Curriculur Outcomes

Biology 30

Unit 2: Reproduction and Development

Concept 3 - Cell differentiation and development in the human organism are regulated by a combination of genetic, endocrine and environmental influences.

    • tracing the processes of fertilization, implantation, extraembryonic membrane formation (e.g., amnion, chorion, yolk sac, placenta), embryo development, parturition and lactation, and the control mechanisms of those events; e.g., progesterone, LH, chorionic gonadotropin, oxytocin, prolactin

    • understanding how development from conception is regulated by genetics, hormones and environment; and describing these developmental events and the technologies that
      influence them; and by observing slides, models or computer simulations of nonhuman embryo development, investigating environmental influences on the embryo/fetus and assessing safety reproductive technology, within the context of:

      - discussing how knowledge of embryo/fetus development has influenced society’s values on human life.

Unit 3: Cell, Chromosomes and DNA

Concept 1 - Cells divide to increase in number but must reduce their chromosome number before combining at fertilization.

    • understanding that mitosis results in cell division and genetic continuity, and meiosis results in gamete formation and genetic variation; and by observing actively dividing cells, performing meiosis simulations and researching reproductive strategies in plants and animals, within the context of:

      - discussing the role of mitosis and biotechnology in regenerating damaged or
      missing parts of organisms

Concept 3 - Classical genetics can be explained at a molecular level.

    • understanding how DNA structure and function can explain classical genetics; and explaining DNA manipulation, mutations and DNA evidence for organism relationships; and by predicting gene sequences; designing and constructing DNA models; performing experiments to demonstrate DNA expression; and analyzing and inferring the relationship between human activities and mutations, within the context of:

      - debating the societal and scientific definitions of life and the living condition
