Students assess some common inherited traits which are easily observable and note their phenotype for the trait. Students compare their phenotypes to those of their parents and attempt to describe the pattern and manor of inheritance.

Geneticists of the future identify heterozygous and homozygous genotypes, describe phenotypes, and use Punnett squares to solve problems and determine characteristics of offspring. A total of 15 questions make this a compact quiz or...

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the cells of the body. There are 32 biology terms located in the word search.

Students solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.

In this genetic disorders worksheet, students complete punnett squares for six different human genetic disorders. They predict the outcome of the offspring including the phenotypes and genotypes of each.

Students predict the probable mode of inheritance from a pedigree diagram showing phenotypes. They study the genetic basis for Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment. They give a Power Point slide show demonstrating the...

In this dihybrid cross worksheet, students complete two punnett squares for the cross of two traits. They determine the genotypes, phenotypes and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

Discover possible genetic outcomes through Punnett Squares. Learners continue studying genetic traits in the 10th lesson in the 17-part series. After determining the father of Sparky's kittens, scholars now attempt to predict the traits...

Although the instructions include reading from a specific textbook, the tasks are appropriate for any unit dealing with how genotype frequency changes over time. Junior biologists define five vocabulary terms and then answer five...

A three-page quiz about genetics, which includes Punnett squares, blood types, questions about Mendel and his contributions, and vocabulary comprehension. Use this for a study guide, a pretest/post-test, or a note-taking activity in...

This multiple-choice and short-answer quiz covers chromosomes, genetic disorders, and more. The multiple choice section could work as a pretest, as well.

This seventh grade life science quiz has a professional appearance and well-written multiple-choice questions. However, it seems to cover too broad a variety of biology topics for only 15 questions to fully assess. There is one question...

Blood types and transfusions are explained in reading passages at the top of the worksheet. A chart of blood type compatibility is also provided. Biology students answer comprehension questions and then exercise critical-thinking skills...

For this genetics worksheet, students complete 9 questions about heredity, genes, and alleles in the form of riddles, word scrambles, word puzzles, and brain teasers.

In this dihybrid cross activity, students are given four crosses to complete using punnett squares. They determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

For this biology worksheet, students use the information given on genetics, Sponge Bob and other characters to complete each of the questions on the sheet. They write the phenotype for each stated trait. Students also determine the...

Students start to think of evolution in terms of populations. The class follows a cartoon scenario of a rabbit population in which there is selection and change of gene frequency. They receive copies of the scenario or the whole thing...

Taboo, anyone?! A vocabulary review lesson asks learners to give their partners clues to help them guess the target word. The catch? There are words that are taboo. If they use the prohibited words, they don't get credit if partners...

Students participate in a small group discussion/role play of a specific case study concerning the use of genetic screening in the workplace.

Eighth graders explore how different organisms pass their traits to their offspring. In this life science instructional activity, 8th graders differentiate recessive and dominant alleles. They predict the phenotype based on the genotype...

Students investigate how Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium is established and what assumptions and conditions are necessary to reach Equilibrium. They model alleles using materials such as index cards, M & M's and goldfish.

Students participate in an activity where they flip coins to determine which allele they pass on to the F1 generation and draw the resulting child's face. They identify several inheritance patterns including dominant, recessive,...

In this genetics worksheet, students fill in the blanks with terms related to genes, alleles, genotypes, phenotypes and heredity. They use their answers to complete a joke.
