Chapter 11
Introduction: Mendel and the Gene Idea
Learning Objectives:
3.A.1: DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information.
3.A.3: The chromosomal basis of inheritance provides an understanding of the pattern of passage (transmission) of genes from parent to offspring.
3.A.4: The inheritance pattern of many traits cannot be explained by simple Mendelian genetics.
3.C.1: Changes in genotype can result in changes in phenotype.


Test Your Understanding
Textbook page 234, #1-10
Complete in notes.
As you complete test, mark questions with:
a star (I know this),
a checkmark (I might know this),
or a question mark (I don't know, I guessed).
Self-correct.
Write validations/corrections for checkmarks, question marks, and missed stars (oops).
Watch video.
Take notes.

Scientific Skills Exercise:
Making a histogram and analyzing a distribution pattern
What is the distribution of phenotypes among offspring of two parents who are both heterozygous for three additive genes?
