• Essential Understandings/Learning Goals
• The genetic information in most organisms is
  carried in DNA molecules, and there are
• differences among genomes of different
  species
• Heritable characteristics can result from new
  combinations of existing genes or from mutations
• of genes in reproductive cells
• Multicellular organisms develop from a single
  zygote. Its phenotype depends on the genotype
• that was established at fertilization
• DNA can change (mutations) in germ cells.
  These changes are passed to offspring and may
• affect the offsprings success in its
  environment
• Modern molecular biology allows scientists to
  analyze, isolate and alter genes, and this
  ability
• helps in the analysis and treatment of
  certain diseases
• The principles of genetics and cellular
  chemistry are used to produce new foods and
  medicines
• in biotechnological processes
• There are different types of asexual and sexual
  reproduction. Mendel developed laws
• (segregation and independent assortment) of
  heredity
