Reproduction
7.14 Organisms and environments. The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to:
(B) Compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.
(B) Compare the results of uniform or diverse offspring from sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction.

Heredity & Genetics
7.14 The student knows that reproduction is a characteristic of living organisms and that the instructions for traits are governed in the genetic material. The student is expected to:
(A) Define heredity as the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation;
(C) Recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in genes within chromosomes in the nucleus.

Adaptations & Selection
7.11 Organisms and environments. The student knows that populations and species demonstrate variation and inherit many of their unique traits through gradual processes over many generations. The student is expected to:
(B) Explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and
(C) Identify some changes in genetic traits that have occurred over several generations through natural selection and selective breeding such as the Galapagos Medium Ground Finch (Geospiza fortis) or domestic animals.
7.12 Organisms and environments. The student knows that living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate the complementary nature of structure and function. The student is expected to:
(A) Investigate and explain how internal structures of organisms have adaptations that allow specific functions such as gills in fish, hollow bones in birds, or xylem in plants
(B) Explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb; and

Classification
7.11 Organisms and environments. The student knows that populations and species demonstrate variation and inherit many of their unique traits through gradual processes over many generations. The student is expected to:
(A) Examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification
(A) Examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification
These two videos do a great job of explaining how to use a dichotomous key. Please invest 5 min and hit play twice.

Dichotomous Key Rules
1. Always start at the beginning with number 1.
2. Remember rule number 1
3. After you choose one of the two choices go where the key tells you to go.
4. Keep going.
5. NEVER work backward. See rule number 1.
6. If you think you made a mistake...see rule number 1.
