| STANDARD B4: GENETICS Students recognize that the specific genetic instructions for any organism are contained within genes composed of DNA molecules located in chromosomes. They explain the mechanism for the direct production of specific proteins based on inherited DNA. Students diagram how occasional modifications in genes and the random distribution of genes from each parent provide genetic variation and become the raw material for evolution. |

| B4.2 DNA | Forensics - Given a scenario and some possible suspects, students will perform a series of tests. These tests, along with other evidence or test results will be used to solve a crime. |
| B4.3 Cell Division — Mitosis and Meiosis | Cell Biology - This event is a lab-oriented competition integrating content knowledge and process skill in the areas of cell biology and biochemistry. |
