Science Curriculum Standards 3216 - Biology II	Internet Resources
Illustrate the movement of chromosomes and other cellular organelles involved in meiosis. 4.1	Animal Cell Mitosis - This animation demonstrates the stages of mitosis in an animal cell. The Cell Cycle & Mitosis Tutorial - Interphase and Mitosis diagrams with a link to a mitosis movie at the bottom of the page. Cell Cycle Quiz - Correct each error by clicking on the incorrect word or phrase. Correct picks will result in the insertion of the correct word or phrase above the error. How Cells Divide - a great interactive site from Nova An index of Mitosis/Meiosis animations Learn the steps in mitosis with a set of excellent images. Learn the steps in mitosis with an interactive Java tutorial Interactive Mitosis Tutorial - requires Shockwave Mitosis animation - a follow up quiz is included Mitosis & Meiosis from the Lab Bench at Prentice Hall
Provide a detailed explanation of how meiosis and fertilization result in new genetic combinations. 4.2
Compare the expected outcome with the actual results of a cross in an organism such as a fruit fly or fast plant. 4.3
Develop a model to illustrate the stages of protein synthesis. 4.4
Apply the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA. 4.5
Recognize how various types of mutations affect gene expression and the sequence of amino acids in the encoded protein. 4.6	Biological Evolution Quiz - testing the concept of replicators as the concept relates to genes and their roles in evolution. Birds, Beaks, and Natural Selection - A Simulation DNA Mutations - excellent illustrations and animations from Cancer Quest
Distinguish among the characteristics of various structural levels found in protein molecules. 4.7
Describe the formation of recombinant DNA molecules. 4.8
Recognize that genetic engineering can be applied to develop novel biomedical and agricultural products. 4.9
