 * “Genetic Variation” FOSS Pop. & Eco. Investigation 9 **

media type="custom" key="22857034" = = =**__VIDEO ---> BILL NYE - Genetics Greatest Discoveries__**=

Students will know …. TERMS: Heredity, inheritance, genetic variation, chromosomes, genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, genotype, phenotype, Punnett square, homozygous, heterozygous, haploid, diploid

It’s important to understand that… 1. Individuals in every population differ from one another. 2. Alleles cause these differences. 3. Alleles can be dominant or recessive.

Students will be able to…. 1. Observe variation in human traits and Larkey traits. 2. Use a simulation to determine the transfer of genetic information during breeding and traits that result. 3. Use Punnett squares to predict proportion of offspring that will have certain traits. 4. Explain how organisms inherit features and traits from their parents. 5. Describe how dominant and recessive alleles interact to produce traits in a population.

LESSON #1
== EQ: What are variations within features? ==

You will look at four or five of your features to determine what trait you have: little fingers straight or bent, earlobes attached or not, hairline forms a widow's peak or not, and tongue can curl or not. We may even examine your taste. We will determine the distribution of four or five traits in the class. You will then study a population of larkeys, a make-believe animal, to analyze their traits.

What are traits?

Observable Traits

Inventory of Traits





LESSON #2
== EQ: What are the key terms essential to understanding Heredity? ==

This lecture/discussion introduces you to the structures and mechanisms of heredity. You will learn the structures involved: cell, nucleus, chromosome, allele, and gene. You will be introduced to the functional relationships that determine genetic processes: genotype, phenotype, dominant allele, and recessive allele. You will start to practice decoding the genotype of a larkey to discover what traits it has. Intro to Genetics

LESSON #3
== EQ: How do organisms inherit traits from their parents? == You will start to practice decoding the genotype of a Larkey to discover what traits it has.

LESSON #4
== EQ: How do Punnett Squares help us make predictions about offspring traits? == You will learn how to use Punnett squares to predict the probability of offspring traits when the genotypes of the parent larkeys are known. The ideas are reinforced using a multimedia simulation. Lab Book pages 61 & 63
