Day 1 - (1/5-1/6)
Learning
Target
I can explain the purpose of
meiosis, & describe how the
events of independent
assortment & crossing over
produce genetic variation
within the gene pool.
Dates: 1/5-1/19
Day 2 - (1/7-1/8)
Day 3 - (1/11-1/12)
I can explain the purpose of
meiosis, & describe how the events
of independent assortment &
crossing over produce genetic
variation within the gene pool.
I can describe how each type
of cell division relates to
growth, asexual (cellular)
reproduction, & sexual
reproduction.
I can describe the key
terms used to define the
principles within
Mendelian Genetics.
I can describe the concepts and
principles within Mendelian
Genetics.
What is the difference between a
diploid cell and a haploid cell?
Explain how gene
segregation and independent
assortment play a role in
increasing genetic variation
within a population.
Compare and contrast
(similarities & differences
between) gene segregation
& independent assortment.
Use a Punnetts Square to solve
the problems on the board.
Bell ringer
Are the cells resulting from
mitosis identical to the original
cells or are they unique?

Homework
Assessments
How does meiosis play a role
in setting up genetic
heritability?
Notes/Discussion:
Explain which stages of meiosis
gene segregation along with the
role crossing over (independent
assortment) occur, and emphasize
the role each plays…(also explain
how linked genes interfere with
independent assortment).
Group Activity:
Have the students hypothesize how
this process could occur with a
“trading of cards” activity.
What are the major differences of
mitosis and meiosis and how does
this difference influence
chromosomal layout?
Review activity/discussion
Day 4 - (1/13-1/14)
Notes/Discussion:
Genetics terms &
discussion
Notes/Discussion:
A. Intro to Mendelian
genetics via sexual
reproduction…what is
heritability
B. Genetics
P. 213-222
Group Review:
Questions from remediation
worksheet.
Organize a review sheet from
the bell ringers & exit tickets
for this unit.
Book Assignment
Course: Biology I
Simple Punnett Square
problems (monohybrid
crosses…F1 & F2
generations).
Review/solve some simple
monohybrid crosses by
using Punnett Squares to
predict outcomes for F1 &
F2 generations.
Probability vs. Frequency
Day 5 - (1/15-1/19)
“Solve in Reverse” activity.
If given one parent, and the
frequency of offspring produced
from past breedings, use that
information to determine the
genotype for an unidentified
parent. (Relate to “paternity
tests.”)
Use Punnett Squares to solve
double hybrid crosses (F1)
Notes/Discussion:
Additional key terms for more
complex phenotypic outcomes
(Co-dominance, incomplete
dominance, polygenic traits,
sex-linked traits, etc).
How do the major events of
meiosis produce cells that
are they unique (assorted)
when compared to the
parents?
What is the difference
between probability and
frequency?
Identify which key terms or
concepts you have the most
difficulty with, & turn those
into me before leaving.

Competency/Objective:
4b. Differentiate between the types of cellular reproduction.
5b. Utilize Mendel’s Laws to evaluate the results of monohydrbid & Punnett Squres involving complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex linked, and multiple alleles
(including outcome percentage of both genotypes and phenotypes.) (DOK 2)
