Ch+12&13+Molecular+Genetics

= GSE SB2: =  new genetic combinations through meiosis (crossing over, non-disjunction);  non-lethal errors occurring during replication (insertions, deletions, substitutions); and/or  heritable mutations caused by environmental factors (radiation, chemicals, and viruses) (**Clarification statement:** The element is intended to include advancements in technology relating to economics and society such as advancements may include Genetically Modified Organisms.)
 * Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to analyze how genetic information is expressed in cells.**
 * a.** Construct an explanation of how the structures of DNA and RNA lead to the expression of information within the cell via the processes of replication, transcription, and translation.
 * b.** Construct an argument based on evidence to support the claim that inheritable genetic variations may result from:
 * c.** Ask questions to gather and communicate information about the use and ethical considerations of biotechnology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture.

= Learning Targets: =
 * 1) I can describe the structure of DNA and RNA.
 * 2) I can compare and contrast DNA and RNA
 * 3) I can explain the three ways in which the genetic information is transferred by DNA: (a) Replication (b) Transcription (c) Translation
 * 4) I can identify different types of mutations and how it affects protein synthesis, cause diseases and may result in new traits.
 * 5) I can outline the uses of DNA technology in forensics, medicine, and agriculture
