GENETICS Learning Targets (test = 3/8/16)
Knowledge Targets (Things you should know):
Mendel
 I can describe Mendel’s experiment, including his conclusion.
 I can identify the P, F1, and F2 Generations in a Pedigree (family tree).
 I can remember the meaning of “One Gene, One Protein.”
 I can identify simple dominance and recessive through the use of the principle of
dominance.
Advanced (Beyond Mendel)
 I can Identify traits inherited by incomplete dominance by description and
notation.
 I can Identify traits inherited by codominance by description and notation.
 I can Identify traits that have multiple alleles by description and notation.
 I can identify sex linked traits by description and notation.
 I can list the different types of mutations.
Understand Targets (Things you should be able to explain):
Mendel
 I can use a punnett square to determine the potential offspring of two
individuals.
 I can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from two hybrid
parents.
 I can explain the relationship between alleles and genes.
 I can explain the Law of Independent Assortment.
 I can explain the Law of Segregation.
 I can explain how in simple dominance, one gene codes for one protein/trait.
 I can explain the difference between genotype and phenotype.
Advanced (Beyond Mendel)
 I can explain how the different inheritance patterns (incomplete, codominance,
multiple alleles, sex-linked) influence a trait.
 I can explain how each of the different types of mutations occur.
 I can explain how a gene is regulated
Product Targets (Things you should be able to make):
 Given enough background information, I can create a pedigree chart for a family.
Performance Targets (Things you should be able to demonstrate):
 I can use a punnett square to predict the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of a
monohybrid cross.
 I can use a punnett square OR the forkline method to predict the phenotypic and
genotypic ratio of a dihybrid cross.
 I can use a pedigree chart to determine which inheritance pattern(Simple
dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, sex-linked) a
gene is inherited through.
 Given a DNA sequence, I can identify what mutation has occurred – if given the
original correct strand as a reference.
