Introduction to Heredity
Students will define key genetic terms and explore the basic principles of inheritance.
Key Questions
- Explain why certain traits skip generations while others appear consistently.
- Differentiate between genotype and phenotype in genetic inheritance.
- Analyze how dominant and recessive alleles interact to produce observable traits.
