Learning Area BIOLOGY – GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES

Grade Level Grade 8

Time Allotment 60 minutes

I. Objectives
A. Content Standard
The learners demonstrate an understanding of meiosis as one of the
processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian pattern of
Inheritance.
B. Performance Standard
The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation
plant and animal breeding.
C. Learning Competencies / Objectives Write the LC code for each
The learners should be able to predict phenotypic and genotypic
expressions of traits following simple patterns of inheritance.
Code: S8LT-IVf-18

IV. Procedures
Teacher’s Activity Materials/Assessment Tool

A. Before the lesson

Elicit (7 minutes)- Mystery Box
The teacher will prepare a mystery box which contains Mystery Box
pictures of words related to Genetics. Pictures of words found inside the
Mystery Box:
(e.g. Gregor Johann Mendel, pea plant etc.)
 Gregor Johann Mendel
Key Question:  Round and Wrinkled seeds
What can you say about the picture?  Yellow and Green pods
 White and Purple pea flower
Engage (5 minutes)
Short video clip about phenotype.
Key Question:
What you’ve understood from the video? Video clip

Explore (10 minutes)

From the understanding of the learners from the video,
they will match the words given to them by the teacher
to the different definitions posted on the board and will
check their answers after.
 Genotype- the combination of alleles inherited
from parents
 Phenotype- the physical expression of the Metacards

genotype
 Homozygous- when both alleles for the trait are
the same
 Heterozygous- when both alleles for the trait
are different
Explain (10 minutes)
 The teacher will then introduce to the class the
phenotype and genotype from the work of
Gregor Johann Mendel on his experiment to the Sample of a big Punnett Square
pea plants, and
 A step by step presentation on the Punnett
Square.
Elaborate (7 minutes)
The teacher will now let the learners solve problems
using the Punnett square through an activity.
Activity: Filling Up the Punnett Square Activity Sheet
After the activity, each group will report their answers
and the checking of answers will follow (missed
concepts will be emphasized by the teacher).
Evaluate (5 minutes) 20-item Quiz
The learners will predict phenotypic and genotypic
expressions of traits based on the problem given to
them.
Extend (next day)
How to fill in the Punnett Square using two hybrids.
