Create interactive lecture notes for 9th grade Texas high school students aligned with TEKs over the following: DAY 5 - Objective: Students will explain and predict outcomes for non-Mendelian inheritance. - Key Vocabulary: Incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, sex-linked traits. - Bell Ringer: What does incomplete dominance mean? - Engage: Incomplete dominance flower color demonstration. - Explore: Solve codominance and incomplete dominance crosses. - Explain: Blood type (multiple...

This resource explores non-Mendelian inheritance patterns, specifically incomplete dominance and codominance, providing students with the learning objectives to explain and predict outcomes for these genetic crosses. It includes various activities such as the Think-Pair-Share, independent practice examples like erminette chickens, and the multiple alleles concept with the ABO blood groups. Additionally, it delves into sex-linked inheritance, focusing on traits like colorblindness. The resource also incorporates pedigree analysis to highlight different inheritance patterns, using real-life cases such as Huntington's Disease and Cystic Fibrosis. Students are guided through a case study on platypus conservation genetics, emphasizing the importance of genetic diversity in population dynamics.
