Pedigree Charts!
Pedigree Charts!
Let's learn about how to trace a trait or a genetic disorder through a Pedigree! A Pedigree is similar to a family tree. Circles represent females, and squares represent males. Lines between a male and a female symbolize the are "married" or have "mated." Their offspring will then be on the layer below them. If either the circle or square are shaded, the trait is present in that person. If the square or circle is only half shaded, that person is considered a "carrier." You will need to read any back ground information given to determine if the particular trait being studied is dominant or recessive. Pedigree charts can look at both the inheritance of a dominant and a recessive trait - be sure to READ!
Review the examples below:
Complete the two virtual labs below - be sure to complete all activities and complete the quiz at the conclusion of each lab.
Virtual Lab #1
Virtual Lab #2
Happy learning! 😊

Auditory Group
Station 1
Listen to these songs about genetics. Once you have viewed both videos, reflect upon the meaning of the videos, and create your own song, poem, or rap about punnett squares. Be sure to apply that traits are inherited from parents and are determined by genes.
Station 2
Watch the video below, and take some notes with the paper provided. Once finished create some punnett squares of your own!
