SIGNIFICANT SITUATION
The 4th grade secondary students identify that the physical traits of living beings
they are acquired from their parents. In the face of this situation, questions arise such as: Why
What physical traits do not manifest in any offspring? Why are there living beings?
What features of the parents do their progenitors have? Is it possible to pass on the genes of a
Can a living being interact with another of a different species and kingdom? Can we prevent genetic diseases?
To answer these questions, it is necessary to understand the chemical bases of the
inheritance, how and in what proportion the genes of individuals are externally expressed,
and to what extent and for what purpose can man modify the genetic traits of the
species.
