In this basics of genetics learning exercise, learners review the concepts of genetic inheritance by writing the alleles for genetic traits inherited in offspring. They identify dominant and recessive traits given allele pairs, answer...

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,...

Three autosomal pedigrees are printed on this assignment. Biology scholars read them and determine the phenotypes for several individuals and find which ones inherit different genetic disorders. This fundamental skill can be reinforced...

Students will apply concepts learned in genetics, such as Punnett squares and pedigree charts, in creating their own monster family. Also they will work cooperatively with a partner to create their monster family.

Young scholars learn the difference between a genotype and a phenotype. They demonstrate that recombination of gametes (coins) will result in the formation of unique individuals.

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

In this genetics worksheet, students use an imaginary species and a list of genetic traits and the alleles that code for each trait to determine the genotype and phenotype probabilities of offspring. Students complete nine monohybrid...

In this genetics activity, learners complete a crossword puzzle by determining the terms associated with the 24 clues given. Students review terms such as phenotype, genotype, alleles, and Mendel.

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 genetics instructional activity, students complete 3 dihybrid crosses of traits to determine the probability of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of the imaginary species, the Zork.

In this genetics problems learning exercise, students solve 20 problems by completing crosses using Punnett squares in order to predict the probability of genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.

Students explore the causes and effects of genetic disorders. They examine the phenotype and genotype of individuals and predict the recurrenence risks. Students generate a Punnett square and construct pedigree charts.

In this genetics instructional activity, students are given two coins that they mark with a "F" and a "M" to represent parents. They flip the coins to determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring for twelve traits. They also use...

In this genetics worksheet, students will solve genetic problems using the genetic cross or a Punnett square. This worksheet has 6 short answer questions.

In this genetics learning exercise, students use descriptive information about the different types of Oompa Loompas to show genotype and phenotype plus dominant and recessive traits. This learning exercise has 12 problems to solve.

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.

Pupils are introduced to the concepts of genetic dominance, recessiveness, related terms, Punnett Squares, etc.

A survey of Mendelian genetics is presented through this handout. Biology prodigies answer questions about the Law of Segregation, phenotypic ratios, and dominance. They define genetics vocabulary terms and describe various genetic...

An interesting PowerPoint which provides the main facts, definitions, and terminology necessary for understanding DNA. It also presents summaries of the processes involved with DNA replication and the application of protein isolation and...

A standard word search activity, this worksheet provides students with 19 vocabulary terms related to the concept of genetics such as Y chromosome, genotype, and recessive which they then need to find. Because this is an interactive...

It has been decades since the discovery of DNA. Still, activities such building this DNA model allow blossoming scientists to better understand the components that form this overall structure. During this activity, they will also...

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders create a Punnett square to show the possible offspring of a carrier female and a normal male for color blindness. Then they draw a pedigree for the family and indicate whether the daughter is...

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify which seed color is dominant in the given chart and explain why it is. Then they create a Punnett square showing the alleles of the parent plants and first generation of offspring.

For this paper pets genetics worksheet, students are given 4 genetic traits found in a particular species (paper pet). Students are given the genotypes of the parents of the paper pets and they perform genetic crosses using punnet...
