traits. ​ Examples of variation and patterns in distribution of traits could include sickle-cell anemia and malaria, hemoglobin levels in humans at high elevation, or antibiotic resistance (LS3.B).

● I can identify variations of traits and patterns in distribution to include: ○ Multiple alleles

○ Epistasis ○ Dosage

compensation ○ Polygenic Traits ○ Environmental influences
