Teacher Preparation Notes on Genetics
Students explore genetics through various hands-on activities. In this biology lesson, students predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They explain the causes of genetic abnormalities.
Curated OER
Dihybrid Punnett Squares
Students construct Punnett squares to illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes.
Students calculate the probability of achieving specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic oucomes, using dihybrid Punnett squares.
Curated OER
Monohybrid Punnetr Squares
Students explore Punnett squares and illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. After a class discussion, students predict the probability of a specific trait being passed on by using Punnett squares. They reveal the...
Curated OER
Plastic Egg Genetics
In this genetics worksheet, students manipulate plastic eggs to discover the genetics of dominant genes. Students combine the various colors and halves of the eggs to complete 6 phenotype graphs of the possible outcomes.
Curated OER
Genetics Review
Students complete a Punnett square and list the probability and ratio of the offspring's genotype and phenotype in this genetics worksheet. There are 8 problems to complete, and are challenging to work on.
Curated OER
Dragon Genetics-Independent Assortment and Genetic Linkage
Students build chromosome models using popsicle sticks. In this biology lesson, students simulate the Law of Independent Assortment. They use Punnett squares to predict the resulting genotype and phenotype.
Curated OER
Designer Babies
Students differentiate phenotypes and genotypes. In this genetics lesson, students complete the punnett square. They design their own baby by choosing the phenotype they want.
Curated OER
The Genetics of Parenthood
Students explore the field of genetics. Through a graphing activity, students assess four common traits. They complete a Meiosis I and II charts which represent possible gametes for an individual. Students discuss phenotype and...
Curated OER
Sampling Variation in a Natural Population
Young scholars examine the phenotypic variation within a natural population of a single species. They collect data on the species and analyze the data using statistical/spreadsheet software. Students interpret their results and present...
Curated OER
Bacterial Transformation
Pupils explore DNA recombination. In this biology instructional activity, students observe the growth of microscopic species. They predict the phenotype of the transformed colonies.
Curated OER
Ladders of Life
Students explore the field of genetics. They examine four basic traits. Students demonstrate their knowledge of phenotype and genotype by charting their personal traits. Students compelte a Meiosis chart. From the chart results,...

The Electrophoresis of Human Hemoglobin
Students analyze different types of hemoglobin. They use the technique of agarose gel electrophoresis to separate human hemoglobin molecules according to their electrical charge, size, and/or shape. Students relate the migration of...
Curated OER
Why do we need Vitamin C in our diet? Or Why do we carry old inactive genes in our genome?
Students explore and explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may be silent or result in phenotypic change in an organism and in its offspring. They analyze how evolution and biodiversity are the result of genetic changes that...
Curated OER
Blood Brothers
Learners study the blood characteristics of a number of distinct racial/ethnic groups. They build skills in observation, information gathering and processing. Students experiences strongly reflect the nature and intent of the current...
