Life Science: Growth, Development, and Reproduction of Organisms

• 3.1.6-8.M Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins

• 3.1.6-8N Emphasis is on using models such as Punnett squares, diagrams, and simulations to describe the cause and effect relationship of gene transmission from parent(s) to offspring and resulting genetic variation.
