SOUTH DAKOTA CORE SCIENCE STANDARDS

9-12.L.2.1. Students are able to predict inheritance patterns using a single allele.

• Solve problems involving simple dominance, co-dominance, and sex-linked traits using Punnett squares for F1 and F2 generations.

• Examples: color blindness, wavy hair

LIFE SCIENCE:Indicator 2: Analyze various patterns and products of natural and induced biological change.
