-
Eligible Content - BIO.B.2.1.2 Describe processes that can alter composition or number of chromosomes (i.e., crossing-over, nondisjunction, duplication, translocation, deletion, insertion, and inversion).
-
-
Anchor Descriptor - BIO.B.2.2
Explain the process of protein synthesis (i.e., transcription, translation, and protein modification).
-
Eligible Content - BIO.B.2.2.1 Describe how the processes of transcription and translation are similar in all organisms.
