Students will model meiosis using manipulatives to illustrate that new genetic combination form through meiosis via crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes. Students will research how environmental factors lead to DNA mutations, and how those mutations may or may not be passed onto offspring. Students will construct explanations on how errors in replication lead to mutations in DNA and lead to variation among organisms. Students will construct explanations on how the cell cycle ensures fidelity of information from the replication stage through Mitosis. Students will demonstrate understanding of DNA and replication by building a model and defend a claim that DNA is the heritable genetic information.
