BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES:
1. The student will be able to summarize and explain the general role of genes in the development of an embryo.
2. The differentiation of cells will be explained from a genetic perspective.
3. The timing of gene activation will be shown to be a product of the chemical function of genetic proteins
4. Genetic engineering, as explained through the sequencing of genetic expression, will be presented.
