300 How do DNA, gene, RNA, protein, and expressed characteristics relate?
300 How does probablility relate to Mendelian genetics?
300 What are the various modes of heredity?
300 What are the patterns for genetic problem solving?
400 1. Relationship of heredity and environment in determining characteristics
400 2. Gregor Mendel and his historical role
400 3. Mendel's initial crosses, using pea plants, leading to the four major Laws of Genetics
400 4. Basic genetic terms:  Phenotype, Genotype, Homozygous, Heterozygous, Allele
400 5. Genetic probability using Punnett Squares
400 6. Monohybrid and Dihybrid crosses
400 7. Modes of Heredity:  Autosomal, Linked, Sex-linked, Codominance, Incomplete Dominance, Polygenic, Multiple Allelic
400 8. Pedigree Charts
400 9. Discussion of a variety of human genetic disorders
500 Students will develop the ability to:
500 1. Appropriate use of genetic terms
500 2. Apply principles of genetics to determine the probable outcome of a variety of genetic      crosses; include all representative modes of heredity
500 3. Utilizing a pedigree chart, determine the genetic character of the family members
500 4. Relate meiosis and gamete combination to variation within a species
500 5. Discuss various genetic disorders and their development and heredity patterns
