BIO.8 — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
S.7.13.D
describe and give examples of how natural and artificial selection change the occurrence of traits in a population over generations.
BIO.8
Science concepts--mechanisms of genetics. The student knows the role of nucleic acids and the principles of inheritance and variation of traits in Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics. The student is expected to:
BIO.10.A
analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations and not in individuals;
BIO.10.B
analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproductive success;
BIO.10.C
analyze and evaluate how natural selection may lead to speciation; and
BIO.10.D
analyze evolutionary mechanisms other than natural selection, including genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and genetic recombination, and their effect on the gene pool of a population.
