Cell Reproduction
TEKS 7.14 Organisms and environments. The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to: (A) define heredity as the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation; (B) compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction; and (C) recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in the genes within chromosomes in the nucleus.

Remember, progress reports grade cut off is Tuesday after school. By the end of day Monday, please make sure that you will get credit for your Human Genome Project work and for Mitosis/Meiosis project. All computer based projects need to be placed in the folder "2010 Science 7th gr projects" on the server; your name should be clearly marked. You grading paper for each project (self-grading checklist for Human Genome and peer-graded rubric for Mitosis/Meiosis) has to be submitted to the teacher. All other forms of projects should be handed in to the teacher along with the appropriate grading paper. |
