Standards:
-HS-LS3-2: Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occuring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors. -SCHS-S4C2-O3: Explain how genetic variation occurs and results in phenotypic diversity. -HS-LS3-3: Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. -SCHS-S4C2-O4: Describe how meiosis and fertilization maintain genetic diversity. -RST.9-10.9: Synthesize information from a range of sources into a coherent understanding of a process, phenomena, or concept, resolving conflicting information when possible. -MP.2 : Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
