CHNOPS Genetics Project Name ________________________________
DATE ________ PER ____ Mrs. Naclerio
OBJECTIVES:
Students will be able to….
 Simulate mechanisms of protein synthesis
 Determine genotype of past, present, and future generations of a CHNOP family
 Identify dominant and recessive traits among a CHNOP family

Use a pedigree to show the genotypes and phenotypes of a CHNOP family
KEY VOCABULARY:
Dominant
Recessive
Genotype
Phenotype
DNA
RNA
Protein synthesis
Pedigree chart
PROJECT IDEAS: poster, book, other (approved by teacher)
Homozygous
Heterozygous
Punnett square
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
1.
Students will randomly choose 12 DNA sequences in class to determine the 6 genes of their
CHNOP
2.
Students will use these sequences to identify the mRNA, tRNA (use tRNA chart), and amino acid sequences of their CHNOP using the data table below.
3.
Using the amino acid sequence chart, students identify expressed for that gene.
4.
Using the 6 traits, the students will have to complete the following: a) Sketch and label the CHNOP on the sheet provided b) Create a pedigree chart of one 1 of the traits
 Must include possible grandparent, parent, and siblings for that trait (use
Punnett squares to figure out genotype!)
 You will be given a possible mate (from the class) and will have to include possible offspring
 USE PUNNETT SQUARES!!
 You will draw the phenotype and label the genotypes
CHECKLIST:
Have the completed the following to complete the project?
□ Completed the 6 gene sequence chart
□ Sketched and labeled CHNOP picture
□ Completed the Pedigree Chart
Must include:
 Grandparent, parents, siblings, mate, offspring
 Genotypes and phenotypes (drawing)
 Punnett square for mate and offspring
 Name all family members
 Give a family name (last name)
 Identify the dominant and recessive traits
DUE DATES:
_________ Gene sequence chart and CHNOP rough draft sketch (in class)
_________ Pedigree chart rough draft (in class)
_________ Project rough draft for peer review (peer review done in class, rough draft to be completed at home)
_________ Final Project

2.
What is the law of dominance? (500)
3.
Define allele. (502)
4.
Contrast homozygous and heterozygous. (503)
5.
Contrast geneotype and phenotype. (503)
6.
What is a Punnett square and what can it be used for? (504)
7.
What is a pedigree chart? (549 – 550)

8.
What are sex-linked traits? Give some examples of sex-linked disorders. (520 & 549-550)
9.
What are autosomal disorders? Give some examples. (551-2)
10.
Having blood types A and B are considered co-dominant alleles. Both of these can be expressed at the same time. Fill in the chart below to show the characteristics of each blood type. (206) phenotype genotype Antigen on RBC Antibodies in blood Donation status
