(7) The student applies the principles of molecular genetics and heredity. The student is expected to:
(A) explain Mendel’s laws of inheritance by predicting genotypes and phenotypes of offspring using the Punnett square;
(B) explain the inheritance of sex-linked characteristics and provide some examples found in animals;
(C) identify and compare the three parts of nucleic acids;
(D) explain the functions of nucleic acids;
(E) describe how heredity is used in the selection of livestock; and
(F) explain how traits are passed from parent to offspring through genetic transfer and the implications of breeding practices.
