Original Promptguided notes /fill-in-the-blank notes on this TEK. The student is expected to predict possible outcomes of various genetic combinations using monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including non-Mendelian traits of incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked traits, and multiple alleles.
This resource provides a comprehensive introduction to Mendelian genetics, focusing on key concepts such as genotype, phenotype, dominant and recessive alleles, and Punnett Squares for predicting genetic outcomes. Students will learn about monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including guided and faded practice exercises that allow them to apply their understanding of inheritance patterns. Additionally, the material covers non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, including incomplete dominance, codominance, and multiple alleles, supported by real-world examples such as blood type inheritance. It also addresses sex-linked traits, specifically color blindness, and includes reflective components to gauge students' understanding of these genetic principles.
