REPRODUCTION
BC SCIENCE 9
Ministry Key Elements

By the end of the grade, students will have developed understanding of the
processes of cell division as they pertain to reproduction.
Vocabulary

binary fission, budding, cancer, cell cycle, chromosomes, DNA, embryonic
development, fertilization, fragmentation, gametes, genes, meiosis, mitosis,
nucleolus, sexual and asexual reproduction, stem cells, vegetative
reproduction, zygote
Knowledge

contents of the nucleus








relationship between genes and proteins
changes to cell membrane and nucleus during the cell cycle
cancer
sexual and asexual reproduction
type(s) of reproduction
adaptability of organisms
zygote formation (fertilization)
stem cells in embryonic development
Prescribed Learning Outcomes
It is expected that students will:
B1 explain the process of cell division
Suggested Achievement Indicators






identify the contents of the nucleus: chromosomes, DNA, genes, and
nucleolus
explain the significance of cell division, with reference to the basic
relationship between genes and proteins (i.e., genes code for proteins)
describe factors that may lead to changes in a cell’s genetic information
describe, in sequence, the stages and features of the cell cycle, including
mitosis and cytokinesis
describe cancer as abnormal cell division
distinguish meiosis from mitosis in terms of outcomes (i.e., number of
chromosomes and number of daughter cells)
Prescribed Learning Outcomes
It is expected that students will:
B2 relate the processes of cell division and emerging
reproductive technologies to embryonic development
Suggested Achievement Indicators
 distinguish between male and female gametes

describe the process by which a single zygote forms
(fertilization) and develops

describe and assess the impact of one or more emerging
reproductive technologies (e.g., in vitro, cloning)

explain the role of stem cells in embryonic development
Prescribed Learning Outcomes
It is expected that students will:
B3 compare sexual and asexual reproduction in
terms of advantages and disadvantages
Suggested Achievement Indicators
 distinguish between sexual reproduction (e.g.,
human) and asexual reproduction (e.g., binary
fission, budding, vegetative, fragmentation) in
representative organisms
 relate sexual and asexual reproduction to
adaptability of organisms
Key Elements from Ministry:
By the end of the grade, students will have developed
understanding of the processes of cell division as they
pertain to reproduction.
Key Ideas/ Chapter Titles
of the BC Science 9 Reproduction Unit



Chapter 4: The nucleus controls the functions of life.
Chapter 5: Mitosis is the basis of asexual reproduction.
Chapter 6: Meiosis is the basis for sexual reproduction.
Author’s Themes

Bring the
curriculum into
the 21st century
Author’s Themes

Engage the
students
emotionally in
ethical decisions
regarding science
and technology
Author’s Themes

Have students
understand that
there is still much
to be learned
about molecular
and cell biology
and reproduction
Author’s Themes

Have students
understand that is
the proteins
coded for in the
nucleus that
controls cell
activities
Author’s Themes
Have students understand
that meiosis is the source of
variation for adaptation.
Independent assortment and
crossing over in meiosis
produces the variation.
Author’s Themes

Have students be
able to relate the
functions of cell
organelles to the
making of these
critical proteins
Author’s Themes

Have students be
able to understand
how the cell cycle
is controlled
through
checkpoint
proteins
Author’s Themes

Have students be
able to relate
cancer to
malfunctioning
checkpoint
proteins
Author’s Themes

Highlight the high
quality, leading
edge genetic and
biotech research
in our province at
the university
campuses and
other B.C.
research
institutes.
