Learning Objectives:

2.E.1: Timing and coordination of specific events are necessary for the normal development of an organism, and these events are regulated by a variety of mechanisms.

3.A.1: DNA, and in some cases RNA, is the primary source of heritable information.

3.A.4:  The inheritance pattern of many traits cannot be explained by simple Mendelian genetics.

3.C.2:  Biological systems have multiple processes that increase genetic variation.
