 * Objective: || explain the basic rules and processes associated with the transmission of genetic

How is DNA responsible for the production of proteins? How has knowledge of the molecular nature of genes and DNA led to new biotechnologies and the treatment of genetic disorders? ||
 * Focusing Questions || What regulates the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next?

[] ||
 * 30–C2.1k || describe the evidence for dominance, segregation and the independent assortment of genes
 * 30–C2.2k || compare ratios and probabilities of genotypes and phenotypes for dominant and recessive,
 * 30–C2.3k || explain the influence of gene linkage and crossing over on variability
 * 30–C2.4k || explain the relationship between variability and the number of genes controlling a trait;
 * 30–C2.5k || compare the pattern of inheritance produced by genes on the sex chromosomes to that

Resources: Genetics PPT Learning Activities:
 * 1) Genetics problems in text and in assignment booklet
 * 2) Research a variety of human genetic disorders to determine their mode of inheritance.
