Students:  a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media  b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats  d. Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.
 * NETS: **

 3. Research and Information Fluency  Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students:  b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media  c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.

 5. Digital Citizenship  Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. Students:  a. advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology.  b. exhibits a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity.  c. demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> d. exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 6. Technology Operations and Concepts. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> a. understand and use technology systems <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> b. select and use applications effectively and productively.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 3.1.B.B1: Explain that the information passed from parents to offspring is transmitted by means of genes which are coded in DNA molecules. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Explain the basic process of DNA replication. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Describe the basic processes of transcription and translation. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Explain how crossing over, jumping genes, and deletion and duplication of genes results in genetic variation <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Explain how mutations can alter genetic information and the possible consequences on resultant cells.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 3.1.B.B2: Describe how the process of meiosis results in the formation of haploid gametes and analyze the importance of meiosis in sexual reproduction. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Explain how the process of DNA replication results in the transmission and conservation of the genetic code. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Illustrate that the sorting and recombining of genes in sexual reproduction results in a great variety of possible gene combinations in offspring. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Describe how transmission and translation result in gene expression.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 3.1.B.B5: Describe how Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment can be observed through patterns of inheritance. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Distinguish among observed inheritance patterns caused by several types of genetic traits (dominant, recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked, polygenic, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles)
