Students explore Gregor Mendel's work with genetics. They complete a survey of their friends and family in order to identify dominant and recessive traits. Once their surveys are complete, students discuss the ways in which dominant and recessive traits can occur in a variety of combinations. 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.

Students summarize the three major steps of Gregor Mendel's garden-pea experiments. They define the terms homozygous, heterozygous, genotype and phenotype. They predict the outcome of mono-hybrid and di-hybrid crosses and predict the results of dihybrid genetic crosses by using Punnett squares. Full Review »
