Monohybrid Crosses

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Students define the terms monohybrid cross and Punnett Square. As a class, they discuss the Law of Segregation and probability to complete a practice problem. To end the lesson plan, they predict the probability of certain types of...

Monohybrid Punnetr Squares

For Teachers 8th - 9th
Young scholars explore Punnett squares and illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. After a class discussion, students predict the probability of a specific trait being passed on by using Punnett squares. They...

Punnett Squares

For Teachers 7th - 11th
Students revie the Law of Independent Assortment and Law of Dominance. They practice Punnet squares and predicting genetic outcomes and identify factors that influence heredity.

Dihybrid Punnett Squares

For Teachers 9th - 10th
Students construct Punnett squares to illustrate specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic outcomes. Students calculate the probability of achieving specific genotypic and phenotypic genetic oucomes, using dihybrid Punnett squares.

Designer Babies

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Students differentiate phenotypes and genotypes. For this genetics lesson, students complete the punnett square. They design their own baby by choosing the phenotype they want.
