Name: ____________________________________
Project RECEIVED: _________________________
Project DUE: _______________________________
Project is worth ________________ total points
Our third quarter project will be based on the concepts of Meiosis and Genetics. During this project we will
specifically look at the effect of genes on the outward appearance of an organism.
After this project, you should be able to answer the following questions:
What is the difference between Genotype and Phenotype?
Do some traits require more than one gene to be fully expressed?
How is there so much variation in the way children look even if they come from the same parents?
How many chromosome pairs does each human parent have?
How many chromosomes does each parent "donate" to the next generation?
Are some genes and gene characteristics expressed over others.... are dominant and recessive genes
responsible for how a baby looks?
Project Procedure:
Check Here
After completing each step
______
Use the key to analyze your genes on each chromosome .
While doing this, you will need to analyze your parents traits (to determine if you are homozygous or
heterozygous for a particular trait). Note: If you live with 1 parent, are adopted, etc., you may
assume your parents’ genotypes are heterozygous (if you want to prove that your mom/dad is
homozygous dominant (RR rather than Rr), you must investigate your grandparents also (no, I will
not be giving extra credit for grandparents’ genetic make-up).
Complete the Phenotype and Genotype trait analysis for yourself and your parents.

that reflect simple Mendelian inheritance as much as possible. However, the traits in the project are not necessarily the full story,
and they are probably NOT located on the chromosomes indicated.

POLYGENIC TRAITS
Poly = many, genic = genes
Genetics is quite complicated and most traits are actually controlled by more than
one gene. In 7th grade, we are not required to talk about concepts such as incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic traits, but they are pretty interesting. All traits that involve color and pigment are polygenic and quite complicated. However, we thought you would want to estimate the skin, hair, and eye
color of your child. So, you are welcome to use this information, but you will not
be tested on it.
If you were unable to use the chart in class, use the science 7 website to see the
color pictures to determine your polygenic genotype.
Chromosome #3, 6, 8, 22
Hair Color
The alleles for hair color are found on many chromosomes.
Therefore, hair color is said to be polygenic (many genes).
The alleles for hair color represent the amount of pigment
that is incorporated into the hair as it grows. The greater the
number of dominant alleles, the darker the hair.
Alleles appear on chromosomes 3,6,8, and 22 in groups of 2.

Chromosome #1, 2, 4
Skin Color
The alleles for skin color are found on many different
chromosomes. Therefore, skin color is said to be polygenic
(many genes). The dominant allele (A) translates into a protein called melanin. This is a dark pigment. Greater
amounts of melanin = darker skin colors.

Chromosome #11, 12
Eye Color
The alleles for eye color are found on many different
chromosomes. Therefore, eye color is said to be polygenic
(many genes). Eye color is controlled by two sets of alleles.
One pair of alleles (F) control the amount of pigment in the
front of the iris. The other pair of alleles (B) control the
amount of pigment in the back of the iris. The dominant alleles “F” and “B” represent dark pigment.
Alleles appear on chromosomes 11 and 12 in groups of two.
HOW COMPLICATED DOES IT GET?
http://openwetware.org/images/7/79/Eyecolor1.pdf
**Eye color comes from a combination of two black and
yellow pigments called melanin in the iris of your eye. If
you have no melanin in the front part of your iris, you
have blue eyes. An increasing proportion of the yellow
melanin, in combination with the black melanin, results
in shades of colors between brown and blue, including
green and hazel. **

HELPFUL HINT:
The polygenic traits are spread out on a bunch of chromosomes, but you
need to put them back together to figure out what the phenotypes are.
Instead of writing them twice, just put the eye color (B’s and G’s from 11
and 12), skin color (A’s from 1,2, and 4), and hair color (H’s from 3,6,8, and
22) on the bottom under polygenic).

*writing the answers requires teacher’s permission. Teacher will initial here: ______________
1. In your project, find an example where you were dominant for a trait. That trait was
___________________________.
2. Why was it hard to figure out whether you were homozygous dominant (2 big letters) or
heterozygous (1 big letter, 1 little letter) for the trait in question #1?
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What does the recessive trait do when your genotype is heterozygous (mixed—1 big and
1 little)? _____________________________________________________________________________
4. Find an example in your project where the child is recessive (2 little letters) and the parents both show at least one dominant trait. That trait was ___________________________.
5. How is it possible to have the situation from question #4? (to display recessive traits when
one parent has a dominant trait)? HINT: look at question #3 and think about a punnett
square if you cross Bb with Bb.
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
6. After you made your chromosomes, you had your baby and wrote down your alleles
(letters) on a blue or orange piece of paper, making a karyotype. Look at that piece of paper. What is a karyotyping test? ________________________________________________________
7. What is one abnormal result (disease) that this test can help diagnose (tell you what disease you have)? ___________________________________________________________________
17
8. If you use the same chromosomes and have a second child, will all the letters land the
same way as your first child? __________________. Based on that information, will the 2nd
child look the same? _______________________________________________________________
Why or why not (hint: use the word probability)?
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
9. In some cases, offspring do not look like their mother nor their father. How might this occur (explain in terms of genetics)? Give an example of a time that this occurred in your project!
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
10. Each person in our class completed this project. Do any offspring look exactly alike?
_______________ What might cause these differences (variation) in offspring (kids)?
11. Think back to the difference between an inherited trait and an environmental trait (you
may use your notes packet). List 2 inherited traits from your project. _______________,
_____________.
12. List 2 possible environmental traits your child might have: _______________, _____________.
13. You drew a final picture of your offspring at the age of 13, how might environmental
factors affect how your offspring could look by that age?
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________
14. Although you have two alleles for each trait you only pass on one allele to your offspring. How does this occur mitosis or meiosis? _________________ How does your offspring
receive the two necessary alleles for each trait? ________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
