Today, we reviewed the front side of the Exceptions Problems worksheet that students did for homework as our warm-up. Following this, we completed the Exceptions lecture notes with the Blood type and Sex-Linked traits examples. After the lecture, students finished the back side of the Exceptions Problems worksheet. See the post from last class (4/21 & 4/24) for the worksheet links, if needed.
The second part of class, we started the "Genetics of Parenthood" Lab. Students worked with a partner to make a baby- or at least determine 30 facial characteristics for a pretend offspring. Each parent is heterozygous for the trait. We flipped coins to determine which allele is passed on to the offspring. Next class, we will complete this independent assortment of alleles and draw a picture of what our offspring looks like.
