-
-
Anchor Descriptor - BIO.B.2.2
Explain the process of protein synthesis (i.e., transcription, translation, and protein modification).
-
Eligible Content - BIO.B.2.2.1 Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.
-
Eligible Content - BIO.B.2.2.2 Describe the role of ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and the nucleus in the production of specific types of proteins.
-
-
Anchor Descriptor - BIO.B.2.3
Explain how genetic information is expressed.
-
Eligible Content - BIO.B.2.3.1 Describe how genetic mutations alter the DNA sequence and may or may not affect phenotype (e.g., silent, nonsense, frame-shift).
-

-
Anchor Descriptor - S7.B.3.1 Compare the biotic and abiotic factors of different ecosystems and explain relationships between and these factors.
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.1.1 Describe relationships (e.g., predator/prey competition, symbiosis) between organisms in different ecosystems.
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.1.2 Identify the major biomes (terrestrial and aquatic) and describe their characteristic biotic and abiotic factors.
-
-
Anchor Descriptor - S7.B.3.2 Explain ways different variables may cause and/or influence changes in natural or humanmade systems
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.2.1 Identify and describe factors that cause and/or influence changes in populations (e.g., deforestation, disease, land use, natural disaster, invasive species).
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.2.2 Explain how diversity affects the integrity of natural ecological systems.
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.2.3 Describe how human interactions with the environment impact an ecosystem (e.g., road construction, pollution, urban development, dam building/removal).
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.2.4 Explain how changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of a population and entire species (e.g., climate, hibernation, migration, coloration).
-
-
Anchor Descriptor - S7.B.3.3 Explain how renewable and nonrenewable resources provide for human needs and how these needs impact the environment.
-
Eligible Content - S7.B.3.3.1 Explain how renewable and/or nonrenewable resources provide for human needs (i.e., energy, food, water, clothing, and shelter).
-
