Learners calculate the probability of genotypic inheritance and phenotypic expression using mono- and dihybrid crosses.

Learners analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms.

Given examples of circles and the lines that intersect them, the student will use explorations and concrete models to formulate and test conjectures about the properties of and relationships among the resulting angles.

Given problem situations involving similar figures, the student will use ratios to solve the problems.

Given examples, descriptions, and illustrations, students will be able to describe the role of DNA, RNA, and environmental factors in cell differentiation.

Given investigation scenarios, students will determine the equipment that best fits the procedure.

Given descriptions or illustrations, students will identify where fermentation occurs and the results of fermentation.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will identify disruptions of the cell cycle that lead to diseases such as cancer.

Given illustrations or partial DNA sequences, students will identify changes in DNA and the significance of these changes.

Given examples, students will recognize the importance of taxonomy to the scientific community.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will determine the classification of organisms into domains and kingdoms.
