Standard 7.6 Examines adaptations of organisms over time
In our genetics unit, we will explore the structure of DNA and the process by which traits are determined. We will also look at inheritance patterns from generation to generation and explore probabilities for specific trait inheritance. We will explore both natural selection and artificial selection of organisms' traits. This leads us to look at the relationship between traits and the likelihood for survival of organisms in a specific environment.
