- Turner's Syndrome
Genetics
- Understand a simple Punnett square
- Define dominant and recessive traits
- Define genotype and phenotype
- Understand Mendel's experiments
Modern Understanding of Inheritance
- Compare male and female chromosomes
- Identify the function of genes
Microbial Diversity
- Understand eukaryotic organisms
- Osmosis and diffusion
- Examples of microbial eukaryotes (simplest example)

- Components of viruses
- Understand prokaryotes
- DNA transfer mechanisms (e.g., conjugation)
- Bacterial components (e.g., pili)
- Gram-negative vs. Gram-positive bacteria
DNA Structure and Function
- Compare DNA and RNA (strands and nucleotides)
- Describe the structure and function of DNA
- Nucleotides
- Purines and pyrimidines
