 * Students will learn to do Punnett squares and predict the outcomes of genetic crosses.*
 * Students will consider complex inheritance patterns including incomplete dominance, codominance, sex linkage, multiple allelism, and polygenic inheritance.*
 * Students will examine human traits that follow Mendelian or complex patterns of inheritance.*
 * Students will consider the inheritance of genetic diseases including Tay Sachs, Cystic fibrosis, Sickle-cell anemia, PKU, and hemophelia.*
 * Students will learn to use pedigrees to analyze inheritance of human traits.*
