Curated OER
Mendelian Genetics
Although these slides seem full of text, the information is bulleted and clear. There is a list of vocabulary and then two slides to define examples of Mendelian inheritance and rules of probability. The remaining five slides look at...
Curated OER
Zork Genetics
In this genetics worksheet, students use an imaginary species and a list of genetic traits and the alleles that code for each trait to determine the genotype and phenotype probabilities of offspring. Students complete nine monohybrid...
Curated OER
Genetics Worksheet
In this genetics worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about genotypes, phenotypes, genetic inheritance, and traits. They solve for the probability of genotypes and phenotypes of offspring by completing monohybrid and...
Curated OER
Human Genetic Disorder Probabilities
In this genetic disorders worksheet, students complete punnett squares for six different human genetic disorders. They predict the outcome of the offspring including the phenotypes and genotypes of each.
Curated OER
Pea Plants Dihybrid Cross
In this dihybrid cross learning exercise, students are given four crosses to complete using punnett squares. They determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Curated OER
Dihybrid Cross Punnett Squares
In this dihybrid cross activity, students complete two punnett squares for the cross of two traits. They determine the genotypes, phenotypes and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
Curated OER
Punnett Squares
Eighth graders take a short quiz on genotypes and phenotypes. As a class, they are introduced to the concept of Punnett Squares and listen to a description of Gregor Mendel's pea experiment. In groups, they complete Punnett Squares to...
Curated OER
Biology-Genetics
Students predict the probable mode of inheritance from a pedigree diagram showing phenotypes. They study the genetic basis for Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment. They give a Power Point slide show demonstrating the...
Curated OER
Complete Dominance Traits
In this instructional activity, 10th graders produces a different phenotype since the dominance is incomplete. Both parents have a spotted nose. After student have determined traits, they create drawings. Students chart thier respones...
Curated OER
Just Like Me
Students review genetic concept of traits, define and discuss phenotypes and genotypes, examine differences between single gene traits and multiple gene traits, and compare and record phenotypes with every other student in class.
Curated OER
My Family And Me
Students create a family pedigree, relate the laws of inheritance to a family pedigree, and determine certain phenotypes and corresponding genotypes of members in their family.
Curated OER
Making A Face
Students are introduced to the cellular machinery assorts the pairs of chromosomes randomly and independently during meiosis. They are introduced to the rich genetic variation occurs as a result of the random and independent assortment...
Curated OER
Create-A-Kid
Students flip a pair of coins to determine what genotype and what phenotype their child have for 29 given traits. They draw a picture of their kid based on their coin flip phenotypes.
