DNA & Genetics Study Resources
Unit Outcomes
- Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles)
- Describe the processes that can alter composition or number of chromosomes (crossing-over, nondisjunction, duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion, and inversion)
- Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.
- Describe the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus. and the nucleus in the production of specific types of proteins.
- Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (silent, nonsense, frame-shift)
- Explain how genetic engineering has impacted the fields of medicine, forensics, and agriculture (selective breeding, gene splicing, cloning, genetically modified organisms, gene therapy)
