            • Introduction - MST4.I.LE.2.Introduction:
              Every organism requires a set of instructions for specifying its traits. This information is found in the genes of cells. As organisms reproduce, these instructions are passed from one generation to the next.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.1a:
                Hereditary information is contained in genes. Genes are composed of DNA that makes up the chromosomes of cells.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.1b:
                Each gene carries a single unit of information. A single inherited trait of an individual can be determined by one pair or by many pairs of genes. A human cell contains thousands of different genes.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.1c:
                Each human cell contains a copy of all the genes needed to produce a human being.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.1d:
                In asexual reproduction, all the genes come from a single parent. Asexually produced offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.1e:
                In sexual reproduction typically half of the genes come from each parent. Sexually produced offspring are not identical to either parent.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.2a:
                In all organisms, genetic traits are passed on from generation to generation.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.2b:
                Some genes are dominant and some are recessive. Some traits are inherited by mechanisms other than dominance and recessiveness.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.2.2c:
                The probability of traits being expressed can be determined using models of genetic inheritance. Some models of prediction are pedigree charts and Punnett squares.
