WARM UP!

IN YOUR GROUPS COMPLETE THE

WORKSHEET THAT WAS GIVEN
1. One student writes and every other
student share their idea/s
2.Write your names at the back of
the paper
 Inheritance:
9/19
Essential Question: How can
siblings look so different if they
share the same parents?
 Ignite: 9/19

Are they related to each other?

Essential Question: How can

siblings look so different if they

1. Are these
ladies
Answer on
your warm related?
up sheet 2. If so,How do
you think they
are related?
Agenda
Ignite: Are they related?
Chunk: Inheritance notes
Chew: Class trait inventory
Review: Then vs. Now exit ticket
Let’s take some notes :)
Using the next few slides you
will follow along and fill in
your Inheritance notesheet
Trait: a characteristic of an organism
Examples: Eye color and hair color.

Gouldian Finches
Flint/Calico Corn

What are some of the traits of the Corn and Finches?

Some traits are not visible to the naked eye.

Different Blood types

Situs inversus (mirror image organs)

Tetrachromats have four different types of cones

in their eyes and can see a greater range of colors
Diabetes: Type One that the average person
Gene: A section of DNA that codes for a specific
trait. Genes are located on chromosomes.
Pair of chromosomes

Gene located
on a
chromosome
Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome from
the pair comes from the mother; the other from the father.

Heredity: the passing of genetic information from parents to offspring.

• What visible traits did these parents pass on to their offspring?

• Why are the offspring not all identical?

Phenotype is the description of an organism's physical appearance and traits.

Genotype is the genes transmitted from parents to offspring.

What is the phenotype of each person? What is the genotype of each person?
 Which eye color is dominant (D)? Which eye color is recessive (r)?

A recessive trait is “hidden” by a dominant trait A dominant trait will always be seen (expressed) if it
if the dominant gene is passed to the offspring is present because either there are two dominant
from one or both parents. genes passed to the offspring or the dominant trait
“hides” a recessive trait if the recessive gene is
present.

Class trait inventory mini lab
Using the class trait inventory
we will collect data about
ourselves and our classmates
on types of trait they have.
Then vs Now
On your exit ticket tell me one thing
that you USED TO THINK about
genetics and inheritance vs What
you KNOW now that we have
discussed in class!
