UNIT 7: HEREDITY
Big Idea #3: Living Systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes.
- 3A.2: In eukaryotes, heritable information is passed to the next generation via processes that include the cell cycle and mitosis or meiosis plus fertilization.
- 3A.3 The chromosomal basis of inheritance provides an understanding of the pattern of passage (transmission) of genes from parent to offspring.
- 3A.4 The inheritance pattern of many traits cannot be explained by simple Mendelian genetics.
- 3C.1 Changes in genotype can result in changes in phenotype. (also see Unit 2 and Unit 8)
- 3C.2 Biological systems have multiple processes that increase genetic variation. (also see Unit 8)
