Goals:
1. Know and use properly the terms trait, gene, allele, dominant, recessive, genotype, phenotype, homozygous, and heterozygous.
2. Use punnet squares to predict the results of a genetic cross.
3. Describe exceptions to Mendel's laws such as incomplete dominance, co dominance, linked genes and polygenic inheritance.
Activities:
Monday: Review punnet squares. Make Chromosome pairs for face activity. Homework: Read 282-284, answer questions on handout. Due Wednesday.
Tuesday: Mate gametes for Face Activity.
Wednesday: Go over homework. Practice punnet squares. Work on birth announcements. Homework: Draw face from class results.
Friday: Compare and post drawings. Review and quiz.
Notebook:
1.Warm Up/Homework Handout
2.Punnet square Practice
Most notebook credit will come from the face activity.
Extra Credit: On Thursday during tutorial/conference period there will be an opportunity to do an extra credit activity on pedigrees.
