| UNIT TITLE: DNA & RNA STANDARDS: 4. Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism that specify the sequence of amino acids in proteins characteristic of that organism. As a basis for understanding this concept students will know: 4a. The general pathway by which ribosomes synthesize proteins, using tRNAs to translate genetic information in mRNA. 4b. How to apply the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA. 4c. How mutations in the DNA sequence may or may not affect the expression the gene or the sequence of amino acids in an encoded protein. |
| UNIT TITLE: Energy in the Earth System "A" STANDARDS: 5. Heating of Earth's surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection within the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds and ocean currents. As a basis for understanding this concept students know: a. How differential heating of Earth results in circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans that globally distribute heat. b. The relationship between the rotation of Earth and the motions of ocean currents and air in pressure centers. c. Properties of ocean water, such as temperature and salinity, can be used to explain the layered structure of the oceans, the generation of horizontal and vertical ocean currents, and the geographic distribution of marine organisms. |
