Inheritance Patterns in Zorks
In this inheritance patterns worksheet, students create a visual of a Zork using chromosome strips to represent alleles from the father and the mother to determine the traits in the offspring. Students translate the genotype to the...

Genetic Technology
In this genetic learning exercise, students will complete 4 fill in the blank questions about selective breeding and determining genotypes. Then students will use a Punnett square to determine the genotype for two different breeding...

Mendelian Inheritance of Human Traits
In this Mendelian inheritance activity, students will use a pedigree to complete 4 short answer questions about recessive and dominant traits. Then students will create a Punnett square. Finally, students will match 5 genetic disorders...

Applying the Laws of Inheritance
Biology and mathematics can be integrated through a study of Mendelian Genetics.

Mendel Pea Plants
In this Mendelian genetics worksheet, students answer a variety of questions about Mendel's experiments and discoveries and they practice determining probability of outcomes in pea plants.

Cell Reproduction and Inheritance
Students determine their inherited characteristics from their parents. In this biology lesson, students study the life of Mendel using an interactive website. They differentiate dominant and recessive characteristics.

Genetics and Heredity: The Next Generation
Tenth graders work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson plan, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to...

How Do Organisms Vary?
Pupils study variation of organisms. They determine this variation arises from genetic and environmental causes.
