CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS
2008 Ontario Science Curriculum- Grade 11 University Biology, Genetic Processes
The following Overall Expectations and Specific Expectations are what is covered in the lesson sequence designed to teach Mendelian Genetics.
Overall Expectations
• D1: Evaluate the importance of some recent contributions to our knowledge of genetic processes, and analyze social and ethical implications of genetic and genomic research.
• D2: Investigate genetic processes, including those that occur during meiosis, and analyse data to solve basic genetics problems involving monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
• D3: Demonstrate an understanding of concepts, processes, and technologies related to the transmission of hereditary characteristics.
• D2: Investigate genetic processes, including those that occur during meiosis, and analyse data to solve basic genetics problems involving monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
• D3: Demonstrate an understanding of concepts, processes, and technologies related to the transmission of hereditary characteristics.
Specific Expectations
· D1.1: Analyse, on the basis of research, some of the societal and ethical implications of research in genetics and genomics.
· D1.2: Evaluate, on the basis of research, the importance of some recent contributions to knowledge, techniques, and technologies related to genetic processes.
· D2.1: Use appropriate terminology related to genetic processes.
· D2.3: Use the Punnett square method to solve basic genetics problems involving monohybrid crosses, incomplete dominance, codominance, dihybrid crosses, and sex-linked genes.
· D2.4: Investigate, through laboratory inquiry or computer simulation, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, and use the Punnett square method and probability rules to analyse the qualitative and quantitative data and determine the parent genotype.
· D3.3: Explain the concepts of genotype, phenotype, dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, recessiveness, and sex-linkage according to Mendelian laws of inheritance.
· D3.4: Describe some genetic disorders caused by chromosomal abnormalities or other genetic mutations in terms of chromosomes affected, physical effects, and treatments.
· D3.5: Describe some reproductive technologies and explain how their use can increase the genetic diversity of a species.
