Students study the number of chromosomes in the body cells, sperm cells, and egg cells of humans. They define allele, and examine the difference between dominant and recessive alleles. They complete an activity with jelly beans that represent genes for several human traits. Full Review »

Students predict possible phenotypic and genotypic outcomes for avariety of common plant hybrids. They review and explain the characteristics of dominant and recessive traits and explore Mendelian genetics. Students plot the possible possible outcomes of a designated set of plant hybrid offspring. Full Review »

Students examine how to determine the difference between dominant and recessive traits. They create a creature with at least three traits which the students identify as dominant or recessive. They demonstrate the use of a Punnett square. Finally, they make a family portrait for their creature which shows the parents and offspring with the traits identified. Full Review »

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 create species of mussels. They discuss genes, traits and dominance and recessive traits. They observe two species of mussels and record their traits on the Dominate Recessive worksheet. They graph both species' results and compare the two species. They discuss why certain traits are good for each species. Full Review »

Students listen as the teacher explains the differences between dominant and recessive traits. The data sheet is described and delivered to students. Students collect data about themselves and record it on their sheet. For the Class column, students indicate by a show of hands whether they are dominant or recessive for each trait. Full Review »

In this lesson, students produces a different phenotype since the dominance is incomplete. Both parents have a spotted nose. After student have determined traits, they create drawings. Students chart thier respones in the graphich organzier. Full Review »

Students explore the principles of incomplete dominance and codominance in genes. They apply genetic previously discussed genetic principles to determine solutions to inheritance problems including multiple alleles, incomplete dominance and codominance. Full Review »
