4.4 apply the principles of Mendelian inheritance to make predictions about offspring.
4.5 examine modes of inheritance involving sex linkage, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, and polygenic traits
4.6 investigate the causes and effects of mutations
4.7 identify the causes and effects of genetic disorders in plants and animals
Level 1
Identify dominant and recessive traits, given the results of a monohybrid cross in a scenario
Determine the genotype and phonotype of a monohybrid cross, given a Punnett square
Level 2
Identify the sex chromosomes in humans and recognize inheritance patterns that are sex-linked (x-linked), using a pedigree or Punnett Squares
