Reproduction and Heredity

7.0 Recognize that every organism requires a set of instructins that specifies its
      traits.  These instructions are stored in the organism's chromosomes.  Heredity
      is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another.

8.0 Recognize that herediatary information is contained in genes located in the
      chromosomes of each cell.  A human cell contains about 30,000 different genes
      on 23 different chromosomes.

9.0 Compare sexual reproduction (offspring inherit half of their genes from each
      parent) with asexual reproduction (offspring is an identical copy of the
      parent's cell)
