Mating Game. Follow the instructions to see how your
alleles combine to make your very own baby.
Design a Web Page. Create a web page in word about
Mendel and his findings). Include explanations,
pictures, links to animations, etc. Mrs. K said she
would be happy to help you if you need it!
Predicting Results Lab. Use beads to simulate rabbit
fur color alleles. Take a chance and see how your
rabbits turn out! See the worksheet for instructions
Trace Your Traits. Follow a simple dominant or
simple recessive trait (right/left handed, freckles, hitch
hiker thumb, tongue rolling, widows peak) or disorder
in your family. Draw a family tree to show who has
the trait. Write their possible genotypes below.
Include at least 3 generations.
Chromosome Mapping. Use what you know and the
information on page 272 to map the genes A, B, C, and
D on a piece of notebook paper. The frequencies of
recombination between the genes are: A and D—60%,
A and B—15%, C and D—10% and B and C—35%.
Answer the following question: Where on the
chromosome is crossing over most likely to occur?

Tracking the High Cholesterol Gene. Put what you
know about genetics to work in the real world by
reading and answering questions about the pattern in
which high cholesterol is inherited.
Design a Mouse Experiment. How can I find the
genotype of a black mouse? Use your knowledge of
phenotype and genotype to cross that would help you
find out if the mouse is homozygous or heterozygous
black. If your experiment is plausible, we can try it
with REAL MICE!!!
Is Genetic Testing A Good Idea? Sometimes genetic
disorders can be identified before birth of a baby.
Research this topic and decide if you think it is the
right thing to do and why/why not. YOU MUST TAKE
A SIDE!!! Also, don’t forget to list two sources.
Is it Possible to Create a New Species by Crossing
Two Different Species? Include the following:
1. The definition of a species.
2. What two species would you use?
3. An explanation defending your answer?
4. List two sources where you found your
information.
