Proficiency Assessment H.1L.3 Heredity Standard: Explain and apply laws of heredity and their relationship to the structure and function of DNA. Title: You Must Choose, But Choose Wisely Introduction Mendelian Genetics Dominant/recessive inheritance X-linked inheritance Codominant/Incomplete dominance Polygenic inheritance Punnett Squares (monohybrid) Homozygous/Heterozygous DNA and Heredity DNA makes up a chromosome Chromosomes are organized into segments called genes Genes code for proteins Proteins produce traits of an organism Genotype/Phenotype Vocabulary: homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype, pedigree, Punnett Square, carrier, color-blindness, crossover, genetic expression, generation (P1, F1, F2), hemophilia, karyotype, mutation, non-disjunction, polygenic, sequence, sex-linked, endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph Possible learning targets: Explain the laws of heredity. Explain the relationship of the laws of heredity to the structure of DNA. Explain the relationship of the laws of heredity to the function of DNA. Apply laws of heredity. Assessment In the role of a genetic counselor at a sperm bank, students must identify genetic traits, including phenotype and genotype, for individuals in the bank and evaluate the “best” match for a fictitious couple, Bella and Edward. They must know basic laws of heredity and what causes some deviations from those laws. It is essential that students have some exposure to human genetic traits and likely should have experienced the process of genetically constructing a child following simplified rules. Type: Case Study/Essay Time needed: 1-2 class periods Materials: Paper and pencil – can be typed at teacher’s discretion, copies of Face Trait Key and donor tables Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment September 4, 2012 Directions: Deliver student task description, donor files, trait key, and scoring guide to students. Give them time to process and write. Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment September 4, 2012 Student Handout You Must Choose, But Choose Wisely You are a genetic counselor at the local fertility clinic, The Michael Phelps Memorial Sperm Bank. A young couple, Bella and Edward, has been referred to you after discovering that Edward has an extraordinarily low sperm count and cannot successfully impregnate Bella. In your database, you have hundreds of sperm donors’ characteristics listed. You must select the appropriate donor for Edward and Bella.

Explain why you would recommend those traits. Explain why the selection of a sperm donor may not result in the desired traits appearing in their child and what might cause unexpected traits to appear.
