Curated OER
Genetics Since Mendel
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders determine whether it is possible for two alleles to produce four genotypes. Then they state how many alleles there are for blood type. Students also determine which blood type is inherited by...
Curated OER
Incomplete Dominance
In this biology worksheet, students use the information given about genetics and Sponge Bob to complete each section of the sheet. They identify and explain incomplete dominance and use it to help them complete the questions that follow.
Curated OER
SpongeBob Genetics Quiz
In this biology instructional activity, students use the information given to complete each of the questions. They indicate whether each genotype is heterozygous or homozygous. Students also complete the Punnett square to illustrate the...
Curated OER
Making Babies
Students participate in a genetics activity in which they determine genotypes and phenotypes for given traits. They work with a partner and create babies based on their genotypes. Once traits for babies are determined, they write...
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
Frankenfish
Students learn the difference between a genotype and a phenotype. They demonstrate that recombination of gametes (coins) will result in the formation of unique individuals.
Curated OER
Marshmallow Babies
Eighth graders interpret the genotypes and phenotypes, then pair up chromosomes.
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
Genetics: Basics
High schoolers study the basics of genetics and the father of genetics Gregor Mendel.
Curated OER
Genetic Terms
In this biology worksheet, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to genetics. There are 15 biology terms located in the word search.
Curated OER
Natural Selection
Students practice calculating allele and genotype frequencies in the framework of a simple simulation using hard candy, calculators, and a worksheet. This lesson includes a three-page worksheet and an assessment question for conclusion.
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
Here's Looking at You
Students assess some common inherited traits which are easily observable and note their phenotype for the trait. Students compare their phenotypes to those of their parents and attempt to describe the pattern and manor of inheritance.
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.
