Students take a short quiz on genotypes and phenotypes. As a class, they are introduced to the concept of Punnett Squares and listen to a description of Gregor Mendel's pea experiment. In groups, they complete Punnett Squares to determine the probability of an offspring having certain traits. To end the lesson, they complete a problem to determine the correct combination of genes related to hairless dogs. Full Review »

Students review genotypes and phenotypes by taking a quiz. They calculate the probability of hail. After discussing and observing Mendel's Punnett Squares, students calculate probability problems and then use Punnett squares to solve the problems and identify the genotypes and phenotypes.
