Gene Monsters: Selective Breeding Name:_______________________________ Name:___________________________________ Block:______ MB or KH
Before presenting to Ms. Healy:
1. Make sure your breeding chart is labeled and easily understood.
2. Label all special Gene Monsters with their name and highlight the genotype combinations that make the phenotype characteristics.
Level 1 - The BALD CYCLOPS Characteristics: Bald (kk) , one eyed (ff) and unhorned (hh).
Level 2- The BLUE-GREEN UNICORN Characteristics: One horn (II), bald (kk) green face (??), green arms (QQ, Qq), green body spot (PP, Pp), blue body (RR).
Level 3- The RED DEVIL Characteristics: Red face (ss), red body (rr), red arms (qq), no body spot (pp), orange hair (mm), three horns (ii), both upper and lower fangs (O,o).
3. Be prepared to demonstrate sophisticated understanding to exceed standard. Possible questions.
Do the F1 offspring look like either of the P1 parents?
What observations can you make about the traits that were passed from the parents to the children?
It has often been said that children often resemble their grandparents more than their parents. Is this true based on your three generations of gene monsters?
Are there any characteristics that make all these offspring resemble each other? What are they?
MS-LS3 Heredity: Inheritance and
Variation of Traits
MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a
model to describe that sexual
reproduction results in offspring
with genetic variation. Emphasis
is on using simulations to describe
the cause and effect relationship of
gene transmission from parent(s) to
offspring and resulting genetic
variation.
LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits --Variations of inherited traits between
parent and offspring arise from genetic
differences that result from the subset
of chromosomes (and therefore
genes) inherited. (MS-LS3-2) DCI
LS3.B: Variation of Traits
In sexually reproducing organisms,
each parent contributes half of the
genes acquired (at random) by the
offspring. Individuals have two of each
chromosome and hence two alleles of
each gene, one acquired from each
parent. These versions may be
identical or may differ from each other.

Breeding chart is easily understood,
all of offspring are linked to parents,
breeding partners are identified and
breeding model is completely
accurate.
Breeding chart is easily
understood, all of offspring are
linked to parents, and breeding
model is completely accurate.
Breeding chart is easily
understood, all of offspring
are linked to parents, and
breeding model is mostly
accurate.
Breeding chart is not easily understood,
offspring are not linked to parents, and
breeding model has significant errors.
P1 Generation: Two parents bred
from heterozygous breeders A & B
with 100% accuracy (20 correct
genotypes & phenotypes). Student
demonstrates a sophisticated
understanding of inheritance of traits.
P1 generation forms four offspring for
the F1 generation. F1 forms four
offspring for F2. F2 forms four
offspring for F3. All genotypes and
phenotypes are 100% accurate. At
least one special Gene Monster was
selectively bred (Bald Cyclops, BlueGreen Unicorn or Red Devil) and/or
student demonstrates a sophisticated
understanding of selective breeding.
P1 Generation: Two parents
bred from heterozygous
breeders A & B with 100%
accuracy (20 correct genotypes
& phenotypes).
P1 Generation: Two parents
bred from heterozygous
breeders A & B with ≥80%
accuracy (16 – 19 correct
genotypes & phenotypes)
P1 Generation:
Two parents bred from heterozygous
breeders A & B with ≤80 % accuracy (15 or
less correct genotypes & phenotypes)
