Autosomal Pedigrees Worksheet
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...

Take Me to Sesame Street!
Young scholars 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.

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