= Biological Traits and Heredity =

__**Standards**__ a. Explain the role of genes and chromosomes in the process of inheriting a specific trait. b. Compare and contrast sexual and asexual reproduction in organisms (bacteria, protists, fungi, plants & animals). c. Recognize that selective breeding can produce plants or animals with desired traits.
 * S7L3. Students will recognize how biological traits are passed on to successive generations. **
