FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
INTRODUCTION :
AS WE ALL KNOW THAT FAMILY IS THE ESSENTIAL PART
OF SOCIETY. EVERY MEN LEARNS THE BASIC THINGS FROM HIS FAMILY ONLY. SO
,HERE IN THIS LESSON , WE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT OUR VARIOUS KIND OF FAMILY
RELATIONS AS WELL AS THEIR RESEMBLANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH FAMILY
MEMBERS DUE TO GENETIC INHERITANCE IN DETAIL.
WHAT IS GENETICAL INHERITANCE :
Genetical inheritance is the passing or acquisition of genetic characteristics from a parent to a
child it occurs in all species and is exhibited through physical or behavioural characters.
HOW GENETIC CONDITIONS ARE INHERITANCE:
Each cell in the body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome from each pair is
inherited from your mother and one is inherited from your father. These chromosomes
contain the genes you inherit from your parents.
Inheritance depend on factors including:



what genes they inherit
whether the gene for that condition is dominant or recessive
their environment, including any treatment they may receive
DISEASES:
Like features some diseases are also inheritance for e.g. sickle cell formation in blood. But
some diseases are due to poor lifestyle.
While your genes may increase your likelihood of developing a certain condition, this risk
is also closely linked to lifestyle factors. These factors are all linked, because a gene or genes
may also make you sensitive to something in the environment.
For example, coronary heart disease (when the heart's blood supply is blocked) can run in
families, but a poor diet, smoking and a lack of exercise can also increase your risk of
developing the condition.
Teaching aids: powerpoint presentation, photographs newspaper clippings for

2 STUDENT ORIENTED:
COMPETENCIES: A) OBSERVATION.
B) IDENTIFICATION
C) DISCOVERY OF FACT
CONCEPTS:
A) IDEA ABOUT SEVERAL GENERATION
B) BASICS IDEAS OF HIGHT AND HAIR
C) OBSERVING AND APPRICIATING QUALITIES
AND SKILLS OF RELATIVES
D) OBSERVING MORE THINGS IN YOUR
SURROUNDING WHICH ARE INHERITANCE
LIKE DISEASES
3
CONCEPT DETAILS:
A)IDEA ABOUT SEVERAL GENERATIONS:
CHILD WILL OBSERVE HIS/HER FAMILY MEMBERS AND TRY TO FIND SIMILARITY
BETWEEN THEM AND HIMSELF.
HE WILL LIST VARIOUS HABITS AND FEATURES THAT IS SIMILAR BETWEEN HIM AND
HIS PARENTS.
CHILD WILL TRY TO FIND REASON BEHIND IT. HE WILL DISCUSS ABOUT HIS ANCESTORS
WITH HIS PARENTS AND TRYTO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM.
HE WILL OBSERVE OTHER RELATIVES LIKE NANI, DADI,MAUSI ETC.AND TRY TO FIND
SIMILAR FEATURES AND HABITS BETWEEN THEM AND REASON.WHY?
B) BASIC IDEAS OF HIGHT AND HAIR:
CHILD WILL DEVELOP AWARENESS,COLLECT DATA AND INFORMATION ABOUT HIS
HEIGHT AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.THEN HE WILL IDENTIFY THE MEMBER WHOM
HE RESEMBALE AND SAME PROCESS HE WILL FOLLOW WITH OTHER MEMBERS
.FINALLY HE WILL DISCOVER FACT THAT RESEMBLENCE IS DUE TO GENEITICAL
INHEERITANCE.
C) OBSERVING AND APPRICIATING QUALITIES AND SKILLS OF RELATIVES:
WHEN CHILD WILL TRY TO FIND OUI MORE ABOUT HIS MATERNAL AND PATERNAL
RELATIVES HE WILL COME TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR SKILLS , QUALITIES AND SOME
MORE .LIKE THIS HE WILL DEVOLOP A HABIT TO APPRICIATE THOSE PEOPLE HAVING
GOOD QUALITES. HE WILL TRY TO FIND THAT WHETHER SAME THING IS CARRIED OUT
BY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OR NOT.
D)OBSERVING MORE THINGS IN SURROUNDING WHICH ARE INHERITANCE:
CHILD WILL OBSERVE HIS SURROUNDING AND TRY TO FIND OUT THAT ARE ALL
DISEASES INHERITANCE. HE WILL DISCUSS THIS MATTER IN CLASS, HOME, ANOMG
FRIENDS AND DRAW CONCLUSIONS THAT ALL HABITS OR DISEASES ARE NOT
INHERITANCE. DISEASES LIKE POLIO DEAFNESS ETC. ARE NOT INHERITANCE .ONLY FEW
DISEASES LIKE DIABETES, AIDS, THYROID ETC.ARE GENITICAL.
4) ACTIVITIES:
A) FAMILY TREE: WRITE NAMES OF ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS ALONG WITH THEIR
AGES. HOW MANY GENERATIONS HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO GET DETAILS ABOUT.
Result : CHILD WILL COME TO KNOW ABOUT HIS ANCESTORS AND VARIOUS RELATIONS.
THEN PASTE SNAPS OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND TRY TO FIND OUT SIMILARITY
BETWEEN EACH OF THEM.
Result: HE WILL OBSERVE SIMILARITY AND CONCLUDE THAT CHILD ACQUIRES SOME
TRAITS FROM HIS PARENTS AND SOMETIME FROM RELATIVES DUE TO GENETICAL
INHERITANCE.
B) TABULATE THE HABITS AND TRAITS OF DIFFERENT FAMILIES.
NAMES OF 1ST FAMILY MEMBERS
HABITS AND TRAITS
NAMES OF 2ND FAMILY MEMBERS
HABITS AND TRAITS
Result: CHILD WILL IDENTIFY THAT SOME TRAITS ARE INHERITANCE AND SOME ARE
LEARNT FROM ENVIROMENT.
C) DRAWING PEOPLE THE FAMILY-PHOTOGRAPHING THEM AND MAKING AN
ALBUM,
Result: OBSERVATION WILL DEVLOP.
D) WRITING EXERCISE ABOUT AN INFANT THEY HAVE OBSERVED.
GROWTH (AGE IN MONTHS)
DEVELOPMENT
Result: HE WILL TRY TO IDENTIFY BETWEEN INFANT AND INFANT’S PARENTS ANS
RELATIVES.
E) DISCUSSION ON TWINS AND IDENTICAL TWINS
Result: ALL TWINS ARE NOT IDENTICAL.
F) COLLECT INFORMATION about pulse polio and measures taken by the Government of
to eradicate it.
G) Collecting information about the diseases inherited to the next generation
NAME OF DISEASE
INHERITANCE YES/NO
Result: SOME DISEASES ARE INHERITANCE LIKE DIABETES, THYROID etc.
