Heredity Unit Plan
STANDARDS
HS-LS1-1 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of
DNA determines the structure of proteins which carry out the essential functions of life through
systems of specialized cells.
HS-LS3-1 Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and
chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
HS-LS3-2 Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic
variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring
during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.
Vocabulary: Needs to include the word, definition, and practical application (a picture to help you
remember the word or use the word in a sentence).
Major labs/activities:
Gene
Allele
Gamete
Homologous Chromosome
carrier
sex linked gene
Homozygous

Genetics Objectives- Answer in complete sentences
1. How is meiosis related to Mendel’s laws?
2. Compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis?
3. Why are the products of mitosis and meiosis different?
4. Make a monohybrid punnett square using whichever trait you would like. Use that trait and another
to make a dihybrid cross. Find the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in both problems.
5. What is the difference between polygenic and single gene trait inheritance.
6. Give examples of incomplete and codominant inheritance patterns.
7. Draw a simple pedigree of a sex linked recessive trait. Label each person’s genotype.
8. How is a karyotype used to determine the sex of a child and how can diseases be diagnosed using
it?
9. How did environmental factors affect the expression of genes in the tobacco seed lab?
10. How did the tobacco seeds lab demonstrate the law of segregation?
11. What was causing Lorenzo to lose control of his muscles, ability to swallow, etc?
12. How does the DNA code for hemoglobin in a sickle cell individual differ from the hemoglobin
gene in a normal individual? Explain what symptoms occur because of this mutation.
13. What are the 4 possible blood types a person can have? Give an example of a cross between 2
different blood typed individuals that will produce 4 different blood types in their children.
