All players try to answer the question. The first
one to shout out the correct answer wins.
If someone shouts the wrong answer, they
must skip their next turn.
If you get the correct answer, you can mark
yourself a letter, spelling “GENEOLOGY”
The first player to spell GENEOLOGY wins.
Players have 15 seconds to answer the
question. The PowerPoint is pre-timed.
Where was Gregor Mendel born?
Answer: Austria
What is Geneology?
Hint: The scientific study of ___________.
Answer: Heredity
If a pea plant is homozygous dominant tall, and
another pea plant is heterozygous tall, what is the


Answer: 100% or 1 in 1 or 4/4 or 1/1 or 1:1
Which part of plants produce the

If you flip a fair coin 50 times and it comes up
