STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:Mendel & Patterns of Heredity
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
•
•
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS): •
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: •
inherited?
Students will understand: •
Describe how the process of DNA replication
results in the transmission and /or conservation of genetic information.
•
Explain the functional relationships between DNA, genes, alleles, and
chromosomes and their roles in inheritance.
•
Describe and/or predict observed patterns of inheritance (i.e.,
dominant, recessive, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, polygenic ,
and multiple alleles.
•
Desc ribe processes that can alter composition or number of
chromosomes (i.e., crossing-over, nondisjunction, duplication, translocation,
deletion, insertion, and inversion).
VOCABULARY: Alleles

Explain how genetic information is inherited.
Compare Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.

How is genetic information
•
What are the differences between Mendalian and nonMendelian patterns of inheritance?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
•
Summarize Mendel’s garden pea experiments and
explain why peas are a good test subject.
•
Describe the hypotheses developed by Mendel
•
Use a Punnett square to predict the outcome of a
monohybrid cross.
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:•
Punnett squares problems
•
