BIG IDEA
The structure of DNA, the molecule
of heredity, enables the molecule to
copy itself.
LEARNING FOCUS
• The genetic code is stored in DNA within cells. 7 - 11
• Each generation of organisms inherits characteristics from the one before. 18 - 24
• Variation can occur when genetic information is passed from one generation to
the next. 15 - 25
• Variation among individual member of the same species is caused by differences
in genomes and the environment. 18 - 25
