3. I can identify the sources of variations within a gene pool.

5.I can explain how mutations can affect an organism and why it is the source of

new alleles and thus create genetic change and evolution.

6. I can differentiate the difference between gametic and somatic mutations. 

7. I can describe and explain the process of meiosis and how it results in greater variation than asexual reproduction.

8. I can explain how independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization causes the increase variation in sexual reproduction. 

9. I can explain how crossing over results in the recombination of chromosomes in the gametes.  

11. I can use a Punnett square to predict the results of a cross with given ratios in

a monohybrid cross.

13. I can define the term test cross and explain how it can be used to determine an

unknown genotype.

14. I can use a pedigree chart to identify probably genotype or phenotype. 

15. I can describe and explain incomplete dominance.

16. I can describe and explain co-dominance. 

17. I can describe and explain multiple alleles. 

18. I can describe and explain lethal alleles. 

To revise the material that was covered during remote learning, we did a Rotation Station activity. There were 5 stations with a beginner and expert activities. Students worked in groups to complete the activities then moved onto the next station. 

If you were away during this lesson, feel free to use this time to either answer the Rotation Station questions on your own OR catch up/revise lessons #1-9.
