WEEK 11 - NOVEMBER 11-14, 2019
Gizmo - Inheritance @ www.explorelearning.com
Students will ...
- compare the results of sexual and asexual reproduction
- distinguish between traits that are determined by genes and those that are acquired
- understand that acquired traits are not passed on to offspring
- observe different types of inheritance (dominant traits / recessive traits)
