(Skills)

By the end of this unit, the student

will know:

Punnett squares can be

used to predict the
offspring of a genetic
cross. (SB2c).
Exceptions to Mendels
law such as incomplete
dominance, sex-linked
traits, and codominance. (SB2c)
Phases of Meiosis.(SB2c)

By the end of this unit, the student

will understand:
The laws of genetics put forth
by Gregor Mendel explain
genetic variability.
