BI2. d. Students know new combinations of alleles may be generated in a zygote through
the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization).
BI2. e. Students know why approximately half of an individual’s DNA sequence comes
from each parent.
BI2. f. Students know the role of chromosomes in determining an individual’s sex.
BI2. g. Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from the
genetic makeup of the parents.
BI3. A multicellular organism develops from a single zygote, and its phenotype
depends on its genotype, which is established at fertilization. As a basis for
understanding this concept:
BI3. a. Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic
cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance (autosomal or
X-linked, dominant or recessive).
BI3. b. Students know the genetic basis for Mendel’s laws of segregation and
independent assortment.

2. Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to
communicate and work collaboratively, including
at a distance, to support individual learning and
contribute to the learning of others.
a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers,
experts, or others employing a variety of digital
environments and media
b. Communicate information and ideas effectively
to multiple audiences using a variety of media
and formats
c. Develop cultural understanding and global
awareness by engaging with learners of
other cultures.
