Jill Currin NC TEACH ECI 473 Unit Plan- Genetics 6 weeks Sub Topics: approximately 2 weeks each: Genetic Variation Punnet Squares and Pedigrees - Genetic Disorders Unit Plan Rationale: The purpose of learning Genetics is to… Understand the relationship of the mechanisms of cellular reproduction. Determine patterns of inheritance and potential variation among offspring. Know that asexual reproduction produces offspring identical to the parent. Understand how Sexual reproduction produces offspring that have genetic information from two parents. Explain why offspring that result from sexual reproduction (fertilization and meiosis) have greater variation than offspring that result from asexual reproduction (budding and mitosis). Determine how characteristics of living things passed on to future generations. Infer patterns of heredity using information from Punnett squares and pedigree analysis. Predict the probability of genetic traits using a Punnett square. Trace a genetic trait within a family using a pedigree. Predict patterns of heredity. Know some common inherited genetic diseases and how they are inherited. Predict inheritance of common inherited genetic diseases. Students will understand that choices can impact inheritance and survival. Explain the impact of the environment and lifestyle choices on biological inheritance and survival. Understand how the choices you make and your environment affect your survival and the survival of your species. Genetic Variation Mother cat and Kitten Observation: Write out observations: Color patterns Hair short/long etc. What do you think the dad looks like: If these parents have more offspring what might they look like? Discuss Sexual reproduction and meiosis tutorial Compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction Make a Venn Diagram on sexual and asexual reproduction include: -who is involved -what type of cell division occurs -the variation of offspring (as compared to parents and other offspring) Genetic Traits- Discovery ed Punnet Squares and Pedigrees Infer patterns of heredity Punnett Squares-predict ratios of inherited characteristics Predict patterns of heredity using pedigree Coin toss Genetics Babies and Criminals DNA Virutal lab- genes make the rabbit Heredity power point Pedigree Power Point Sponge Bob genetics Pedigrees worksheet Genetic Disorders Telephone game- compare final outcome Read Genetic Disorders Article Write about heredity Video in Discovery ed Research Genetic Disorders’ Make a Genetic disorder brochure Write paper on environmental stressors and heredity
