 * 1) Students will understand how DNA encodes information and how that set of information(genotype) can then direct the structural and functional characteristics(phenotype) of the organism. //(CASS // Life Science //3 a, b, c, d) //
 * 2) Students will understand the role genes play in how a multicellular organism develops from a single cell zygote. //(CASS Life Science 4 a, b, c, d) //
 * 3) Students will understand and recognize examples of how the environment influences gene expression. //(CASS Life Science 4d) //
 * 4) Students will understand that mutation and sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation in a population. //(CASS Life Science 2a, b, c d; 3a, b, c; 4c) // Students will, therefore, understand themselves as being genetically unique. (even identical twins have some cells with unique mutations)
 * 5) Students will understand the role of chromosomes in inheritance. //(CASS Life Science2 c, d,e,f) //
 * 6) Students will understand how genes can be manipulated by humans and how important ethical considerations need to be addressed in doing so. //(CASS Life Science 5 a, b, c, d, e) (Grad-at-Grad // //Committed to Justice) //
