Biology Unit 02: Cell Cycle (8 days)

TEKS

(5)  Science concepts. The student knows how an organism grows and the importance of cell differentiation. The student is expected to:

(A)  describe the stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis, and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms;

(C)  recognize that disruptions of the cell cycle lead to diseases such as cancer.

(6)  Science concepts. The student knows the mechanisms of genetics, including the role of nucleic acids and the principles of Mendelian Genetics. The student is expected to:

(A)  identify components of DNA, and describe how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA;

(9)  Science concepts. The student knows the significance of various molecules involved in metabolic processes and energy conversions that occur in living organisms. The student is expected to:

(A)  compare the structures and functions of different types of biomolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids;
