CHAPTER 6
TARGET
- compares body cells and gametes, and introduces meiosis.
- Recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual reproduction.
- Recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual reproduction.
- Introduces Mendel’s genetic research, which revealed patterns of inheritance.
- Explain how genes influence the development of traits and how a single gene can have multiple versions.
- Describes monohybrid crosses, as well as how patterns in heredity can be calculated using mathematics.

CHAPTER 7
TARGET
- The chromosomes on which genes are located can affect the expression of traits.
- Explains the non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.
- Describes the discovery of gene linkage and how linkage maps can be used to estimate distances between genes.
- Explain inheritance patterns in humans and describe how pedigrees and chromosome mapping are used in genetics
