Areas of assessment: 1. Spe ic competencies covered by the evaluation According to the pedagogical guidelines and the specific teaching programmes for Life and Earth Sciences at the secondary school, the target competences for Mathematical Science stream ‘A’ enable the learner to: + Acquire knowledge of the transmission of genetic information through sexual reproduction and human genetics, use this knowledge to solve problems related to the transmission of hereditary characteristics/traits and be aware of hereditary diseases so as to take the necessary precautions against diseases; + Acquire basic knowledge of genetic variation with the aim of understanding the importance of selection to improve the quality and profitability of agricultural production and its impact on economic production; + Adopt a scientific approach suitable to address issues related to genetics, genetic and variation; + Use various modes of expression (oral, written and graphic) related to genetics and variation; communicate and present phenomena 2. Content areas areas covered by the evaluation 2.1. First content area: Transmission of genetic information through sexual reproduction and human genetics. This area allows the leamer to acquire knowledge of the transmission of genetic information through sexual reproduction and the statistical laws of the transmission of hereditary characteristics/traits in diploid organisms and human genetics. The study of the transmission of genetic information through sexual reproduction consists of highlighting the role of meiosis and fertilisation in the karyotype stability, and in the recombination and genetic diversity. To achieve that, it is necessary to: + Define meiosis, identify its different phases and show its role in recombination of “alleles (genetic recombination of homologous chromosomes by linkage/crossing-over and chromosomes independent assortment) and therefore deduce the genetic diversity of gametes; + Define fertilisation and show its role in genetic recombination and in genetic diversity of individuals within the same species; + Deal with examples of development cycles in order to show the role of alternation of fertilisation and meiosis in karyotype stability in individuals within the same species from one generation to the next, ‘The study of Mendel’s laws explaining the transmission of hereditary characteristics/traits in diploid organisms consists of: + Formulating the notions of genotype, pure lineage / purebreds (wild type and mutant) and hybridisation; 2020 — 8 SAN 4 npg aS at ED an 8 SEN "Vay hl an Gye JS a) yay Hyd pk ale HEA gan ll YN Shep i AS fl iy a ly aD te 6 O42 Ga ses chtatt ysl iby) 36 leneebac@gmail.com : g's 3! 9s 05.37.71.44.08 : ySil\~ 05,37.71.48.53 [S2ited+ Leaming Mendel’s laws and their exceptions through the study of examples of autosomal ‘monohybridism/monohybrid inheritance (dominance and codominance, lethal gene) and sex-linked gene, and dihybridism/dihybrid inheritance (independent and linked genes); + Showing the role of linkage/crossing-over in genetic diversity of generations and in the construction of gene maps. The study of human genetics consists of: + Knowing the methods and the means of studying the transmission of hereditary characteristics/traits in humans (pedigree, karyotypes) and studying the modes of transmission of some hereditary autosomal and sex-linked diseases using pedigree, karyotypes, and gene detection techniques; + Highlighting certain chromosomal abnormalities and their consequences by using karyotypes. 2.2, Second content area: Genetic variation The aim of this content area is to acquire knowledge related to the quantitative study of variation. Quantitative study of genetic variation consists of: + Studying the quantitative characteristics/traits variation across generations (continuous and discontinuous variation) in individuals within a given population by applying principles and statistical techniques, and thus determining the characteristics of continuous and discontinuous variation of hereditary characteristics based on the study of various examples ; + Using graphical representation of continuous and discontinuous variation in order to show these characteristics/traits; + Using quantitative study to determine the characteristics and peculiarities of a population (homogeneity or heterogeneity, pure lineage/ purebreds), and constructing the notion of artificial selection by showing its effectiveness in the selection of purebreds.
