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)
