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 offspring’s 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
