D. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
d3.1 explain the phases in the process of meiosis in terms of cell division, the movement of chromosomes, and crossing over of genetic material
d3.2 explain the concepts of DNA, genes, chromosomes, alleles, mitosis, and meiosis, and how they account for the transmission of her- editary characteristics according to Mendelian laws of inheritance
d3.3 explain the concepts of genotype, pheno- type, dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, recessiveness, and sex linkage ac- cording to Mendelian laws of inheritance
d3.4 describe some genetic disorders caused by chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., non-disjunction of chromosomes during meiosis) or other genetic mutations in terms of chromosomes affected, physical effects, and treatments
d3.5 describe some reproductive technologies (e.g., cloning, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, recombinant DNA), and explain how their use can increase the genetic diversity of a species (e.g., farm animals, crops)
