HS-LS3-2 Evidence Statement
see.isbscience.org/ngss/hs-ls3-2-evidence-statement/Life Science: Heredity: Inheritance of Variation of Traits - Evidence Statement 2
HS-LS3-2: Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.
[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on using data to support arguments for the way variation occurs.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the phases of meiosis or the biochemical mechanism of specific steps in the process.]
