Chapter on Heredity
Students will define trait,
explain and draw pedigrees,
and describe how pedigrees
are used to trace patterns of
inheritance. Students will have
a general understanding of
pedigree lingo. Such as:
first cousin
2nd cousin
1st cousin once removed
maternal
paternal
aunt
uncle
grandparents
great granparents
niece and nephew
On your index card, write an
exciting radio broadcast of a
punnette square that explains a
monohybrid cross and a
dihybrid cross. See graphic.
Please be sure to point to the
area of a square that you might
be explaining. Strive to
incorporate all the following
terms in your explanation.
Explain them in detail by using
similes and metaphors-not
scientific language. You may
work with a partner on this.
