HW: Study Guide for test; worksheet on Mutations
Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
1. Entry ticket (bell ringer below)
- A monohybrid cross is a genetic cross using a single trait with two alleles.
- This cross can be done between two individuals that are homozygous for a single trait or heterozygous
for a single trait.
-The monohybrid cross pollination between a true-breeding green pod plant (GG) and a true-breeding
yellow pod plant (gg) results in all green offspring.
-Students will draw a Punnett Square and show probability ratios for green and yellow pods.
2. Direct Instruction
–Review patterns of inheritance (incomplete dominance, codominance, and acquired traits, and multiple alleles).
-Identify faulty reasoning in the patterns.
- Relate meiosis to sex cells.
-Explain how one chromosome is from each parent.
-Introduce human inheritance Pages 412-417 as the next class work assignment.
- Identify and describe uses of fertilization and selective breeding and genetic engineering.
3. Activity-Students work in pairs to test each other on study guide questions for chapter test.
Exit ticket (Close read on human inheritance).

1. Entry ticket (bell ringer/-chromosomes
2. Direct Instruction-(Discuss ways in which people resemble their parents.
Explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.
Apply the laws of Mendelain genetics to solve simple monohybrid crosses, using
a Punnett square.
