Roll of the Genes
Animal reproduction in sheep and cattle is explored with the help of Punnet squares. Scholars employ tools using probability to conclude the color of wool a sheep's offspring will have. Acting as animal geneticists, pupils then take...
Curated OER
Incomplete Dominant and Codominant Traits Worksheet
A two-page instructional activity provides seven Punnett squares for practice in determining genotypes and phenotypes. Each is an example of incomplete dominance or codominance. After your bright biologists have mastered Punnett squares,...
Curated OER
Genetics PowerPoint
If mom is bald, will her babies be bald? Here is a practical presentation that can answer that question. Viewers can take notes on the difference between dominant and recessive genes, mutations, and heritability. A large portion of the...
Curated OER
The Blue Genes Challenge
Students practice completing and analyzing Punnett squares. They create Punnet squares in response to a provided scenario from the company Blue Genes Incorporated. In addition, they complete an activity to determine the phenotype of...
Curated OER
Punnett Squares
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.
Curated OER
Genetics Practice Problems-Simple Worksheet
In this genetics practice worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about homozygous and heterozygous genotypes and simple monohybrid crosses of traits. They determine genotype and phenotype ratios by completing Punnett squares for...
