Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species? chances to survive and reproduce.
October 1, 2018HS-LS3-1
Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
October 1, 2018HS-LS3-2
Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.
October 1, 2018HS-LS3-3
Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population.
October 1, 2018HS-LS4-1
Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence.
October 1, 2018HS-LS4-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that … Read More “HS-LS4-2”
October 1, 2018HS-LS4-3
Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that organisms with an advantageous heritable trait tend to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait.
October 1, 2018HS-LS1-6
Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.
October 1, 2018HS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations.
October 1, 2018HS-LS1-7
Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy.

Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales.
October 1, 2018HS-LS2-2
