PATTERNS OF INHERITANCE
LEARNING
INTENTIONS
Science Understanding / Biological
sciences / Year 10
The transmission of heritable characteristics
from one generation to the next involves DNA
and genes (ACSSU184)
Learning Intentions
Students will be able to:
• describe the structure and function of DNA, genes
and chromosomes
• understand that genetics and the environment
define traits
• predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes
resulting from single gene (monogenic) crosses
• explain why combining class data makes the data
more reliable
• make predictions
• identify patterns in findings
• develop and justify conclusions
• explain how to increase the reliability of their data.
