Chapter 13
The Molecular Basis of Inheritance
Learning Objectives:
3.A.1: DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information.
3.A.3: The chromosomal basis of inheritance provides an understanding of the pattern of passage (transmission) of genes from parent to offspring.
3.B.1: Gene regulation results in differential gene expression, leading to cell specialization.
3.C.1: Changes in genotype can result in changes in phenotype.
3.C.3: Viral replication results in genetic variation and viral infection can introduce genetic variation into the hosts.

Test Your Understanding
Textbook page 277, #1-8
Complete in Notes.
As you complete test, mark questions with:
a star (I know this),
a checkmark (I might know this),
or a question mark (I don't know, I guessed).
Self-correct.
Write validations/corrections for checkmarks, question marks, and missed stars (oops).
Scientific Skills Exercise:
Working with data in a table
Given the percentage composition of one nucleotide in a genome, can we redict the percentage of the other three nucleotides?
