Standards and Benchmarks (Biology 9-12):

1. EALR 4.9-11.LS1G:  Cells us the DNA that forms their genes to encode enzymes and her proteins that allow a cell to grow and divide to produce more cells, and to respond to the environment. 
2. EALR 4.9-11.LS1H:  Genes are carried on chromosomes.  Animal cells contain two copies of each chromosome with genetic information that regulate body structure and functions.  Most cells dived by a processes called mitosis, in which the genetic information is copied so that each new cell contains exact copies of the original chromosomes.  

Big Idea(s):
