Grade 11 Subject: Biology Prepared By: Rene Spain

Level:

Overview & Purpose Education Standards Addressed

What will be learned and why it is useful?
Which traits are dominant and recessive and what their genotypes are.
The Understanding of how traits are inherited.
What TEKS standards that this lesson satisfies. You must
list them here. TEK 6 Science concepts- the student know
the mechanisms of genetics such as the role of nucleic
acids and the principles of Mendelian genetics. The student
is expected to: (A) Identify components of DNA, identify how
information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried
in the DNA, and examine scientific explanations for the
origin of DNA.
