Variation of Features
1. Look
at four of their
features to determine what trait they have: little fingers straight or
bent, earlobes attached or not, hairline forms a widow's peak or not, and
tongue can curl or not.
2.
Determine the distribution of the four traits in the class.
3. Study
a population of
larkeys, a make-believe animal, to analyze their traits
by reading " A Larkey Yammer"- p. 56-57 Populations and Ecosystems
Resources Book.

Intro to
Genetics
1. Understand that
a genotype is
an
organisms particular combination of paired alleles while the
phenotype represents the expressed trait
2. Understand that
genotypes can be heterozygous or homozygous and that 1 dominant
allele means that the dominant trait will be expressed
3. Participate in an
activity to show the probability of the expression of different traits and
determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the individuals by
using Punnett
Squares to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of
offspring
