UNIT 1
MODULE 2: GENETICS, VARIATION AND NATURAL SELECTION (cont’d)

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES EXPLANATORY NOTES SUGGESTED PRACTICAL
ACTIVITIES

Structure and Roles of Nucleic Acids (cont’d)

Students should be able to:
1.2
1.4. explain the relationship
between the sequence of
nucleotides and the amino
acid sequence in a
polypeptide; and,

1.5. explain the relationship
between the structure of
DNA, protein structure
and the phenotype of an
organism.

2. Cell Division and Variation

Students should be able to:

2.1. describe the relationship
among DNA, chromatin,
and chromosomes;

2.2. describe with the aid Inclusion of interphase. Observe the stages in the
of diagrams, the stages cell cycle and make
of mitotic cell division; annotated diagrams from
prepared slides, and/or a
freshly prepared squashed
root tip to show the stages
of mitosis.

2.3. explain the importance of
DNA replication for
maintaining genetic
stability;
