1. 2.9 Behavioral and Physical Traits Analysis: Mind Map Hints 11/17 and 11/18 2014

2. Mind Map Draw a mind map (like the one on the following page) of the following terms: Genetics, Traits, Behavioral Traits, Physical Traits, Adaptations, Genetic Variation, Natural Selection, and Evolution. Connect the terms that are related and explain why they are related on the line. Explain how the terms are connected along the lines

3. 2.8/9 Traits and Adaptations Mind Map Genetics Traits Behavioral Traits Physical Traits Adaptation Natural Selection Evolution Genetic Variation Heredity

4. Level 1 Tip (tiny tip) Use your 2.8 Traits and Adaptations Notes or the 2.8 Traits and Adaptations Powerpoint on Versal Look through the notes and try to find sections/slides that have two of the key terms in them. – The relationship will be explained in the notes This slide tells you that genetics and heredity are related because genetics is the study of heredity. This slide also tell you that heredity and traits are related because heredity is how traits are passed down.

5. Level 2 Tip (middle tip) This tip shows you the logic lines I drew between the different terms. Each color shows a logical progression of information. Each term is connected in logical order. All you need to do is add descriptions of the relationships in this order to explain high level concepts from class.

6. Level 3 Tip (middle tip) This tip shows you the logic lines I drew between the different terms. Each color shows a logical progression of information. Each term is connected in logical order. All you need to do is add descriptions of the relationships in this order to explain high level concepts from class. Genetic variation: Everyone has different DNA and traits is essential to studying genetics Genetic variation: everyone has different DNA so everyone has different traits

7. Level 4 Tip (Example tip) This tip shows you the logic lines I drew between the different terms. Each color shows a logical progression of information. Each term is connected in logical order. All you need to do is add descriptions of the relationships in this order to explain high level concepts from class. Genetic variation: Everyone has different DNA and traits is essential to studying genetics Genetic variation: everyone has different DNA so everyone has different traits

8. Level 5 Tip (Example tip) This tip shows you the logic lines I drew between the different terms. Each color shows a logical progression of information. Each term is connected in logical order. All you need to do is add descriptions of the relationships in this order to explain high level concepts from class. Genetics is the study of heredity and learning about everyone’s different genes and traits (genetic variation) Genetic variation: everyone has different DNA so everyone has different traits Genetics is the study of heredity Heredity is the passing down of traits from parents to offspring
