AC9S10U01

Elaborations

• AC9S10U01_E1using models and diagrams to represent the relationship between genes, chromosomes, and DNA of an organism’s genome
• AC9S10U01_E2explaining how genetic information passed on to offspring from both parents by meiosis and fertilisation increases the variation of a species
• AC9S10U01_E3using Mendelian inheritance to predict the ratio of offspring genotypes and phenotypes in monohybrid crosses involving dominant and recessive alleles or in genes that are sex-linked
• AC9S10U01_E4using pedigree diagrams to show patterns of inheritance of simple dominant and recessive characteristics through multigenerational families
• AC9S10U01_E5investigating First Nations Australians’ knowledges of heredity as evidenced by the strict adherence to kinship and family structures, especially marriage laws
• AC9S10U01_E6exploring environmental and other factors that cause mutations and identifying changes in DNA or chromosomes
• AC9S10U01_E7exploring the role of DNA in cancer or genetic disorders such as haemochromatosis, sickle cell anaemia, cystic fibrosis or Klinefelter syndrome
