Students come to understand that in sexually reproducing organisms, such as humans, typically half of the genes come from each parent. Students examine a fictional pedigree and determine which gene is responsible for a given trait. The genetic information for individuals is depicted as a jigsaw puzzle. Terms that students encounter include gene; chromosome; DNA; pedigree; genotype; phenotype; dominant; and recessive. Full Review »

Students compare and contrast normal DNA chromosomes to mutated chromosomes. In groups, they explore the functions of DNA nucletoids and genetic recombination. Students explore symptoms and treatments of diseases. With a partner, students create illustrations of different types of mutations. Full Review »

Students identify and determine Genotype and Phenotype of fruit flies and then correctly interpert genotype and phenotype. They pass around a jar with some fruit flies in it and a magnifying glass so that everyone can get a good look at them. Finally, students create their own fruit flies through experimentation.
