These are "prescribed learning outcomes" for BCs integrated science 10 course.
It is expected that students will:
• relate the genetic code to the assembly
of different proteins
• apply the principles that govern the
inheritance of traits to solve problems
involving simple Mendelian genetics
• summarize factors that may lead to different
types of mutations
• distinguish among positive, neutral, and
negative effects of various mutations
• analyse implications of current and emerging
biomedical, genetic, and reproductive
technologies current technologies is emphasized. Through models,
field trips, and laboratory activities, students gain an
understanding of basic genetic principles and their
applications.
• Ask students to research the positive, neutral, and
negative effects of mutations. Examples include
bacteria and antibiotics, insects and pesticides,
plants and herbicides, and natural variation.
• Use the phrase the dog saw the cat eat the rat to
illustrate the triplet nature of the base-paired coding
in the production of protein from amino acids. Each
letter represents one base pair. Each word has three
