The learner explores the structure and function of the nucleic acids and enzymes important to the process of synthesizing proteins.

Learners compare a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes to determine similarities and differences among and between them.

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.

Learners analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

Biology Kid2Kid videos present biology concepts taught to a student by a student. This resource contains videos that explain monohybrid crosses in both English and Spanish.

This resource, aligned with Chemistry TEKS (5)(C), provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options for students using the periodic table to identify and explain trends.

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

Given scenarios, illustrations or descriptions, the student will describe how long-term survival of species is dependent on changing resource bases that are limited.

Given illustrations or descriptions, students will predict the shape of molecules based upon the extent of the electron pair electrostatic repulsion.

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.

Given descriptions, diagrams, or scenarios, students will write and name the chemical formulas of binary covalent compounds.

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model ionic bonds using electron dot formulas.

Given descriptions or chemical formula of a substance, students will use the concept of a mole to relate atomic mass to molar mass.

Given scenarios, graphs, diagrams, or illustrations, the student will determine the type of solution such as saturated, supersaturated, or unsaturated.

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.
