Curated OER
Solving Crosses
Genetics hopefuls solve Punnett Squares for monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. An example of each is provided to teach the process. Other heredity patterns are mentioned and genetic disorders are listed in the second half of the...
Curated OER
Genetics Worksheet
In this genetics activity, students answer a variety of questions about genotypes, phenotypes, genetic inheritance, and traits. They solve for the probability of genotypes and phenotypes of offspring by completing monohybrid and dihybrid...
Curated OER
Dihybrid Punnett Squares
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.
Curated OER
Monohybrid Punnetr Squares
Students 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 reveal the...
Curated OER
Mendel's Laws of Heredity
In this heredity learning exercise, students will review the work Mendel did on predicting how traits were passed down from generation to generation. Then students will review monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and Punnett squares. This...
Curated OER
Genetics Basics
In this basics of genetics worksheet, students 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 five...
Curated OER
Inheritance in Maize
High schoolers use mutant corn ears to investigate inheritance patterns. In this inheritance lesson plan, students count the number of corn kernels of each phenotype in mutant and wild type ears of corn. High schoolers calculate the...
Curated OER
Punnett Squares/Genetics
Ninth graders complete a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross. In this biology lesson, 9th graders predict the traits of offspring using the Punnett square. They differentiate recessive and dominant genes.
Curated OER
Punnett Squares
Young scholars 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
Mendel's Laws of Heredity
Easy-to-read notes about Mendel's Laws of Heredity make up this collection of slides. In bullet-point style, viewers are exposed to Mendel's pea plant experimentation and the rules he developed that govern genetics. There are no graphics...
Curated OER
Genetics Intro
In this genetics activity, students write in definitions for 11 terms associated with basic genetics. Students use Punnett squares to complete 8 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Genetics Crossword
In this biology activity, students complete a crossword puzzle with 38 questions on genetics. They identify the different parts and functions of a flower.
